    I wasn’t prepared for you to respond with that. I literally couldn’t see it coming. Lol

    Kinda reminds me of Al Gore.

    How Al Gore has made $330m with climate alarmism: Former VP made a fortune after losing to George W when he set up a green investment firm now worth $36BN that pays him $2m a month... as he warns about 'rain bombs' and 'boiling oceans'

    Nice segue to Al Gore.

    Trying to take the pressure off of defending Willie Soon?
    But anyway, in a free market Gore can make his money any legal way he wants, that doesn't change his message or the facts surrounding climate change.

    Meanwhile Soon collects money from the fossil fuel industry and the Koch Foundation and you're okay with that.

    In two breaths, you use the free market to defend why Gore can make money in relation to his message and Soon can’t. Care to explain why a Politician can profit off his message and a Scientist can’t? If you use “conflict of interest” as your response, I can easily apply that to Gore as well.

    “Four main environmental criticisms have been leveled at Gore: (1) he has an alleged conflict of interest from his role as both an investor in green-technology companies and as an advocate of taxpayer-funded green-technology subsidies,[49][50] (2) he allegedly makes erroneous scientific claims,[51][52] (3) he consumes excessive amounts of energy,[53]and (4) he allegedly refuses to debate others on the subject of global warming.[54]

    Why does it say you're quoting me when you're actually quoting CCS002? I'm so offended! ;)

    Al Gore's green investments prompt conflict of interest row | Al Gore | The Guardian

    The New York Times points out that one company in which Gore invested, Silver Spring Networks, has contracts with utilities that last week received a combined subsidy of $560m (£340m) from the US energy department. The payments, part of a total $3.4bn handed out by the federal government to encourage the distribution of environmentally-friendly power, are likely to be handsomely recouped by Gore and his associates.

    Al Gore's Green-Tinged Conflicts Of Interest

    But Gore is also chairman of a green investment firm called Generation Investment Management, which is a member of the Copenhagen Climate Council, an international collaboration of businesses and science bodies that promotes climate-change mitigation strategies and invests in companies that are environmentally friendly—including firms that produce renewable energy and low-carbon technology. So Gore uses one of his multimillion-dollar organizations—the Alliance for Climate Protection—to put pressure on government to promote the low-carbon lifestyle, which furnishes one of his other multimillion-dollar organizations—General Investment Management—with booming business.

    Au contraire, you were the one bitching about Gore making money while ignoring the fact that Soon does the same.

    Because you literally just said “Al Gore said we should refer to it as ‘extreme weather’”

    You referenced Al Gore about what he says we should call it and then posted a bunch of links. Way to backpedal lol…

    “Didn’t say he was right”

    So what were you saying? That he’s wrong?

    “He said “international organisations” had been influenced by “collectivism”, “radical feminism” and a “cruel . . . environmental agenda”.

    Milei, a self-described anarcho-capitalist and former television pundit, was elected on an anti-establishment platform in November amid the troubled South American economy’s worst crisis in two decades.”
