Added an update. 'Debs' thinks that beautiful cloud formations at sunset are "filthy chemicals". It's absurd, but it's really sad that somebody could be so mentally damaged that they cannot witness nature's beauty and appreciate it for what it is, instead attributing it to filthy man-made chemicals deliberately sprayed into the atmosphere in order to make us all sick and to kill plants and animals. THAT is serious mental illness. Well done chemtrail conspiracy theorists. You've fucked up peoples' heads for sure.

In my “about” post on my substack I wrote,

“ Indeed, when one is taking a contrary to the narrative position, one is at a disadvantage based on the inescapable reality that every other possible perspective is loaded into the skeptics position, thus your view, no matter how rational, is part of the everything else “denier” camp. You deny GHGs have any possible warming. You deny viruses are real. You are a Moon landing denier, and a “conspiracy theorist”. You are lumped with “them” and often effectively marginalized.

This is why I do not address things like chem-trails, or weather modifications, or the position that there is no greenhouse effect, or the possible US cause of 911, or the “viruses are not real” position. They may, or may not be supportable, but they are in a losing position, (a minority even within the skeptics camp) and often a distracting position from the main issues affecting policy and destroying nations and lives. So, as I have not committed the time and effort required to have a position on those rare views, I leave them be.”

Yet I support Jamie’s post here to directly address this, as I think these positions may well be advanced by those wishing to discredit the very rational skepticism of horrific government policies.
