Is me dino a bad person?
As fast as my eyes beheld the headline of the article, I enjoyed an uncontrolled (spontaneous) very loud belly laugh that lasted about 20 seconds due to secondary waves of hilarity sweeping in and splashing ashore .
If that lawyer knew what we Gulchers knew about why "global warming" may have been changed to "climate change," he may have opted to seal himself into a big freezer instead of making an ash of himself. :

    "Make them believe it's the best thing to do"
    That would be nice but it's not going to happen.

    "what you are saying is that hidden agendas are all over "scientific discovery", the those agendas need to be stripped off those discovering"
    Humans are imperfect. Trying to understand things scientifically, though, is all we have. And in general science delivers the goods.

    Thomas Kuhn explains it in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, although you have to put up with a lot of repetition. Scientists initially reject findings inconsistent with current models.

    There's also the bias toward original work, as opposed to verifying others' findings. There's a bias of studies with finding consistent with the null hypothesis (i.e. what you'd expect if their hypothesis were not true) not being published as much, but publishing things that might be random sampling noise. There's the whole issue of p-hacking. It's not as simple as stripping off the political agendas.

    "the AGW crowd"
    By the very name is this politics. If we're just going by political reactions, then we can watch how the same groups that accept the science of global warming reject the scientific consensus on GMOs, homeopathy, and organic foods. What those interest groups wish were true does not matter.

    Simple. Make them believe it's the best thing to do. Start a religion (The State Church of Safety, for example), make it a rite of sacrifice, then endorse it with the Media.

    Whatever you cook, cook it in a long container. The smell of Long Pig won't just go away. I suggest using dutch ovens? Got a good laugh though. Better than last week's "People come from around the world to attend Flat Earth conference".

    "Liberalism is a mental disorder."
    Don't know if Michael Savage coined that, but that's who me dino first heard say it around 2013 or so.

    Sorry I recalled the wrong word which referred to the connotation of a concept and not the whether it was on purpose or not.
    However the article was about someone who for reasons about climate, burned himself to death. The work that he did and his sexual orientation and your guess as to that orientation has no relationship to his death.

    It's funny but it's also true. How do we get more people to follow his example?

    Not "intentional," that the proper spelling.
    Jumped to that conclusion with my only motive to shorten the title.
    Still, I'd bet $20 that he is gay while not saying that he is for a fact. .
    Odds seem to favor my bet. Could be wrong.

    We got 2-3” in the People’s Republic of Taxichusetts. I thought that was a lot. Maybe there is a basis for human cloud seeding.

    ...and remember:
    Einstein, Tesla, Edison, J.P.Morgan, J.D. Rockefeller, etc. all came from the era of lead-based paint...notorious for causing mental retardation.

    Might be bad, if your change of 'gay rights lawyer' to 'gay lawyer' was intensional. There is no evidence in the article that he was in fact gay.
