Me saying, “this conversation is over if you agree with either of the above” is not an example of politicizing anything, as you have alleged.

To repeat, the “either of the above” was my request that your confirm your extraordinary claim that either:

1. over 50% of ALL scientists don’t believe in climate change, or

2. over 50% of climate scientists specifically are lying in order to remain employed.

Again, you said “most scientists don’t believe the hoax.” Rather than answering, you changed to state that you have friends who can’t question the narrative. “Most of my friends think something” is not evidence. It’s anecdotal. Regardless, I agree with you that good science is about remaining open to questions.

So, let me ask you these questions:

1. What do you think about habitat loss and over-harvesting driven primarily by our global food system are the dominant threats to wildlife populations around the world?

2. What do you think about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch?

3. What do you think is causing species (plants, animals, insects) and wildlife degradation to the tune of 73% over the last 50 years?
