His hoax is that he tries to get people to believe he's not sexually obsessed with trannies.

More pertinent hoax questions to our current situation: 

1. Do you believe Joe Biden won the 2020 Presidential election? 
2. Do you believe man-made climate change is real, seriously threatens humanity, and that our future survival demands we move away from fossil fuels? 
3. Do you believe Covid 19 killed millions of people and that this was halted by the widespread availability of vaccines? 
4. Do you believe that the recent felony conviction of Donald Trump was planned and orchestrated by the federal government? 
5. Do you believe that Joe Biden is mentally infirm and that the decisions  he make as President are guided by those around him?

I agree with almost all of this, (obviously I don't think the "vaxx" did squat), and I do believe that the Federal govt did have some part in the cases against trump

The answers to my questions have been unsurprising but still depressing to me. At least half of this nation (mainly the conservative half) is engaged in delusion. The differences between us are no longer limited to ideology. All too many of you simply believe in things that just aren’t true.

I agree 100%.  You and your side have been deluded for far too long, to the point where your side is dividing this country.  When you're ready to join the rest of us in reality, truth and logic, we'll be here waiting for you.

It's a hoax by some, and believed by others. Those that are mentally ill fall for the hoax.

No, but he seemed really worked up that the other thread didn’t have a question about trannies, so I included one for him, and yet he still won’t vote.   @EternalShinyAndChrome, are you going to vote?

Like because we’re going to run out?  Or because the average temperature might increase a couple degrees every couple hundred years?

I’m not sure it’s even gonna matter at this point. 2035 targets we won’t meet aren’t any better than 2050 targets we won’t meet, and anyway we might be past the point of reversing all but plague level catastrophe, ie half the planet or more.

I think we’re in a race against time for cheap desalinization which I actually think may be coming in time but we’ll see. Otherwise the southwest is gonna dry up like a sponge in the sun and holy crap when it does. 
 

on the other side of our country Florida’s real estate on both sides of the peninsula are going to become uninhabitable whether by storm, incursion or lack of insurance. It’s already happening. I think trump watching mar a lago disappear into the ocean would be as good as any jail time.

That seems awfully vague.

There are some real impacts of climate change in certain areas like this:

 I just don’t think it’s as much of a concern as people think for the world as a whole.

Net Zero Averted Temperature Increase

Abstract

Using feedback-free estimates of the warming by increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and observed rates of increase, we estimate that if the United States (U.S.) eliminated net CO2 emissions by the year 2050, this would avert a warming of 0.0084 ◦C (0.015 ◦F), which is below our ability to accurately measure. If the entire world forced net zero CO2 emissions by the year 2050, a warming of only 0.070 ◦C (0.13 ◦F) would be averted. If one assumes that the warming is a factor of 4 larger because of positive feedbacks, as asserted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the warming averted by a net zero U.S. policy would still be very small, 0.034 ◦C (0.061 ◦F). For worldwide net zero emissions by 2050 and the 4-times larger IPCC climate sensitivity, the averted warming would be 0.28 ◦C (0.50 ◦F).

TL;dr -- using worst case model, both a net-zero US or entire globe by 2050 have negligible impact on temperatures.
