Well, I'd say that there's at least one AC who is blinder. Much blinder.
I've gone through this exercise with many(?) AC. An AC suggests I could be wrong in some way without giving any evidence - often not even the slightest detail. I point out how useless that approach is. They double down.
That is self-defeating since at best, they convince nobody new and at worst unconvince a few people through the juvenile argument and transparent bad faith of their argument.

Oh plenty of peoole have pointed out how you're wrong only for you to pull out bullshit oil funded science that contradicts what the oil companies admitted to knowing in the 70s. Other topics too, so now there is no point wasting time finding sources and arguing back and forth while you smugly just ignore whatever you want. Poor khallow, annoyed people have stooped taking them seriously and trying desperately to make your critics out to be the failures. Typical of rightwing libertarians like yourself. By any chance did you participate in Trump's insurrection?

You serious? First, I doubt you're right about what the oil companies knew in the 1970s. There's been this propaganda game to allege that the oil companies knew about catastrophic climate change way back when. But when you actually look at the evidence, you find that's a ridiculous exaggeration of the truth. Basically, oil companies knew back then that climate change could be a problem in the future. That really is all we know now, though there is evidence of modest climate change now. It has changed surprisingly litle.

In other words, they probably would have been just as shitty examples as the one concrete example you choose to provide in years.

Yet another example of your ignorance in this matter. Where's the evidence?
