Yes, that person disagrees with PBS and Sesame street so they are "neocons"... Haven't you figured out Zappa yet?
How about that?
ANOTHER Damo lie...

yes... he stated:
Most of those quotes from "scientists" are old. Most are five to ten years old, and are based on the third IPCC assessment from 2001.. It's all right there in your wiki link. Dude, the science has evolved since 2001. Your link is wildly outdated. Try again. Please try to come up with something current, and from a well established and credible scientific institution.
The above is incorrect.... the majority were written in the past five years. Yes, some were older. But tell me... are you going to discard everything the fear mongers have written that is older than five years? If not, then you are a tad hypocritical...
Also... what you just stated that 'many are pre-2001'... is a bit disingenuous... the vast majority are AFTER 2001.
You proclaiming them 'right wing opinion pieces' is nothing more than your blatant attempt to disregard them. See your pathetic attempts on source #32 as a prime example of this. (not to mention your comment on source 10 asking if I had 'anything newer'... despite there being over 30 sources that were newer right there)
This is the problem with you brain dead fear mongering lemmings... you actually believe your masters when they tell you the debate is over and you parrot that sentiment over and over and over again, despite any evidence to the contrary.
OMG!
You KNOW that if I tried to pass off something from Media Matters as fact, it wouldn't matter WHO it referenced as "source material", you'd be on me for daring to use such a biased site.

you are so full of shit....
1) I am not passing the report off as FACT.... I am stating it is a report that directly refutes the fear mongers 'scientific fact'
2) nice attempt to divert from the utter ass whipping you just received.
And now that you're getting schooled, the vulgarity, as usual, starts flying.
YOU stated that an opinion piece can count as fact IF it references some previously published paper and that is total garbage!
YOU claim that my pointing out many of your "references" are just opinion pieces doesn't matter.
Be honest for once...can you do that?

Why does government funding discredit scientific research. Most scientific research if publicly funded via our State University System. What is wrong with that?http://www.heartland.org/custom/semod_policybot/pdf/22835.pdf
yeah... again.... not a GOVERNMENT funded report, so lets just discard it....
When there is specific political interest in the result and all funding depends on their result the funding of science can be questioned when it comes from that political entity. Like a study paid for by cigarette companies seeking specific results...Why does government funding discredit scientific research. Most scientific research if publicly funded via our State University System. What is wrong with that?

You're concept of "theory" at least a "scientific theory" is not accurate. You are using "theory" in it's colloqual useage and not in its proper scientific context. A scientific theory is one hell of a lot more then something that is a step above tenuous. In fact quite the opposite is true.Not really, Theory in science is a level a bit above "tenuous" and "debate far from over". And I obviously did give it some consideration, I even called it a good hypothesis that needs some solid testing before we started issuing draconian sanctions on our own economy. The reality is, there are good reasons other than this to make some changes to how we regularly do things. If you argued on those reasons you'd likely get some cooperation rather than people constantly fighting it.

"A theory is more like a scientific law than a hypothesis. A theory is an explanation of a set of related observations or events based upon proven hypotheses and verified multiple times by detached groups of researchers. One scientist cannot create a theory; he can only create a hypothesis."

But to your point, even if anthropogenic climate change was demonstrated to the point where the most skeptical accept it as fact, making any drastic changes to our economy would be controversial as hell as it's value would have to be demonstrated scientifically. That's an even tougher task then determining the factual basis of anthropogenic climate change. However, that's a completely differant discussion then the agreed upon, in general, conclusion by the scientific community supporting the factual basis of anthropogenic climate change.
To use an analogy, demonstrating the factual basis of the disease cancer is not the same as knowing the cure for cancer. This too is true about anthropogenic climate change. We may know that human consumption of fossil fuels are causing it but we don't know what an acceptable solution to the problem is.

I hear you but I have not seen the evidence to conclude that there is that level of systemic corruption in climate research. In fact most of those claims have come from right wing political critics and most, if not all of those have been refuted.Mott, is it good science to have those who have already concluded and make their living off of the same conclusions "review" papers? Is it good science to have people who actually co-author the paper to "review" the papers? Is it good science to say that work is peer-reviewed when even the scientist who published the work says that the data cannot be verified as he cannot recreate the data?
None of that is good science and you know it isn't.
While my work is in applied science (being an engineer), even I can fully understand that none of those things are good scientific practice.

That's what I thought. You don't know what you're talking about. Well listen to someone who has actually done scientific research and been through the peer reveiw process. Ok, science isn't politics. It don't work that way. If you submit research that has holes in it. Gaps of kowledge, your facts and evidence don't support your conclusion or if your corrupt enough to commit fraud and publish the work, your peers and the scientific community will be all over those mistakes and falsehoold like Repbulicans on a tax cut. There will be no cult of personality to support you. They will swarm over those error like flies on shit. Don't beleive that? Look at all the great scientific hoaxes ever commited. Look at who uncovered those hoaxes. SCIENTIST!! That's what makes science self correcting and that's why science works! So lay the fraud line of shit on some other lay person who will buy it. I've been doing this far to long.Fucvk off, loser. Sick of your shit. I've posted the link in this thread. You've ignored it. I don't have to publish science to understand science.
Where's your climate work? Show us your peer reviewed work, dickhead. You have no right to an opinion by your own rules. You have no basis to comment on anything I might post because you are not an expert.
