No that's absurd. Anthropogenic climate change will only cause the average temperature to increase by a few degrees where as the sun expanding will create numbers that are 100x higher. You must be insane if you think they are comparable and that the means of civilization cannot function if the average temperature is only a few degrees higher.

I'm always surprised about how little you know about how much climate affects civilization.

"Only a few degrees."
Ffs.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time. --Frank Wilhoit
Sure, if we polluted the air and water, humans could still adapt and deal with it in some way. Doesn't mean it's a good idea or that a lot of people won't suffer along the way. If we can see the possible negative outcomes of our actions, why should we not strive to avoid those actions or lessen the impact? It's like saying it's 'pure speculation' that we would get hurt by not wearing a seatbelt and driving too fast.
Yeah, but @PC2 doesn't know that. No such thing as predictions in their world.

Looks like the GOP is following the Proud Boys lead.... being more overt in their adoration for things Nazi.

Proud Boys are more secular though where as that guy is a Christian supremacist. Being passionate about converting Jews into Christians is anti-semitic on some level but guys like that would probably rather be the only white guy in a Christian country rather than be the only Christian in a white country where practicing religion is banned.
Should we be surprised that people who say they'd vote for Hitler, are also shilling for the Proud Boys?

The majority of people are religious so that is to be expected. In this case it looks like religion is just a background feature and it's not central to the organization. A Proud Boy is more about being a macho chauvinist and there's no real underlying ideology like there is with a religious group.
Well I hate political parties and identity groups such as ethno-nationalists. They're not based on an idea or a principle.No wonder a bunch of ethno nationalists took over your political party.
Liar! I like peace and not war and genocide. I'm the exact opposite of Hitler.
You and I agree on all the same political/governance ideas so there's point in arguing.
