Socratic trolling doesn't make you some grand truth fighter; it's just a pose you think is clever because you can conveniently demand answers without stating any positions, skip reading any references, repeat the same question, and proclaim victory when people get annoyed at your duplicity.

Just to make it explicit for the audience: before he was claiming just to be an honest truth seeker looking for references to learn about the topic, and now he acknowledged he's just a troll. Which was obvious from the start, but worth pointing out.

"...demanding they stop using plastic straws by showing pictures of turtles."

You do realize the plastic waste issue is separate from climate change?

I'm afraid that, since you seem to be reasonably intelligent and informed, I have to assume your replies are not made in good faith.

> Every time I try to argue around the subject and ask questions about it I get downvoted to oblivion or get answers like yours.

That's because you aren't asking questions, you're making vague points with question marks at the end.

> If these people were actually worried about climate and all related subjects they would be working on providing actual things reasonable people could do to help as oppose to calling other names and demanding they stop using plastic straws by showing pictures of turtles.

One thing actual reasonable people can do is stop pretending climate change doesn't exist and isn't a problem.

then instead of asking questions you are not interested in the answers to, give evidence of your own position.

I'm not here to argue with you. I am just pointing out that people are linking you to references, and you clearly aren't even reading them before you post your follow-up "questions".

If you want to argue, argue with evidence - don't dress it up as a question.
