Well, to be more exact, the damage started some time ago, and not just with the impacts of storms. Desertification, floods, and species disappearing has been happening for some time, but while monitored by the science oriented, has PROVEN problems, that’s been debunked falsely by profit, or “faith” oriented folks with a lot more money to spend on PR.
The science has been clear for almost thirty years now, and gets stronger every single day, with every single measurement. But still on Fox News you get four times as many deniers as you do actual scientists. This is the biggest problem facing humanity, and we need to get the deniers out of positions of authority in any way possible.
Don’t get your panties in a twist; It’ll be okay. When the planet has been made inhospitable to life (at the rate we’re going (it shouldn’t be too long), all the deniers will be dead, and there will be no one to hear them anyway. Because there will then be NO life on the earth
A monitor/moderator/website admin can easily identify the IP address(es) of posters thus quickly identifying sock puppets. Also, a monitor can see whether or not I’m posting from my workplace or my home residence and whenever I’m out of the country.While IP addresses need not be static, in this age of constant 24/7 broadband connectivity, it is more than likely that a poster’s IP address will be constant, if not always from a restricted range assigned to their ISP.
So. What to make of the rhetorical query recently made? Veiled threat? A wagging finger? Has this alleged established sock puppet engaged with its master (i.e. creating a straw-man argument for instance) or simply adopted a persona, with comments directed to all, that is 100% satirical and is obviously a literary device? The latter of course. And if the open secret is revealed, what then? Would the other regulars see it as a loss to the forum? I certainly would.
Now, the newer sock puppet. What purpose has he? Simply to create straw-man arguments? That’s a rather poor show.

You’re right, it is getting uglier and uglier.
