No, I don't get your point. What I seem to get quite well is
that you are purposedly ignoring MY point(s).

Neither are you nor your state-funded 'scientific' mafia. And

are the poster child for circular 'reasoning'.

I never said that.
So again, disagreeing with your stupid enviro propganda that
comes straight out of your fucking americunt nazi state doesn't
make me a bible thumper.

What is obvious to me is that you are either unable to
understand what I'm saying, or ignoring it on purpose. I think
