That's a completely different kettle of fish.

What you said was:

I care that people realize they need to do more than to send money to offset programs if they want to have a sustainable future.


The IPBES report does not quantify what individuals should do, or in fact, explain in any way, shape or form what people need to do to have a sustainable future. It explains and quantifies the problems human society's impact is causing, but it offers no suggestion as to how an average person can do more than sending money to offset programs.

Why do you always devolve into this silliness Tuco? It's not a 'mistake' to engage people in discussion on a discussion forum - that's what we're all here for. When people actually substantively engage your posts, you play this condescending beat as if no one's worthy of your time or effort. Presumably we are worthy of your time and effort, or you wouldn't be here making posts... no? Am I wrong?

So, all I asked from you was to be more specific - it seems you don't like anything you write even remotely challenged, even when done so perfectly civilly, wholly within the spirit of a discussion where information is exchanged.
