I provided evidence - you dismissed it out of hand. Where is YOUR proof
that FAO is wrong.


Sorry, you provided me with photographs that proved logging existed,
and that certain parts of the planet were being deforested, but NO
EVIDENCE of a global problem.



Conclusion.


Troll and heading for the killfile.


Sorry again chump, i'm after the evidence.
My questioning annoys you as it exposes the hoax you've fallen for.
Wake up.

Fallacy: Appeal to Ridicule

Also Known as: Appeal to Mockery, The Horse Laugh.

Description of Appeal to Ridicule
The Appeal to Ridicule is a fallacy in which ridicule or mockery is
substituted for evidence in an "argument." This line of "reasoning" has the
following form:


1. X, which is some form of ridicule is presented (typically directed at the
claim).
2. Therefore claim C is false.

This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because mocking a claim does not show
that it is false. This is especially clear in the following example: "1+1=2!
That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!"
