Ok Im way behind but can someone tell me why arguments like this keep coming up desperately trying to make climate change not-a-bad-thing?

Like I'm dumb as a rock. But this is like saying "Human bodies are made of water, so you won't die if you drown/drink too much water". Literally you can poison yourself to death if you drink too much water

Pretty much every chemical if taken in excess is poisonous. Why would carbon dioxide be any loving different because it's a plant food, or "what humans are made of". I bet you can put a plant in a room, fill it with lethal amounts of carbon dioxide and visibly see it shrivel and die.

You're applying a minimum understanding of science to people who have completely no understanding of science.

And, just so you know, most plants require carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, so placing a plant in a room full of CO2 would probably make it flourish. Plants give off oxygen as a waste product of photosynthesis, they're like the opposite of us and generally speaking animal and plant life have a kind of symbiotic relationship.

i think it's utterly hilarious that now republicans hate the FBI because they were told to by Trump of all people.

"Actually, you guys now hate the FBI and the CIA, they are out to get Trump and it's a huge conspiracy, we're the good guys they are all bad."

and people didn't even blink, they now do hate them. it's mind-mindbogglingly strange.

Neat. Does this mean if we were elves and lived in trees for houses and excessively green wonderlands we could also pollute as much as we want with our wasteful technology and still be ok?

shiiiiiit son, that's what being corrupt is all about. you don't end up in high level positions in this world without completely drinking the coolaid. if you step out of line once you get cut off (not by the voters, but by the lobbyist). these old fuckers in politics are some of the most chaotically evil assholes you will ever meet, but their greed is the most predicable thing about them, so rich families and companies can rely on that get their agenda (demands) satisfied.

It depends. Bringing someone up to the guillotine, covering their head with a sack, putting their head down on the chopping block causing them to go into a blinded panic, followed by the eventual sound of the blade being released and rushing down towards their neck, instilling them with unimaginable fear for the least remaining second of their life

It's actually pretty hosed up. I would prefer to just shoot them in the back of the head quickly. With the guillotine it's "fast" but it's still torturous, just not physically

yet all the while they think jeff bezos is going to rocketpack in and whisk them away to his private amazon battleship. in the Carlin episode he describes getting chunks of your flesh torn out and filled with molten lead. When that poo poo starts happening and you're praying for death, there is only doom on your mind, the real lesson is learned.
