Whatever your thoughts on climate change, this is BS & would cost all of us.

I refuted that about 10 times in previous climate change threads.

Why aren't those thousands explaining the almost 19 year Global Warming standstill? Answer, there is no money, grants and prestigious awards in it.

You know that Google can be used for more than just searching for crackpot theories, right?  

But you didn't refute what I said.

You're right. I was trying to teach you how to refute yourself.  How silly of me.

@Davec433 has only posted two cooks - chicken drums and grilled chicken breasties and steaks.  97% of scientists agree he is just here to post cartoons and for the science.

You damn teachers trying to learn us to catch fish.

What the fvck does it matter, the earth has been colder and the earth has been warmer.  Either we fvck it up and it gets better or we fvck it up and we all die.  Fact: the earth has been heating and cooling for millions of years and will continue to do so whether we are here or not.

You're President on isis...

 And we didn’t go after oil wells … actually hit any oil wells that ISIS controls because we didn’t want to do environmental damage and we didn’t want to destroy that infrastructure…

So, now we’re hitting oil in trucks, right? And maybe you get to the point where you say we have to hit oil wells. So those are the kind of tough decisions you have to make.

The fucktard is worried about the environment... Not people being beheaded. 

White privileged, rich, old, bought out..... Vote hillary "cankles" clinton. Does a great leader. Lmao

You're right.  Based on your post, I obviously should have assumed you were here for a nice exchange of ideas.  Perhaps a cup of tea?

Usually people try to protect the food supply and property.  But what the f*ck, it's normal!  Yeah who gives a sh!t.  Earth is like the honey badger...it don't give a FVCK.  I like the way you think.

nolaegghead

Eventually all those pesky humans are gonna sh!t in the communal swimming pool enough that it starts killing them.  Earth don't care and it's too inconvenient for some of them to sh!t outside the pool.  Fffffuuuccck it!  YEAH, RIGHT?

Nearly all Trump supporters are unregistered sex offenders, according to some statistics.

Nearly all fact deniers are also conspiracy theorists according to some theories.  And sex offenders in others.  I looked this up on the interwebs.  Must be true.

As some others have mentioned, science should have nothing to do with politics. The two areas become confused in ways that research is beginning to understand. For example, research shows that people who are high in authoritarianism (ie., are right-wing) are more likely to seek information that confirms their existing beliefs and less likely to pursue balanced information (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1467-9221.2005.00416.x/abstract). Science requires an open mind, because inconvenient findings can lead to a complete change in personal beliefs, understanding, and behaviours.

For those who posted that the science has not PROVEN global warming, or that they don’t believe the science, or that the field of climate research has been corrupted by a grand conspiracy, I think you might enjoy spending a bit of time learning about what science really is, and its purpose. I don’t mean that in a patronizing way. It's just that it is impossible to have an informed opinion about scientific findings if you don’t know anything about science. 

I have an open mind.  However, I see no evidence that global warming means/leads to the doomsday scenarios the faithful claim to predict.
And ignoring data is a problem both sides of this issue have committed.

Two questions:
1) what are the doomsday scenarios you reference?
2) what would evidence connecting global warming to them look like, in your view?  

Incidentally, describing one side of this debate as "the faithful" is contradictory with having an open mind.  It conveys bias.

And insulting people who have a different opinion is not contradictory of an open mind?  Go ahead John and talk about bias.  We can all learn from your example.

I'll be the first to admit that I lost my patience with idiots a long time ago. I have always had a strong bias towards facts and science.

Sometimes, "insults"
are merely misidentified definitions.



Obviously, that applies to no one here.

Bump for "the crazies"!!!!  YEEEEEHAAWWWW!!!

This thread is now dead @nolaegghead

Once someone dares to play the 'jerk store' card everyone backs off with a collective gasp.  It's a well known internet taboo.

If only it had been racism or something less offensive.  Even pictures of cats can't save this thread now.
