< yesterday -- tomorrow >

I have a suggestion for public debate: Don’t accept words that are too vague to have a meaning. If somebody says “global warming” they may believe or disbelieve, but you have an inkling what they believe or disbelieve in. If somebody uses a meaningless word, they may be trying to confuse you or to attach emotional value to it, or they may have a point only on the top of the head. Reject arguments with meaningless terms like “capitalism” or “Trump doctrine”.
