In the future people may understand that you can be a scientist or you can be an activist, but you can't really be a scientist-activist.

Scientivist?

I'll go to scientists for science, not fucking Breitbart.

Considering that the article wasn't about science but about the opinions of a scientist being misrepresented, I'm not sure what you're on about.

There wasnt any science in the article and it doesn't add any substance to climate science. It just repackaged the idea that earth warms and cools

"I'm going to ignore the evidence presented to me because the person presenting it disagrees with my political opinions."

No, I'm going to ignore this because it's not a peer reviewed scientific theory. Meteorologists and climatologists have been tinkering with temperature data for ages. You have to in order to correct for shade, heat islands, and many other factors that can produce misleading readings at weather stations. It's carefully calculated and reviewed by plenty in the field. Science doesn't have an agenda and I wish more people understood that.

Science doesn't have an agenda

You really think putting on a white lab coat immediately removes all personal bias from an individual human?

Here's an example of where you are completely wrong. John Cook, the "scientist" from skepticalscience.com who published the big "97% consensus" paper a few years ago, had his website hacked and the contents of it exposed to the public. What was revealed from his leaked emails is that before he even began his climate consensus study, he had already decided the end result of what it would find. He told his associates that the primary purpose of his study was to reinforce the media position that climate change is happening and is caused by humans.

That's right. Before this "scientist" ever performed his study on climate change consensus among other scientists, he had already decided what the conclusion of his study was going to be.

That doesn't sound very scientific or unbiased to me. It sounds like he's a lying sack of shit with no integrity who purposefully used his position as a "scientist" to fool naive individuals like yourself.

Pretty sure you need to RTFA before you say silly things like that.

When 'science' becomes a tool used to sell a political agenda it is no longer science, no matter how much you may screech and whine otherwise it will still be nothing more than a bunch of bullshit.

98% of scientists are tools being utilized for a political agenda? Try again.

You would defer your ability to read temperature directly from a thermometer to a scientist? You have very low expectations of yourself.

The only reason you would want a 'scientist' in this field is if you encounter data that doesn't fit neatly into your theory. In this case 'scientists' have to come up with all kinds of methods to massage a cooling trend to become a warming one, based off models that assume the warming caused by CO2 is double the actual observations.

God I wish this country was scientifically literate.

We are. Just not uncritically so.

So when we hear all of the certainty that, on the one hand, AGW is going to doom us, while we see, on the other hand, that temperatures stopped rising some time ago, we tend to start questioning what our "betters" are shovelling.

[–]Akillees89 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think there is much that can be done at this point about AGW but we don't have to dismiss overwhelming evidence just because we don't like a guy who collected the 97% consensus

Climate "science" may the world's second oldest profession.
