*links fox news*

That's link tax and copyright infringement right there Mikey! xD

Haha! (That's actually called the fallacy of a red herring) Although that is irrelevant to say that it's just because I used fox news. No seriously though, that deal would be a complete disaster. Throwing our country into around 93 trillion dollars debt within ten years time, plus it would be almost impossible to change out our whole infastructure.

For only being 15 you sure do sound a lot like your dad

Thank you!

It would be a red herring to claim your argument is false thereof, not to say you lack substantial evidence. Regardless, Mikey probably agrees with you, he's just memeing on you for linking to a source that only holds weight in echo chambers.

For example, I could respond to this post by saying that we're going into even more debt by reacting to global warming than trying to prevent it. Look, I even got proof! Except I don't because it's fucking Huffington Post.

Protip: It's OK to get news from FOX, hufffpost, or whatever - just double check it with sources that don't only argue from one side and link to those instead.

A red herring fallacy is when you throw something into the argument, can be similar or totally different just to throw off the whole argument onto a different track. And why I said that before about the debt skyrocketing is because to do what she wants, we would basically need to rebuild the United states, and some of her ideas are just plain rediculous. I'm not an environmentalist, but I have researched, and there are even environmentalists calling the whole bill rediculous. To cut all of our fossil fuels, kill our cows, get rid of airplanes, just why. That would be completely impossible.

why do i bother

No one is debating you on this. People are just loling at fox news. If you don't want to be lold at don't cite fox news. Instead of memeing at you like everyone else, I'm trying to help you so people don't make fun of you in the future.

Fallacies? Yes, if I were to say you're wrong because fox news sucks, that would be a red herring, specifically ad hominem. No one said that.

I think the animal part of green movement is kind of weird. A lot of the problems with climate change seems to have emerged after the industrial revolution. And well... ... before that people depended a lot on cattle. Like there got to have been way more farmers back then than nowadays. Sure it got to have been expensive with cattle back then I guess, and I guess people ate more vegetables back then. And because of more automation nowadays you can have more cattle. But still, people have always had cattle like cows so... makes little sense. I guess overconsumption of meat is bad (for the environment probably) and you could argue that people should eat more vegetables (which I think is good and would agree on). But being against cows and such in general makes less sense. The methane gas, which is what is bad about cows, is also kind of less bad (I've heard) than carbon dioxid (from cars and such), as the methane gas is worse than carbon dioxide, but "disappears" away faster, so less harm in the long run, but worse short term. It's probably worse with long transportation of meat, rather than "all those cows".

Yes, I do realize that now. I can ramble on about things especially politics, I don't post much on here 1 cause I said I wouldn't really, but this was too rediculous for me not to say anything about.

For now I guess I'm just not gonna argue, think whatever you want, there are better ways to spend time.

Don't be discouraged from posting your opinion, just link to a neutral source next time so we can click on it and post our opinion too rather than the source already telling us what we should think.

And Tobbeh, industrialization also increased the number of cows, and cow farts are much worse than car farts.

I've heard that cow farts are worse in the short term and that car gases are worse in the long term. Aka. cow farts are more harmful as a green house gas, but it decays faster, but cars are less extreme but decays slower. So the gases from the cars sort of stay there once they're out. And the cows are worse but for a shorter time.
