For those that missed that context, St. ELO~N said, during the circus fire on Xitter on Monday with trump-anguish , that climate change would involve... headaches. And that's bad but not really that bad. And that deregulating nuclear power plants would help with the imminent additional carbon burden that the LLM treat printers (such as his own) will demand while further burning the planet down, adding more headaches. this-is-fine

I just noticed the old :DebatePervert: emoji seems to be gone, but I was going to use it while saying I nonetheless had critical support this one time for debatebro-l because St. ELO~N does a lot of self inflicted damage to his public image each time he tries to say something smart without handlers polishing it up first.

Bonus treat-printer treat of the bearer of the very smart finger nail:

    This reminds me of the time I heard someone with an engineering degree say "If climate change is man made, how did the ice age end? smuglord"

      I read somewhere that people with engineering degrees have a significantly higher chance of being creationists. galaxy-brain

        Compared to the general population, probably not. But if creationists argue “well here’s this scientist saying creationism is true,” it’s almost always an engineer they’re talking about.

          I should have clarified: significantly higher chance of being creationists compared to other otherwise-respected high academia fields.
