Science out the window when it comes to political issues like "gun control" and Global Warming!

Anyone notice the MONSTER thread on Gobal Warming? It's actually too huge to read on Google! What is clear that Global Warming like "gun control" is a political agenda where lies abound and ethical science goes out the window. We find paid minions of the "desired" view infesting the Usenet and using clever wording and lies to further their agenda. The Global warming thing is a great example. They say global warming is real (it is!) Then try to make the case that some politicians (Bush) have tried to deny global warming. (He has in the past) Then comes the huge "leap of faith" where CO2 is accused by reason of a "greenhouse effect" to be the "cause" of global warming. Yeah, like that leap of faith that germs cause disease. That leap of faith that evolution is real. Then comes "proof" in the form of CO2 level charts that match global ocean temperatures. (This "causality" is a lie.) OK, you're an idiot. Happy? Bottom line we all must accept global warming as due to our SUVs and power plants or these guys will call us nasty names! Brrrrr! I'm shaking in my boots! This is all identical to the "gun control" debate where firearm ownership is tied by the propagandists to higher crime rates. It's nothing like that. Too bad all scientific studies including the ones mandated by Congress and done by the CDC found NO such connections. You are lying. So what am I getting at here? These issues are NOT what I'm talking about. I"m not trying to forward a political agenda here, save ONE: To take the POLITICS out of Science! Idiocy piled higher and deeper. Science, it seems has developed a certain amount of well-deserved credibility in the public perception. So it isn't surprising that those with a political agenda would try to USE that public credibility to further their political agendas. What I'm saying here is that we scientists, need to stand up and speak out. No, not take sides in the debate lies. And certainly not to join all the noise of name-calling and "proofs by assertion" that characterize political "debates". No! We need to squawk loud and often about this SUBVERSION of the integrity of Science by political agendas. Yes, we (we scientists) are. You denialists are trying to subvert science. When lies are all over the media being held up as "science" someone needs to point it out and when prizes are given for bogus research they need to be taken back and the schools embarrassed! In short all this MISUSE of OUR science for political purpose needs to stop and it's only going to stop if WE start speaking out instead of going along with those pretending there is a "scientific" debate where there actually is none! "A dwindling group ... a small minority which is seeking to deliberately confuse the public on the causes of climate change. They are often misrepresenting the science, when the reality is that the evidence is getting stronger every day" -- Royal Society |

Benji appears to live in a fantacy world, where nothing but the Sun can cause a warming effect here on Earth. In a fantacy Solar System, where he sees signs of Global Warming happening on the other planets, completelly a figment of his imaginations. Now, I´m not really interested what other bits of fantacy he has to offer. Einar |

(He has in the past) Then comes the huge "leap of faith" where CO2 is accused by reason of a "greenhouse effect" to be the "cause" of global warming. That's not a leap of faith, that's the scientific consensus resulting from decades of detailed, careful climate modeling by real climate scientists, before the whole thing became politicized and unscientific loons like yourself started trying to get involved. If you stick to serious scientific journals, like Science (which I've read on a weekly basis since college), it's clear that there has never been any serious controversy about whether the current warming is anthropogenic, nor the extent to which CO2 and other gasses are to blame (and yes, there are others, but that's the main one). There has been only the ordinary haggling over the details. This is much like another case where unscientific loons with a political axe to grind are trying to interfere with the scientific process: evolution. Biologists all know evolution is real, just as climatologists all know that anthropogenic global warming is real. But religious fundies try to spread uncertainty and doubt by digging up "experts" who support their views, as long as you don't look too closely at their arguments or credentials; and by blowing ordinary scientific discourse out of proportion to make the case that the scientists haven't any idea what's going on. This is by now very much old hat to anybody who follows such things; these are the standard tricks which people use to obstruct the dissemination of scientific understanding. It's often effective, too -- look how many people still ascribe to creationism (or some modern label thereof such as "intelligent design"), and periodically get schoolboards to interfere with the teaching of evolution, one of the central pillars of biology. It's a bit sad that the U.S. seems particularly susceptible to such shenanigans; most other countries are far more rational in this respect. I attribute this to the combination of poor science education, and an abnormally high level of religious fervor. Frankly, we'd be much better off with more science and less religion, since science leads to truth, while religion leads to dogma (often, *conflicting* dogma, which leads to wars and other such unpleasantness) and poor decisions. Science, it seems has developed a certain amount of well-deserved credibility in the public perception. But not enough, apparently, since politicians and religious leaders can still spread uncertainty and doubt regarding firm scientific conclusions -- just as you're doing now. No!

Well stated. I agree with the other poster. We need scientists like yourself to get into the fray. I've also noticed that it is both unproductive and unnecessary to try to dispute or refute any of the assertions made by these AGW whackos. Their thinking is too vague. Attempts to dispute it only confuse the audience and leave them with the impression that, maybe, there is something to this hoax. Actually, serious efforts to dispute AGW science are rarely made here. Generally it's quotes from the same few bought and paid for liars, or amateur science word salads.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - LOL, "word salads". I could not think of a more apt description. |

Give us directly here the scientific poll of either climate scientists or scientists in general. Or admit that, like usual, you are talking out of your ass, making unsupported statements and are delusional in even this fact in which you believe. At some point you twits just may find out that it can be incredibly dangerous to believe your own lies. There are plenty of scientists and many more that do not believe in this non-scientifically derived conclusion. They just do not go around stating bald face lies like this in promotion of their propaganda. KDeatherage |
