No, it's not an argument, ever.....Especially so when the "authorities" have been caught fudging and fabricating data, and refuse to live by the same standards that they want to force upon the rest of the world.Appeal to authority is perfectly valid in certain circumstances, and you're ridiculous if you don't think so. You wouldn't even be able to have a conversation with a climate scientist. Again, I would legitimately pay money to watch you try.
ln the old days, this was referred to as a religious cult.
