I was watching Frontier Alaska the other day. Otto was talking about the changes in the weather and how they would have to adjust to survive. I guess he was making it up though.
You say the same thing every time. I'll bet you're loads of fun at parties.
We'll that clinches it.
Good ol Otto lives 10 minutes from a city. Is 10 minutes outside of Wichita the frontier too?
Anytime anyone says; "the science is settled" you know the argument is lost, by them. Science doesn't work that way, very little science is "settled".
Science does work that way and settled just means the likelihood of a position contrary to what has been established is small because the weight of evidence greatly supports the status quo.
97% of 33% is 32. A whopping grand total of 33% of ALL scientists whose studies involve the climate in one or another capacity responded. Doing the math, something I know you have particular problems with, it works out to 32% of scientists involved in climate studies agree that humans are the primary driver of climate change.Yes, because scientists who do studies that have nothing to do with climate change should be included as well.
Isn't it a concern though, that opposition to the thought that we are altering the state of our planet for the worse is delaying what might just prove to be essential action?

The math is undeniable. No matter how many times you do the calculation, the answer will always be the same. However, to make the claim "the science is settled" when it comes to AGW is a dangerous claim indeed. Science is rarely settled. We are always learning new things that challenge what we thought we knew. Recent experiments (that have been repeated) at the Hadron supercollider are demonstrating that our understanding of physics and the models we use might very well be wrong. Which means everything we think we know about physics may need to be rethought. That would also include every single global warming model.
It is concerning...if you buy into the hysteria. Misguided urgency is often the enemy of progress.Isn't it a concern though, that opposition to the thought that we are altering the state of our planet for the worse is delaying what might just prove to be essential action?
