Thread: Any doubts about Climate Change?

Lets rewind things a bit so we can see how lilpetey trips over his feeble brain. This all started with this quote;

To which I responded with this;

The corporations that built or own these dams need to foot the bill to get ride of them to restore habit. One river in the Olympic peninsula the Elwha has already had a dam removed and it has had an enormous impact on the entire ecosystem. There needs to be lots more of this for sure. The industrial revolution in America caused massive ecological damage and that needs to be restored. These links below show just how amazing this has been in not only restoring salmon runs but to the beaches and other marine life; Elwha River Restoration - Olympic National Park (U.S. National Park Service) World?s Largest Dam Removal Unleashes U.S. River After Century of Electric Production

The nit wit then chimed in with this idiotic response;

Clearly no one is talking about tearing down one of the largest power producing dams in the world as this pin head suggested so I replied with this;

Again he persists without naming any specific dams or providing any evidence to back his absurd claims;

At this point it had descended to the ridiculous. The man continues to push an opinion completely devoid of any facts. My level headed response;

I am a member of the Sierra club and they advocate removing the lower four Snake river dams. Not any "Mega" dams like Grand Coulee like you tried to claim. At this point they do not advocate removing any of the Columbia river dams. So you are clearly lying or just completely misinformed about what you are talking about.

This is his so called response. Three separate times I asked for him to back up his claims with facts. He has none so what did he do? He switched the issue;

WTF? Realizing he has painted himself into a corner he shifts the topic;

From there I tried to continue but like happens so many times with this utter buffoon he just evades the original issue.

The man just doesn't understand and he never will. He is not capable of intelligent discussion or debate. He just does not have the mental capacity.
