Nice try, Captain Dishonest.
No word games allowed.
Better luck next time.
An intellectually honest person would ask themselves why they have to constantly concede, rather than engage in discussion and answer questions.
If you could actually defend your positions, all of this ridiculous tap dancing wouldn't be necessary. That being said, I have no problem continually exposing you as the dishonest person you are.

You are repeating a question that I just answered twice. I couldn't have been any clearer or more straightforward, but you nonetheless do not have the cognitive wherewithal to understand the answer.
You are going to have to specify what part(s) of my answer you are failing to understand. Go back to my first response to your really stupid question.

"You are going to have to specify what part(s) of my answer you are failing to understand."
The part where you don't understand the difference between a response and an answer.

Hey, does anyone else remember what the environmental flavor of the month was before 'Global Warming'? I know the movement goes back much further, but it was mainstreamed by this particular cause. The Ozone layer. It was growing and if we didn't change our evil ways it would open up and kill us all. What ever happened to the Ozone layer? I know it's still there, but it must have been awareness that solved that problem.

As the Arctic melts, China and Russia struggle for control
"China has made the case that it's an Arctic state – this is at odds with Russia's conception of what an Arctic state is"

The Oil and Gas Industry Wants Us to Protect It From Climate Change
...
One year ago exactly, people around the world were watching in shock as image after horrifying image of Hurricane Harvey battering southeastern Texas flashed upon our screens and front pages. By the time the storm dissipated, more than two weeks after making landfall, it had killed more than 80 people and caused an estimated $125 billion in damage. The staggering amount of rain that Harvey dropped on the region—many areas saw more than 40 inches over four days—made it the wettest tropical cyclone on record in the United States.
But it could have been worse. Lining the 52-mile-long Houston Ship Channel are approximately 800 industrial facilities and more than 3,400 aboveground storage tanks, many filled with crude oil and toxic chemicals. As reporter Brantley Hargrove observed in a 2014 OnEarth article on Houston’s climate mitigation efforts, “Were these tanks to become unmoored and torn open by the force of an 18- to 20-foot surge (or by the heavy, fast-moving debris such a surge would likely carry with it), the resulting toxic tide would rush inland toward some of the most densely populated parts of the Houston metropolitan area.” The result would be an environmental disaster on par with the natural disaster that had precipitated it.
That scenario didn’t come to pass last summer (though the Houston Ship Channel did incur damage that required a major dredging operation lasting more than half a year). But oil- and chemical-industry executives realize how close they came to catastrophe. And they’re now taking big—and expensive—steps to protect themselves. Or, actually, asking us to protect them.
At the behest of these executives, the state of Texas is pursuing a $12 billion, mostly taxpayer-funded project to erect a 60-mile-long barrier made up of concrete seawalls, steel levees, and the like to keep rising waters from destroying all that’s to be found along the Gulf coastline....

Yes, the "Church of the Ozone Hole" (as Into the Night likes to call it) is always a good one to laugh at.
The background story for how the whole "depleting ozone layer" fear-mongering fable started involves DuPont and the fact that they lost their patent on R12 refrigerant. Thus, they wanted R12 refrigerant replaced with a new refrigerant that they had a patent on (such as R-134a). Thus, the fable was born. R12 was now supposedly "depleting the ozone layer" and had to be replaced with other (patented) refrigerants that wouldn't do so.
In reality, any "ozone holes" that form at the poles during winter have nothing to do with CFCs and everything to do with the lack of sunlight. That's why any story that you see about "ozone holes" will always focus on whatever pole happens to be in the winter season at the time. Once the sunlight returns again, the ozone hole goes away again.
No sunlight = formation of ozone hole
Sunlight = bye bye ozone hole
People who adhere to (or are otherwise sucked into) this religion are quite literally freaking out about a phenomenon that naturally occurs at each respective pole each winter due to a lack of sunlight. Nothing more, nothing less.
Nowadays, that religion has largely lost its luster. The “new/cool” thing to mindlessly fear-monger over is any so-called “unprecedented” or "non-normal" weather event. Any such event is called “climate change” (or “climate crisis” if “climate change” isn’t scary enough for you). This “crisis” is all the fault of the evil redneck Trump-voting MAGA hillbillies out in the boonies who make use of gas powered equipment and/or have cows that fart every now and then. This “crisis” can be solved by outlawing the internal combustion engine, switching fuel type from gasoline to electricity/battery, limiting/banning the consumption of red meat, and taxing the ever loving SHIT out of you.
Are you ready to “solve” “climate crisis”?! The time to take “climate action” is NOW, before it's too late… if it isn’t already too late…

Very interesting. I suspect there are similar driving forces behind a recent bullshit regulation change concerning refrigerants, involving some of my air conditioning units I bought a couple of years ago. Now they're essentially obsolete and can't be matched with the ones I have.Yes, the "Church of the Ozone Hole" (as Into the Night likes to call it) is always a good one to laugh at.

The entire movement has always been bullshit and always will be. After the Soviet Union collapsed, many of the homeless socialists transitioned into the environmental movement, understanding that they could use the platform to incrementally accomplish their socialist agenda for America. Trump's guy Lee Zeldin is changing all that, he's doing a great job dismantling the pyramid schemes and overreaching regulations.
