next time we visit I am going to steer a conversation to the subject and let them make the case for it like they always do and once they do, they will spout how fossil fuels and fossil based engines, mostly cars do most of the damage. once they do I will tell them that I do not believe that they are personally convinced of it themselves, nor do they live by their convictions concerning global warming.
when they ask why I will simply say the it seems more than ironic and a little hypocritical that one of them manages a Papa Johns pizza and the other one works at Geico. after all the money they make is directly tied in with cars on the road.
neither of those companies make money if there are no cars on the road.

Besides, just because their addicted to eating doesn't mean they're not convinced
Plus if all petro fueled cars were band, everybody would buy electric cars and they'd still would be in bussiness
Your plan could backfire, and no more good eats. [:p]

"Why push their buttons."
That's not something I would have expected from you.

Do as I say, not as I do[:D]

I wonder how those electric cars are going to get electricity.
As for pushing people's button about "global warming" or "organic" Everything traveled to the "consumers" and how many of those trucks were electric that dropped off that crap at Whole Foods? All those "smart phones" were made by Chinamen and we all know how environmentally conscious they are.
Just fools fooling themselves. Global EMP can't happen soon enough.
The next time I see a fat church member at Golden Corral, I am going to confront them and remind them that gluttony is a sin and that instead of stuffing their face at the chocolate wonderfall, they should be down at the salvation army washing the feet of homeless people.
Especially with family.

One of my friends has a tesla, I always ask him how his fancy coal powered car is doing... He doesn't get it...
(It is a really cool vehicle though)
I just ask if 100% of climate change is due to humans. They say no.
Then I ask, how much less? Is it 99%, or 9%, or .00009%? And they can never say.
So then I ask, if you don't know that, how do you know we need to do anything? Or how much? Or when to stop?
I don't try to push their buttons.

So......you push their buttons? Lol
I always start by saying "I know very little about all this. Maybe you can help." And then begin as above.
I don't try. But if simple, reasonable questions result in them pushing their own, why...

That's not a simple question.
Let me rephrase it: if I have a pile of burning charcoal and add another piece of charcoal, how much is the temperature going to go up?
Obviously, we know the temp is going to increase because a whole bag of charcoal produces a hell of a lot more heat than three or 4 pieces.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone has actually worked out the potential BTUs in a piece of charcoal, but this certainly isn't a "simple, reasonable" question that the average guy on the street is going to know.
The world is full of people who are convinced what they believe in is true, and you cannot convince them it is not. Let them live in their own world and love them for who they are. If you don't love them I wouldn't care what they believe. [8D]
Hey, that's how we got into this mess. [:(!]

I think what Rocky was trying to say, if you're going to run around saying "the sky is falling". you should know what you're talking about. And why it is falling, and what percentage of what is making the sky fall. Instead of running around like Chicken Little and everybody that believed him and start advocating the same thing without hard evidence proving your claims.
Because you're going to run into somebody like Rocky that has more intelligence than an imbecile that will want to see the proof of the claims, so that they can jump on the band wagon too without spreading unsubstantiated rumors. Or tell him to shut up until they're ready to put up

So if I keep piling on bags of charcoal the temperature of the fire will keep going up...
You just sit there and think about what you said for a minute or ten. That is the most massive (attempt at) logic fail I have seen in quite a while.
Also some movies say using magic has bad consequences to the user. More fictional BS.
I have no idea why people always fear Something?
