eters might be imperfect. And if they can do it then you'd have a reasonably good idea that maybe they've at least seen both sides. If they don't know what you're talking about and they insult you and call you a cretin and change the topic it means they've never looked into it.

So here's what. If you can make a good argument that the climate change stuff is real, here's what you should know. You should know what the heat island effect is. That's because the thermometer stations were once away from the cities but the cities grew and the heat from the city is not really what the planet heat is. It would artificially change the thermometers. Would you know that? Did you know that the little enclosure measures for the thermometers are in buildings that are painted, usually painted white, and that when the paint fades as it does it can change the temperature of the thermometer having nothing to do with the planet and everything to do with just the paint faded? Did you know that? Did you know that if a thermometer breaks or is missing sometimes they'll just plug in a number of what they think it would have been? Did you know that?

All right, so if you can't list at least three reasons that you should doubt the terrestrial thermometers, oh here's another one. How much of the world are they measuring? And when you talk about the ocean which would be a different measurement technique, how much of the ocean is being measured? And isn't it true that the ocean can store heat in different places that are unpredictable and in amounts that we don't exactly know? So that if the temperature somewhere went up maybe it went down somewhere but that down is in the ocean and nobody's looking at it.

If you can't answer the questions at least at that level that you know that these are issues even if you don't know what the answer to the issue is, you haven't looked into it. And if you believe that 99% of scientists being on one side has any credibility I can't have a conversation with you.

So here's my problem. I keep running into people online who are operating at the lowest level of awareness and they're pretty sure I'm the biggest freaking idiot they've ever seen in their life. It's like God, 99% of scientists. Are you a trite? 99, Scott, do you understand that 99 is almost 100? Do you understand? And I'm up here saying do you really think the news is real? You think the news is real? I can't have a conversation with you if you think news is real. I can't have a conversation with you if you think the people getting paid to say it's real are saying it's real and that means it's real. I can't have a conversation with you. So I end up like sort of giving up because before you could have a conversation on climate change you'd have to start with how the entire system works, what the economics are, how people lie, how every other system like this is clearly and demonstrably rigged. And once I understood that everything of this type is rigged, everything, there's nothing where you can't exactly tell and there are billions of dollars involved that isn't rigged. They're all rigged. If somebody could make a lot of money from it and it's big and complicated and you'll never know exactly what the truth is, that's all rigged. And there's probably never going to be an exception to that.

If you don't understand that I can't have a conversation with you about climate change because you're so lost. And again I say I spent most of my early life at the bottom level of awareness because I hadn't looked into it and I thought 99% of scientists they must be right. How many physicists do you believe told us that string theory was the future of physics? I don't know the answer to that but I'll bet most said yeah string theory, you know it's not all worked out yet but pretty sure this is going to give us something like what civilization looks like or reality looks like. Did it? No it didn't. I would say that all the physicists probably just parroted the same thing, string theory, string theory. And a lot of them were getting money so they really were in favor of string theory because they could get funded that way. So no you should not believe anything that most of the scientists believe is true but it's hard to know if it's hard to know.
