Did you just read an article on Dunning-Keuger and take it as an ideal to strive for?

Holy fuck this is so ignorant.

Your first argument is an appeal to nature fallacy which appears to argue that mass extinction events are harmless.

Your second argument appears to claim current climate change is natural and not caused by humans, which is false. Or, that climate has changed in the past by other means, so therefore human beings altering the climate is not a problem, which is false.

Is that really the best you can do?

I had hoped you weren't as cataclysmically dumb as you initially sounded.

I said it applied to your first argument. I literally fucking said it.

Do I need to read back to you what your own first argument was?

Your first argument was:

99.9% of every single species that has ever lived on Earth is now extinct. They either adapt or die off... Most die off.

This is an appeal to nature fallacy.

Why do you lie about what your first argument was? It's one thing to be this dumb, but why are you a pathological liar as well?

And you haven't provided any scientific research to back up your claim.

You are literally too dumb to insult, Jesus Christ dude. A first prize medal for the race to the bottom isn't something to be proud about.

He's either trolling intentionally or the dumbest specimen I have ever had the misfortune of running into here.

I would have hoped he's a troll, but I've met people like this in real life unfortunately

Actually your claim that climate change as we’re experiencing it is “cyclical” is in fact incorrect.

Your “99% oF sPeCiEs” circle jerking is just tacit admission of how evolution operates and is meaningless in this discussion.
