Neil DeGrasse Tyson on morality of deniers

Neil deGrasse Tyson: Those ?who cherry pick science simply don?t understand how? it works

When asked specifically about climate change, Tyson said that the deniers have the same “tools of science” as everyone else, they merely misuse them. “You are equipped and empowered with this cosmic perspective, achieved by the methods and tools of science, applied to the universe,” he said.

The question is, “are you going to be a good shepherd, or a bad shepherd? Are you going to use your wisdom to protect civilization, or will you go at it in a shortsighted enough way to either destroy it, or be complicit in its destruction? If you can’t bring your scientific knowledge to bear on those kinds of decisions, then why even waste your time?”

he went to Columbia, University of Texas, Harvard, etc...

Are Democrats going to use their wisdom to increase partisan tensions and decrease the likelihood of constructive action? If you can't bring your understanding of human nature to bear on those kinds of decisions, then why waste your time?

Oh the irony. That's all that the AGW croud does is cherry pick the data.

"constructive action"? The ball has been in the repub's court for the last.... oh..... FIVE YEARS!!!

 

[CrusaderFrank]

I hope Neil leads the Warmer presentation to the APS finally setting forth the "Science" behind AGW

 

[Dot Com]

all the anti-AGW *cough* "experts" on this board wouldn't last 15 seconds debating Neil

It has been hyperpoliticized for more than five years. If Democrats cared more about the environment than about having a political issue to grandstand on they would take a much different approach.

You mean tools like the scientific method?
Can you point to the experimental trials conducted in determining that CO2 is driving global temperature? And no, I do not want the computer models that have been wrong with every projection.

the funniest thing to see here is this asshat calling those who keep level about this science as misusing the tools available. Meanwhile, the AGW crowd has done NOTHING but misuse scientific tools to draw their conclusions.

Well, how else are all those socialist climatologists to maintain their conspiracy to redistribute all the world's wealth?

What's he gonna do, bring Mann's tree ring to the debate?

Not only would I last 5 minutes, I'd destroy him.

How fucked are the Warmers?

Very!

They managed to piss off the APS by faking the organization Seal of Approval on their phony "Settled Science Consensus" nonsense.

The Warmers will not present any case to the APS. They cannot. They have no real science, they have no case, they will squawk and squeal, but at the end of the day they simply have no evidence so rather than embarrass themselves they will be a no-show.

"Professor Richard Lindzen, formerly Alfred P Sloan Professor of Meteorology at Massachussetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a highly regarded physicist who once described climate change alarmism on The Larry King Show as "mainly just like little kids locking themselves in dark closets to see how much they can scare each other and themselves."

John Christy, Professor of Atmospheric Science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, who has written: "I'm sure the majority (but not all) of my IPCC colleagues cringe when I say this, but I see neither the developing catastrophe nor the smoking gun proving that human activity is to blame for most of the warming we see."

Judith Curry, Chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech, a former Warmist (and still a self-described "luke warmer") who has infuriated many of her more extremist colleagues by defending skeptics and by testifying to the US House Subcommittee on the Environment that the uncertainties in forecasting climate science are much greater than the alarmists will admit."

Engineering is my forte, i.e. the real world, where economic considerations come into play, not bugs and bunny calculations and wishful thinking.

And English is mine, and what Neil said makes perfect sense, grammatically and in word usage. I'm not a philosopher of science, but what he said makes sense philosophically, too.

Who cares about the eloquence, when what he is pushing is more government control, more interference in people's lives, and a lowering of living standards in order to fight AGW. You can wrap shit in a diamond casing, and its still shit.

"He also said that he wouldn’t debate anti-scientific people — as Bill Nye famously did last month — because “I don’t have the time or the energy or the interest in doing so. As an educator, I’d rather just get people thinking straight in the first place, so I don’t have to then debate them later on.”"

How anti scientific can one be to say he won't debate. So, he has some doubts about his science that he knows he won't win. LOL................way to go Neil!!!!!hahahahahaahaha, he gets no respect from me with that attitude.
