It’s the old “four dog defense.”

  1. My dog doesn’t bite
  2. My dog bites, but it didn’t bite you
  3. My dog bit you, but it didn’t hurt you
  4. My dog bit you, and hurt you, but it wasn’t my fault


We’re coming into dog three. “Yes, CO₂ causes the planet to warm, but that’s a good thing! Scientists have been saying for a century now that without CO₂ and other ‘greenhouse gases’ the planet would be frozen solid.”

Dog four will be, “Yes, CO₂ caused the planet to warm, but we didn’t make anyone burn fossil fuels. We were simply satisfying a demand!”
