Science knowledge has no effect on Republican beliefs

Yes but you tend to cherry pick the data that supports your view. Now I to have significant scientific credentials with a BA in human biology, I also earned 90 credit hours in graduate studies in human biology before switching gears to earn a Masters in EH&S management while I was working as a research assistant in materials engineering at a major university and though by no means an expert in climate nor have I ever pretended to be but the data I've seen overwhelmingly supports anthropogenic climate change. That's not to say I don't have a healthy degree of skepticism in regards to the scope, extent and projections of the problem but the evidence supporting ACG far out weighs the evidence to the contrary.

That is not something I take lightly and I do understand some of the political and economic points of adopting policies with far reaching economic consequences when there's a hell of a lot more to be learned and it's not clearly understood if proposed solutions would would be effective.

But to use politics to undermine the science is silly and self serving.

If we grant climate change deniers their position, we still cannot ignore the effects that fossil fuels have on the environment w/respect to pollution.

Why does one need an 'honours' degree in order to read scientific studies?

Excuse me how many times has some dumb arsehole claimed that you have to be a climatologist to understand? That prat Micawber said exactly that in this thread.

Without re reading the first pages, who was it that started the 'what are your scientific qualifications?' discussion?

Most scientists believe that there is an anthropogenic element to warming but many think it is not very significant.

So there IS a consensus that man is responsible for global warming.

As we've been saying all along.

Hey Einstein, the Milagro post references a climate science naysayer whose paper did not provide any of his own data, just used modeling and data of others. Oops.:palm:

Now now now!

IHA and the other JPP Righties feel they don't have to follow the rules they lay down for everyone else.

There is a consensus that there is an anthropogenic element to warming. I have said that about a million times yet only now you've caught on!! There isn't a consensus for CAGW, now is that clear or will you ask the same thing next time?

There is no empirical evidence for the positive feedbacks needed to scare the bewildered, outside of climate models, something else that I've been saying for a long time. Most scientists know this only too well but choose to keep quiet as without the FUD factor* they won't get government and others to fund their research.

I haven't failed to notice that you are not willing to reveal your scientific credentials, well we all know why!

Yeah, because only those who are so very insecure feel the need to repeatedly boast about their educational accomplishments on some anonymous board.

I am sure you'd be telling the world and his wife if you had any scientific hinterland. Micawber was the one saying that you can't have an opinion unless you're a climatologist. Holy shit, I wish I had a pound for every time some clown on here has said that!!

I'm not an insecure little crybaby who needs constant validation of my intellect from anonymous posters on some message board.

Because it's not about the truth. Republicans weigh profits against everything. See the new anti environment, pro coal EOs aimed at bolstering an obsolete energy source.

Say nothing of toxic. They pretend to not believe in the unquestionable truths. They just parrot talking points about 'unproven' blah blah blah, and cash the lobbyists' checks.

Liberal hot air is not an energy source, gasbag.
