No, they are not. Basically what you're saying is people have no agency of their own and should have their speech restricted because, like children, they can't control themselves. Well, you can make that argument about
anything. Taking that to it's logical conclusion, feeding myself is dangerous because I could get fat and die of a heart attack, therefore my diet should be restricted by The State. I reject that idea wholeheartedly.

If you actually bought into the Climate Change™ (formerly Global Warming™) bullshit, you are indeed braindead.
There has never been a single piece of verifiable data that conclusively correlates the Earth's atmospheric CO2 levels with rising global temperatures. EVER.
The entire foundation of Climate Change™ rests on IPCC funded computer models. Datasets from weather balloons and satellites (actual data, not wildly inaccurate CMIP-5 predictions), show a huge divergence between reality and IPCC models. Additionally, the climate's sensitivity to carbon-dioxide is probably the most critical piece to the climate models. This is how the wildly inaccurate predictions were and are calibrated. GIGO. Garbage in garbage out. Adjust the sensitivity and the sky is the limit to your claims of Climate Change™.
Then we have historic atmospheric CO2 levels as measured by ice core samples:
According to this graph, CO2 levels in the Cambrian era used to be *7,000 ppm*; that's *TWENTY TIMES HIGHER* than today. (note how it was cooler during that same time) In fact, historically speaking, we're hovering at a record LOW for CO2. You'd think you climate cultists would be excited with all of the new plant food being introduced into the atmosphere. Oh wait, that doesn't fit the political narrative that's supposed to convince us all to live like peasants while Al Gore continues to wrack up $10,000 a month in electricity bills in one of his many beachside mansions...
