If you don't have any useful rebuttal, why post.
While I do agree the temp swings are drastic over centuries and even longer, the scientific evidence from ancient times is that, factual evidence. The issue is pollution and other man made changes and how they affect the earth, not just temps. If you cant a negative situation here then you dont really know how things work.... I think most people who have posted are on board with that. Select few don't seem to be though, everything is magically okay. |
Honestly, the problem seems to be the selling of Global Warming to people who dont seem to get that this is a Huge fucking problem. You can sit there and say oh its not that big of a deal Its one degree, or its 5 degrees. Science is not good at selling the fact that 1-5 DEGREES IS A BIG FUCKING DEAL. The Rate it is changing is a big deal. Science can quantify and create models around the changes, but the selling of it, is not easy.
They can make predictions and tell the politicians the sky is falling we need to correct this issue, but the politicians tend to say, well how am i supposed to sell this to the public that we need to change our ways. This is a human problem, it has to do with every aspect of all of our lives. from the way we eat, the way we drive, the products we use on a daily basis.
Science comes off as being bullys sometimes because it deals in hard facts. They dont make up data, consensus conclusions are peer reviewed, and they go where the data follows. Where things get messed up is the interpretation of what science is telling us by non science people. Al Gore was trying to sell this idea and got blasted by right wing. He was trying to get people talking about it and making the hard sell.
Regardless of the interpretation, a 97% consensus is UNHEARD OF in any science conclusion and should be listened to. UNHEARD OF.
This Graphic expresses my point exactly:
Science shouldnt give a flying fuck what the public thinks. Because they are wrong. I dont ask the cashier at cub medical advice, i ask a doctor.
