      You did not ever say it was a necessary, but I think that a plausible (not the only or even intended) reading of your post made the implication that the sheer weight of facts should compel a person to that position. And so I jumped into make sure that everyone was clear that it's not the only defeasible position to hold, and I'm glad to hear we might be in agreement on that fact.

          Damn I guess I gotta ignore all the climate reports that conclude that we are all going to die

          Look, maybe I misreading you there, but surely you see it's feasible how I might construe that as you claiming that the sheer weight of evidence should compel someone to think that climate change is going to kill everyone.

              You don't have to do this for me, but I would appreciate it if you could point to one of the specific off-ramps I missed where you indicated that so I could see exactly where the wires were crossed.

                  Sorry for any distressed caused, that's usually the opposite of my goal, but I can certainly see that I may have contributed unnecessarily to that here as well.

                  Cheers and stay safe.
