You can't evaluate science like it is American Idol. Everyone, except scientists, knew the Earth was the center of the solar system/universe. According to a 2009 Harris poll, 26 percent of Americans believe in astrology; that's more people than believe in witches (23 percent), but less than believe in UFOs (32 percent), Creationism (40 percent) and ghosts (42 percent).Huh?!!
Here the thing....your response displays that you view deniers as some slim minority. But the opposite is true. It is the AGW crowd that cant make the case to the public which is exceedingly clear. Everybody walking knows about "the science" but they also know that you cant predict the future climate with computer models.....so they're not going to get all angst like those who tend to the hysterical.
Voters dont care about climate change s0n. You can philosophize about ideology until the cows come home but that dynamic has held steady for over 20 years. My side only cares about who is winning!!!!!!![]()
If you think numbers matter consider this, there are about 1 billion Christians and the same number of Muslims. Whatever the truth, at least 1 billion people have it wrong.
Its only about the numbers.
Climate change is nothing more than a hobby for internet message boards. Unfortunately for climate crusaders, the science has never transcended anywhere beyond its own field. Every single bomb lobbed by alarmists over the last 20 years has ended up being a dud where the public is concerned. Not sure why these people don't consider going to a Plan B?
All I care about is that climate treaties all over the world are a laughingstock. Renewable energy continues to be an incredibly fringe source of electricity. Congress doesn't give a shit about climate change ( see earlier reference to the public not caring

So I can indeed evaluate science like The American Idol because well...…..I can!

One thing progressives never get...….whether it is gun control, climate change or whatever. Taking bows in front of billboards isn't winning. Its bowing.
