I did not take a position against that statement.

>>>The statement was whether he had already made things worse in a couple of weeks. <<<

I merely noted that there were opposing views, which is a simple fact. My position is that "the jury is out," meaning the future is unknown.

Me: "I see opposing views on that, the jury is still out."

Your arguments have been that there are no opposing views. It doesn't appear you even know what you've been arguing but the record is here, just review it for yourself.

>>>"I don't give a rats ass about opposing views of large parts of the population "<<<

I doubt anyone is surprised or even cares, I certainly don't. I take that for granted.

>> Just look at how widespread science denial is in the USA. Why

No. Shit.

Look at the nutjob liberals going nuts over GMO, the attacks on Monsanto, without which the cost of feeding out population would likely be double or worse. Of about half of the population of the US which believes in alien spacecraft out floating around the planet, 69% are Democrats according to HuffPo. Yet, there isn't a shred of science to support that claim. Even though science has proved decades ago that if you feed and nurture any animal it will become dependent on you rather than able to survive on its own. We know that. Some animals raised in captivity cannot survive if later put into the wild. Yet, democrats argue that putting humans on extended programs of free shit doesn't make them unable to take care of themselves.

The widespread science denial is mostly amongst your own tribe.
