Kansas.....ya done it again

Let the war on science continue! Because nothing makes for a better civilization than tossing out science in favor or religious or conspiracy-based ideology!

Just ask, um, I dunno: the Muslims?

I wonder what country these people live in. I wonder who in their right mind can live in the U.S. and witness what's been going on for the last few years and not realize that something is seriously, seriously wrong. I wonder how many more all-time records for severe/bizarre weather we have to break before these people get a clue.

Oh, wait: they never will.

Yesterday here it was 55 degrees outside. Right now with the wind chill it is -3. In the span of 24 hours. This has been going on all winter.

But yeah, let's put on the blindfold of denial and ride this suicide train into the ground! Wee!

Because that's what Jesus would have wanted.

Playing devil's advocate: climate change is a very different debate to science v. fairy tales with regards to the creation of the universe. It's something we don't entirely understand and teaching kids the value of critical thinking could be a positive.

[John Galt]

yeah that's really not the same at all indy. in fact, while we have witnessed evolution take place with the creation of many new species (mainly plants but also things like the london underground, which has its very own species of mosquito) and we can describe the mechanism for this so it's not like correlation == causation there... with climate change, it's very different. actually i would say those who believe in anthropocentric climate change should be lumped with those who believe in creationism, considering the amount of faith in nonsense you have to take

indy the reason for 55 then -3 windchill that has to do with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_oscillation. for a long long time we were in positive artic oscillation on average, and now we're (back) to negative. now you're saying that's climate change, caused by humans? lol

kansas can teach creationism if they want, i don't care, i dont live there. here in minnesota i would be against it, just as i am against teaching children that it is a fact that global warming is caused by humans because i don't think you should lie to children like that they are so impressionable

Most of the studies that were done against climate change literally set up their experiment so that they can get the results the desired. Thats why private companies should focus on products not principles/theories.

The only reason its even worth showing half those anti climate change studies to students is to show how biased and stupid half of them are.

I dont really expect a bunch of poly-sci, liberal arts degree senators and congressmen to understand science. Why are they even allowed to influence anything related to real education

[Spider]

The hilarious thing is when that group of scientists announced that they didn't think it was real and were going to do their own study....they only ended confirming what the rest of the scientific community had been saying all along. At least they had the integrity to admit it.

Thats what happens when you derive "science" from politics.

AGW a.k.a. Climate Change now is nothing but a global scam. A scam conceived by Al Gore with the idea of creating carbon credits to milk billions. A scan conceived to allow "developing" countries like China to catch up to the U.S. and Europe economically.

Conspiracy theories are fun.
