No, it's not. There is no evidence to support the claim that humans are affecting the climate one way or the other. Most of the "green" pseudo-science is based on cherry-picked stats that are "weighted" to yield results that mesh with the underlying narrative. The icecaps gained ice; 20 years ago the same liberal f**ktards who thought all trees would be gone by now also assured us that the sea levels would rise and "change the coastline as we know it". Didn't happen. Remember that hole in the ozone layer that was supposed to make it impossible for humans to go outside during the day...yeah...it's no surprise that you're buying into this guy's b.s. since you've been persuaded to believe in science.
In case you missed it: no worthwhile science will require any amount of "belief" because the scientific evidence yields undeniable proof via experiments that support the hypothesis and yield repeatable results every time.
Somehow you conflate other issues in which actions were taken to mitigate the circumstance (ie. banning of CFCs to prevent the reduction of ozone layer) to mean that the science is invalid. While you might dismiss the results of ozone degradation, the fact is that UV levels have increased over time.

Also, global climate change isn't simply just that the entire world gets warmer in one go, the weather patterns change so the extremes also get pushed harder. It isn't exactly a linear system either, there are subsystems and climes which can slow down some of the rate of change but as it gets overwhelmed the regulation then collapses.
Why is it that people who have a different opinion than you are labeled with epithets and profanity? Why can't you be civil, even if you disagree with them?
'Persuaded to believe in science...' Wow. Hard to argue with that one...it seems that you've taken the idea that if science isn't exactly right then it can never be right, and if that science isn't right then all science is bunk. Am I right?
He stated that he did not drive a viper, own a viper or even like the viper...and engineers who work on F1 cars typically get assigned to work on a specific part of the car and provide their professional opinion on that aspect of the car. The team who designs the engine and powertrain would not be the ones handling suspension - although they likely consult with each other quite frequently during the development process. Engineers do not give the driver advice on how to drive to win races.
He also stated that he was asked by management to provide an unalloyed opinion, which he did. Obviously management didn't like the answer he brought forth. Both facts need to be taken into account. He is/was smart enough to be asked, and management did reject his answer. Take that for whatever that's worth.
HINT: The reason its sales aren't hitting the quota is not because it lacks a hybrid / electric option.
It's not selling due to terrible marketing and virtually no advertising beyond those magazine articles and a few obscure youtube videos. I didn't find out about the Viper from anything SRT did. I found out about it when a news website I check used a picture of it in one of their articles about...ironically....fuel in-efficient vehicles and obama's dumb new CAFE standards. Short of that totally random decision by them to use a pic of the viper and not some other gas-guzzling sports car, I would probably not have know about the 2013 Viper because there are no ads for it, anywhere, ever.
Like I said, let's not talk about changing for the sake of change when it's quite obvious what the real issue is.
Definitely there have been mistakes with regards to the marketing aspect, but there has also been questions of whether the Gen V went far enough to gain sales numbers. One of the aspects which many people have spoken up about is the lack of an automatic/DCT option. Is that a marketing mistake? There are some tough questions on where the Viper goes from here to prevent the further erosion of sales.
If your claim is entirely correct, shouldn't sales be on the increase now that people are finding out about the existence of the car?
Trolling or not, he is a *********...and I don't think you know what the word pretentious means.
Others have already pointed out that your vocabulary might need some remediation, but I've got a pretty clear idea of who is what around here.
