I recall hearing about some big hoopla where Michael Mann (that's the guy's name right?) was basing the integral part of his global warming conclusion on proprietary data that others don't have...

Given Shill Nye the Fake Science Guy's recent revelations, a gerbil is more of a scientist than him.

I remember when Tucker asked Bill Nye to quantify his claims and Nye shorted out.

I can't find a way around this: 2+2 must necessarily =4, and if 2+2 didn't =4 it would necessarily not be 2+2.

You don't, but that could be a different idea. What about if you said that tomorrow you wake up and gravity pushes you away from mass instead of pulls towards. Would it still be gravity then?

The idea I'm getting at is that for two and two to be five, it might necessarily mean that they aren't two. Perhaps my analogy is no good.

Perhaps two and two can never equal five because then they would not be two and two anymore. It's like if you wake up tomorrow and all frogs are squirrels. But how can that be? A frog that is a...

I do think it is very reasonable to say that in some significant ways, the big bang as thought of today is not correct. I think most (all) physicists would agree with that too.

Hey Dame Bonga, what are some alternative theories to the big bang? Torus sounds neat.

I'm interested by this topic but not sure how much value I can add.

Ways in which 2+2 could =5???:

Maybe it equals five right now, we just don't have the tools to observe that. Maybe to a...

Yeah I'm not saying the right is pro-science on this issue. I think they're more pro-science in certain ways on the issue though.



True. I added it because science depends on semantics. I...

BTW please don't get the impression that I'm saying the left is anti-science while the right is not. The right has its own golden calves it can't do without. It isn't that either side is...

I don't mean to imply that. I mean only to say that only an opinion garnered from the scientific process is a scientific opinion. The data on global warming doesn't tell us what *should* be done...

Economics is a big one, but it's also a tough one to convince skeptics on. Regardless, economists fall markedly more towards the right than their academic colleagues for reasons of their economics. ...

The idea that something needs to be done about it (so to speak) does exist before evidence of climate change, but not in a scientific sense. This is more about ideologies that have been around for a...

The hot cognition portion is very good.

A point I would like to make is that the presenter does the very thing he attributes to others yet doesn't realize it. That thing is presenting the...

People have a way of letting their politics and other beliefs seep into their scientific rigor. Like how in the video he says "97% of publishing scientists who study it say climate change global...

Thanks for the response. If you find that you have questions regarding any of the elements mentioned here, feel free to ask.

I kinda like it too.

How could I ignore somebody so fantastically intelligent?

Explain why you think that.

Oh don't worry, Trump is making his world better whether he likes it or not.

I assume "geoscientists" means phds in their field. If it doesn't, I'm an economist shortly after I get my bachelors.

Figured you would do it for me. I really don't have a dog in this fight. If anything the dog is that AGW is real.

Still, geoscientists are geoscientists regardless of where they're from. It can...
