High fuel prices decrease fuel consumption for poor people, rich people don't care they drive the most inefficient vehicles.

Never mind the private jets and yachts but they are important they need those thing. Or cargo ships being exempt from fuel tax, take away the free trade agreements and tax exemptions and shipping stuff from China in not profitable anymore. "Just 15 of the world's biggest ships may now emit as much pollution as all the world's 760m cars." Whats the real problem? Cars or ships? Also ships are exempt from low sulfur fuel regulation. There are 90,000 cargo ships in the world.

What if, after the debate, Ken Ham had walked to the parking lot of his museum and discovered that the driver-side front fender of his car was damaged, with debris from his front driver-side headlight strewn on the ground? He would no doubt conclude that someone hit his car while he was parked there. But not so fast, Mr. Ham. Let's apply your own standards of evidence: You don't know. You weren't there.
Did the damage to the fender happen billions of years ago with no human living today being a witness? Never mind that with cctv everywhere there would most likely be direct evidence.
And global warming is not tethered to facts but beliefs and faith.

Two unclean animals and seven clean animals. You are trying to misinform. And if you want to go full nut case you could even take dinosaurs and lizards etc on the ARK in the form of eggs thereby saving a shit-ton of space. Eggs don't usually eat each other. And gopher-wood is not made of gophers.

Bad example. Most places require liability insurance in case you hurt someone or damage something that doesn't belong to you. If you own your car there is no requirement to insure your own vehicle against damages you cause. Perhaps the problem is people are being force to buy insurance if they want credit for that super fancy phone just like the bank demands full coverage insurance if you borrow their money to buy a car.
