[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Conservatives study science, technology, engineering, medicine, etc.  That's why we make all the money.  We don't need your kind of schools, thank you.[/quote]

Then why do conservatives eschew climate change, science and evolution?[/quote]

[b]I believe in climate change.  It's been going on for millions of years. I just don't believe I'm causing it[/b].[/quote]

It doesn't really matter what you believe though. Human impact on global climate is a scientific fact, like gravity. -NP[/quote]

Nope.  Human impact on global climate change is a [u]theory[/u]. A strongly supported theory, but a theory, nonetheless.

From the IPCC report for Policymakers (emphasis added):

Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have increased since the pre-industrial era, driven
largely by economic and population growth, and are now higher than ever. This has led to atmospheric
concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide that are unprecedented in
at least the last 800,000 years. Their effects, together with those of other anthropogenic drivers,
have been detected throughout the climate system and are [u][b]extremely likely[/u] to have been
the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century[/b]. {1.2, 1.3.1}

This should be relatively easy to verify.  Global warm scientists should be able to provide before and after temperature data from the mid-20th century to show the rise in temperature.  If the temperature has been rising long before the mid-20th century, long before the carbon dioxide concentration, then we may know the temperature rise is due to factors other than anthropogenic drivers.

Global warm scientists are asking for millions - billions - of dollars for research.  Let them provide the data.  The Y2K fear cost more than 300 BILLION dollars worldwide.  Turned out to be totally bogus.  The fear created more than 300 billion dollar windfall to the whiners and fear mongers.  [/quote]
