I’m glad to see that you have such a positive outlook. Maybe I should’ve said this in the original post, but I really think this guy is a narcissist. If not that, then highly egotistical.

I appreciate your concern for him, and I don’t want to sound like I’m blowing off your advice, but we have tried that with no success. I’ve offered to try and help with his technique/strategy, but he just blows me off and falls back into the same “I suck” mentality.
I guess I’m asking for more confrontational advice, because trying to change his outlook hasn’t worked. I think he really needs to hear how it affects others. Any thoughts on that question? Thanks again btw

Thank you for giving direct advice. I think it might help to ease him into the “complainers are annoying” point of view before hitting him with that statement

That’s a good POV, thank you for thinking about it that way. I’m not sure if my words will really have an impact on him, but there is only one way to find out. Thanks again

Reply to Random thought I had in science class by VanCro999
A big part of global warming (in this specific sense, keeping the earth at a hospitable temperature for millions of years) is caused by rain clouds, surprisingly enough. Not saying it couldn’t be done with conventional greenhouse gasses (carbon dioxide and methane), but I think it would be better to do it in a natural sense (water vapor). That’s an interesting thought though, and I encourage you to explore it more with your teacher.
