[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Science teachers also should not be talking about what they “believe in.” Climate change isn’t like God or Santa, where faith and belief matter. The teacher could say “I don’t think there is enough evidence of climate change to be certain it is happening.” Then you can talk about evidence. Belief has no role in science.[/quote] Absolutely correct. And perhaps he was even more nuanced, for example questioning to what degree any apparent climate changes were shown to be related to human activity, and in any case, whether it was clear that any such changes were definitionally catastrophic.[/quote] THIS THIS THIS THIS!! It's not about beliefs, it's about evidence.[/quote] If you think this you have missed the climate change point. It is more of a religious thing, and more about punishing successful countries and making them feel guilty, lowering their quality of life to that of others. And the popular people who espouse this fervor can't get on their own jets fast enough to get around the world to lavish conferences to talk, eat, and drink over it.[/quote] I'm sorry, it appears you have been listening to conservative lies way way too much. I'd say you watch too much Fox and Limbaugh, but this is more a WSJ/NRO argument. Anyway, stop bending over for the billionaires that run the GOP and want to screw you. Here's the truth: The only reason there is a climate change denial effort is that wealthy oil and gas billionaires (e.g. the Koches) fund media and fake scientists to tell lies like the one you repeated above. And here's the great part (not great for you): they're screwing YOU. The Koches are lying to you so you won't put up a stink while they rape the planet for you and your kids. Meanwhile - they get the cash. And you.. get nothing. "Useful fool" describes the GOP base for a reason.[/quote]
