How is your question related to global warming ?

EVERYTHING causes global warming... and global warming causes everything.

=============================================================================

Global Warming Explains EVERYTHING!

Global Warming makes for shorter winters, except for when it makes for longer winters.

Global Warming means less snow, except for when Global Warming means more snow.

And Global Warming causes droughts in California and floods in Texas and Oklahoma and generally makes wet places wetter and dry places dryer, except
when it makes wet places drier and dry places wetter, except when none of that changes at all, and then Global Warming explains that too!

And Global Warming causes more hurricanes at the same time as it causes less hurricanes.

Global Warming causes more rain but less water... and less rain but more water?

Global Warming causes more water vapour in the atmosphere with more snow and rain, at the same time it causes less water vapour in the atmosphere,
with less snow and rain?

Global Warming decreases the spread of malaria at the same time as it increases the spread of malaria.

Global Warming makes San Francisco foggier... Global Warming makes San Francisco less foggy.

Global Warming causes duller autumn leaves... Global Warming causes shinier autumn leaves.

Global Warming makes for less salty seas... Global Warming makes for saltier seas.

Global Warming causes the polar ice caps to melt... Global Warming also causes the polar ice caps to freeze.

Global Warming makes the Earth hotter, unless the Earth isn't getting hotter... in which case, Global Warming can explain that too.

What's the problem here? This sounds like the perfect scientific theory. It can explain literally everything including self contradictory things.

This means it's absolutely perfect, doesn't it?

Well no, not according to Karl Popper and the philosophers of science and within the philosophy of science there's something called the demarcation
problem... how do you differentiate science from pseudo-science?

The left won't LET you, and brands you a denierrrrrrr(whining).

Does that matter?

The ridiculousness of demanding paper straws.

WHY were PLASTIC straws outlawed?

Because, maybe... they were made of PLASTIC?

What's wrong with this picture?

How about the fact that that is not how a paper straw comes to you in a
restaurant.

I never said it didn't.

But just like always, you don't want to tell the whole story.
