No, you are completely out of line.

The coal industry needs to be shut down. The IPCC first convened three decades ago and yet batshit crazy denialist fuckers in Queensland are still proposing new coal mines to gift their mates billions of dollars in government subsidies and money laundering.

'orderly transition' is a complete lie. They've had 30 years of doing nothing.

Sorry for the strong language but your heavy handed moderation reads like shilling for the fossil fuel industry.

Empty comments saying nothing more than "yay side" or "boo side" are unsubstantive regardless of how good and right their cause might be. On HN, we're trying to optimize for intellectual curiosity, which is definitely not served when people repeat talking points.

It's not possible to have a site both for curiosity and for battle. In battle, repetition is critical: you have to hammer the same points over and over until you win. That affects curiosity the way that a tank battalion affects a park. Since we can't have both, we have to pick one; the one we pick here is curiosity. This implies nothing about any specific battle. It's simply the type of forum this is.

There is no intellectual curiosity in climate change denial. Don't editorialise.
