The time has come for me to apologize to warmizombies. Only now have I come to see the error of my ways. I have been touched by the UN, moved by the passions drawn by this EXISTENTIAL THREAT.

Words cannot express the sheer emotion that ripped through me as António Guterres read from a script in pure dynamic monotone while even occasionally lifting his head from the paper.

How can I join the Church? I'm sold. We need more taxes. We need more taxes! Existential threats are solved through taxes!

People reading speeches, are usually lying... If you are sincere, and care, you'd only need to glance down at notes, you'd be prepared. School kids stand up, and read out loud, expect a little more from adults, selling something.

Maybe take it easy on the adult 'koolaid', watch the video again in the morning (or early afternoon), when your head clears...

But Hitler was also insane, he believed everything he said. To him, it was the truth. The disturbing part, was how easy it was for him to convince so many others, that it was the truth as well. Global Warming is a lie, but some strongly believe it's true, but there seems to be a lot of trouble convincing large groups of people that it's the truth. The UN hasn't found their 'Hitler' yet, or people learned from the past, and tend not to believe the rantings of lunatics anymore.

The people who rely on reading their speeches, either don't fully understand the material, or don't believe in it. The need to read it, to convince themselves, before they vocalize it. This observation doesn't apply to everyone, or every sort of speech, but if you know the individual is comfortable speaking candidly in public, without a script, then you know something is wrong when they are mostly reading out loud, will on camera. There are a few other observation of the speaker, that can indicated deception, like body language; busy hands, poker face, posture. A lot of this stuff is know, and many of them are professional liars. Either use them to advantage, or try to mask them, depending on the audience the wish to deceive. It's a lot to control, all at the same time, something all ways slips by.

So if someone looks at their notes you don't trust him. I point out a counter example and you don't trust people who don't look at their notes enough.

Whether Global warming is true or not is not determined by the speaker but by evidence. Something that is lacking for your argument.

Well said. The motives, personality, status or authority of the messenger don't make the message true of false. It's a better test to have the least convincing messenger deliver a message anyway.

Guess something wrong in your reading comprehension skills... Some one reading their speech, is suspicious, if they claim to be passionate about what they are speaking on. If they claim to believe and care, then it's already something the know, and have confidence in.

I list several other points I use, to determine whether a speaker is being less than truthful.

The Global Warming 'evidence' isn't any better. Al Gore's moving was full of 'evidence' that frozen and reformed, actually many times. The vast plumes of white clouds coming of power plants in the winter, were steam, not pollution, not CO2, and not generally seen in the summer months. I live in Florida, our tourist beaches are important to our economy. We lose some to tropical storms (erosion), but no evidence of rising sea levels.

Basically, all the global warming 'evidence' is talk, and math-magic. In 40 years of global warming, there isn't anything that has continuously gotten worse, year after year, except for those things reported in speeches. We are assure global warming has been progressing for 300 years, but the cumulative effects only exist on papers. We just aren't seeing it out in the actual world. It comes down entirely to faith, what the individual wants to believe. I have faith in my abilities to sort out the facts from the fiction, and who to believe who to take a closer look at.

The speaker might not actually be lying, just not know any better, no confidence, just handed a piece of paper, a script. It rises suspicion to me, and I look for other evidence. Either way, I still put a question mark on the content, until I learn different. I'm not an easy sale, don't pass out faith lightly.

The powerplants are burning coal to make the steam. I don't think anyone with a basic knowledge thinks any different. the evidence is the keeling curve, the Ice mass balance the fact that winters are getting milder ect. ect.

The evidence is there. The fact you choose not to accept it and spend your time and energy trying to mislead people is not my problem.

None of that is happening. Just as Hitler was convinced everything he said was true, so do you.

It is very much your problem that he isn't joining your religion and validating your personal beliefs.

No its: "The truth is out there".

Then why do you constantly argue the opposite??

You are testing the messenger but not the message??!?

You are locked in paradox. Which is it, dude?

The Keeling curve is a proper noun. It is capitalized. It has no relation to steam.

Not measurable.

What evidence?
* You cannot measure the temperature of the Earth. There are not enough thermometers.
* You cannot measure the amount of snow and ice on Earth. There is no instrumentation for it.

It is YOU trying to mislead people. You are denying statistical mathematics to support your religion.
