Climate Change Skeptics Eat Crow

SAT- I have no problem with you referencing blogs. there is a lot of interesting and timely information that is accessible only through blogs. we wouldnt know what papers were available if blog owners and their commenters didnt bring them to our attention.

that said, which blogs do you trust more?

Reputable scientists at reputable institutions. Organizations devoted to science rather than to politics. Funding from nonpartisan sources rather than from the oil and gas industry. Language that indicates that the blogger understands the scientific method. Sources that link to data from NASA and NOAA.
 
The science of AGW has not been "done by consensus". A statement on AGW laid out the current consensus on climate science.

This topic, like just about every topic, has been politicized by the right, with funding from rich donors who have a financial interest in confusing the public.

When every so-called "solution" to AGW is political in nature, it's not the skeptics who are politicizing the issue.

Yes, it is still the deniers who politicize the issue. The solutions are "political" in that they require us to work together.
 
I believe what he's (correctly) pointing out is that 1. Regardless of whether or not the current consensus to AGW satisfies your standard of "Proof," there is a great deal of it nonetheless, and that 2. There is not a scientific body on the planet that maintains a dissenting opinion.

It's kinda the same conversation we had a few weeks ago, though he goes at it differently than I do.

Just bumping over this good post. :eusa_angel:
Sure it's a good post, to idiots who think science is done by consensus.

Did you know there was a consensus that the world is flat? Oh no!

There was also a consensus that the sun revolves around the Earth. Oh no!

But, because science has grown, the scientific community KNOWS what consensus will do to science (flat wrong assumptions that prevent the expansion of knowledge), so science is NOT DONE BY CONSENSUS.

Anyone who thinks it is is against knowledge.

Be proud.

No, there was no scientific consensus that the world was flat.

Observers had long noted that the evidence indicated that the world was not flat.

The consensus statement is a summary of the present state of knowledge. They are not "doing science", they are writing about science.

Science is not done by vote/consensus. On it's face, that's political.

You really like demonstrating how little you know.

Your a cute little retard, though.

Then discuss the political aspect of the science in politics.

But, it's pretty fucking stupid to make policy on something that doesn't exist.

No surprise that you would want that, though.

The statement is not "doing science". "Doing science" would involve taking and analyzing data. The consensus statement is a summary of knowledge.

No, the solutions don't give a damn about people working together. The AGW cultists want their solutions mandated by law, with penalties for those who don't play along with the fantasy.

Your assertion is absolutely ridiculous.

Yes, that's how a representative democracy works. We elect people who enact laws.

The solutions aren't just "political." They are all huge revenue grabs.

Isn't it funny how every problem the libs want to solve means paying $trillions more to the federal government?

Oh, you mean like Obama's plan to have the EPA enact strict regulations on CO2 emissions, despite the opposition of the people's elected representatives?

AGW has never been about "saving the planet". It's nothing but a scheme for wealth redistribution on a world-wide scale, and greater government control over individual lives.

Your belief that government bureaucrats are "nonpartisan" is a hoot!

All those organizations devoted to science are actually the political lobbying arms for government employees.

If there's one thing your post makes clear is that you don't understand the scientific method. Consensus isn't science. It's politics. One scientist can prove every other scientist in his field wrong if he has the evidence.

Absolutely it is DOING SCIENCE. Deciding the veracity of theories and hypotheses on consensus is an attempt to do exactly that, you freak.

Now you've changed your complaint. A minute ago you were upset about laws.

If this is within Obama's authority, I'm for it.

Of course you are. Because you don't actually give a shit what the people want. You think you know what's best for them.

No, it's making a public statement to combat the vast amount of misinformation out there. The statement was based on the science that's already been done.

Here are some examples of consensus statements. None of these statements has stopped research on these issues.

Is Obama the first President to use Executive Orders?
