The Case Against Global-Warming Skepticism (1 Viewer)

pantagrapher said:
Funny that people are eager to believe statements with very little scientific backing— like "sunspots cause global warming"—yet they're hesitant to believe the reams of data and peer reviewed studies that have shown the effect of human activity on warming.

if these scientists paycheck didnt rely on the paid for outcome it might have some validity. None of the reams of baloney amount to anything proven or valid. Even if it were valid what would we do to change the weather? Some where some one is laughing about how gullible you all are. Watch me make these idiots believe we can change the weather by taxing every breath they take.

there's really nowhere to go with an opinion like this

Yup, this is why I form all of my opinions based on what homeless people bellowing on street corners. They are just straight up spreading science for the love of the game. How much more trustworthy can you get?

Or you could try thinking on you own instead of believing politicians can change the weather by taxing you more. I am shocked at the number of numbskulls they can fool.

I have little hope that we can come together to implement useful policies regarding global warming, given that we are unable to come together on something as simple as banning fracking.

Well, IF we can implement policies regarding global warming, chances are fracking will no longer take place...

Doesn't believe in science, yet spends his time talking about how other people are idiots.

Gotta love it.

Hope so, but we've known for years that fracking causes earthquakes, yet we've kept at it.  Forgive me if I don't hold out much hope that our legislators will do the right thing.

Correlation ratio between "skeptics" and Trump supporters?

Define skeptic.  I am skeptical of:

worst-case assumptions = scientific fact = fear-mongering. 

Certainly CO2 and other greenhouse gases are contributing to the current upward trend over the last century.  But it could be 20 percent of the cause or it could be 90 percent of the cause.   Is that a skeptic?

No, it's being objective.

I think what should be clear to everyone is that there are tremendous benefits from increasing the use of renewable energy.  With our increased oil production we have decimated the world price of oil and a $50 a barrel decrease in the price of oil has saved Americans $350 billion a year.

Are you implying that you, in fact, are a Trump supporter?

You got suckered by the y2k meme and now you buy this baloney too. Science said we were going into an ice age in the 70s and that we would run out of food by now. You believe in Santa too? You definitely dont do any thinking on your own. Fracking is a real problem we can fix by banning it. No need to increase taxes but thats too simple for you. You would rather believe government complete control over your life is a good solution.

You heard it here first folks, if you're dumb enough to believe in facts and science then you probably believe in Santa Claus too.

See, this is why us crazy liberals are always pushing for education funding.

It's sad, really. I mean look at that paragraph I quoted in this post. I wrote more coherent paragraphs in 4th grade.

At least you admit you are a crazy liberal and you fell for the coming ice age and food shortages that science predicted in the 70s. 

Let me guess you also believe that man came from apes? More BS science and facts? If we came from apes how come we still have apes? Are they just not fully developed yet?

Humans and apes came from the same common ancestor.  We split from the relative genus Pan several million years ago and it took a couple of million years to happen.  

 
O/U 3.5 posts before Pinkham claims germ theory is "liberal BS" and that disease is actually caused by an imbalance of the humours.

I don't know, the most important senator in the whole government in charge of environmental policy found a snowball and brought it to the senate floor.

But alarmists are the problem, ok :lmao:

And the leading Presidentilsl can date blamed the hurricane on Global Warming in spite of the fact that we are in a lull as far as incidences of hurricanes,,,

Well since their paycheck doesn't rely on the outcome I guess it has "some validity".

Trump is the leading candidate according to his supporters. And he doesn't believe in global warming this week.

No, it most certainly does not. Apparently you don't know how grants work. I posted a good article in this thread discussing just that. Would do you good to find it.

Not really. I dont believe the hocus pocus and I dont believe anything they do will change global warming/climate change/ ice age or whatever they are calling it now.

I have a couple friends who are climate scientists. They have about 100 grand in grad school debt and spend their days scouring some of the ####tiest places on earth for climate data. And they make about 50 grand a year doing it. Perhaps you know wealthy climate scientists and maybe you could introduce them to my friends. Please

cute but doesnt prove that global warming/climate change/ice age is something the government can fix or that any of it exists. Scientists get it wrong quite often despite fancy models and arithmetic designed to spread fear and promote a global tax scheme.

I didn't intend for it to prove anything other than you have your head in the sand. Or somewhere else.

This is pathetic.   The petition calls anyone with a BS in science a "scientist".

I bet they are all smart enough to see that its a hoax. Why did it go from ice age in the 70s to global warming in 2000 to now climate change? Answer its a tax and control scheme not proven science. Many have signed with PHDs
