Science knowledge has no effect on Republican beliefs

Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone

So in a way Trump is vanguarding a freedom movement from the tyranny of knowledge?

I was referencing one of my favorite rapper's names. KRS-ONE. (yes, I'm old school)

playing the appeal to authority card i see

Yes. Do I need to say it louder and harder? You don't need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing, but you do need to be one to have a valid opinion on climate science. It is a subject matter beyond the ken of laity. Thus the need for expertise. Were that not the case, fuckninnys like Dump and Palin would be rocket scientists, right?

It did strike me as lyrical. So I worked in some Dylan.

Good grief you do ask some strange questions, of course it does.

I thought scientists were all about the strange questions? Why does it take centuries for CO2 to have an effect on Ozone?

Isn't an "honours degree" what Universities give celebrities for being famous?

This is a fact, I was reading comments on another site by a woman who is into the "unschooling" movement. It is truly Avery scary movement that is growing in number.

'I love the under educated'.

So why does Al Gore or Bill Nye get to pontificate the way they do?

Oh dear, what does CO2 have to do with ozone?

I was going to ask you about copyright issues. Personally, one of my faves is "You're an idiot babe. It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe'.

You're the scientist.

[cancel2 2022]

You're the scientist.

Nothing, depletion of the ozone layer and radiative climate forcing from CO2 are entirely separate phenomena.

Why do they? Because they can have an opinion and some people value it. After all he has a masters in science! They are exactly in my position. I don't want you to accept my opinion, neither do they. They and I think everyone should err on the side of the vast majority of experts in the field. This isn't hard to understand. I'm surprised I'm getting such resistance.
