Who ever controls the purse strings dictates the agenda, scientists knew this and climbed aboard the fake science train to continue being funded or they would be working at mcdonalds. As for the funders they are not stupid they put together a scam to siphon American tax payer dollars into their pockets fund third world sh$$ holes and a narrative for educators to spew at nausium to our young. Hell elementary school teachers are still pushing kwanza, a fake African holiday created by a felon

[Trillian]

They think a man in a dress is a woman. I don’t listen to anything they say.

Give liberals a break!

Liberals first have to find a school that teaches science.

[aquila48]

So called “climate science” is 99% politics and 1% science.

IOW it’s political science.

[aquila48]

“Liberals demand that we change reality to match their mental delusions.”

Nail on the head. And unfortunately, they seem to be getting their way.

How come we the sane are letting the insane win?

One of the most significant ways that liberals (specifically AGW/"Climate Change" adherents "flunk science" is that they totally lack a sense of proportion.

Specifically, they seem completely unable to comprehend powers of ten or orders of magnitude. For example, most of them don't have a working grasp or understanding of the difference between, "million" and "billion"...

Whenever one of them mouths off to me about "Gorebull Wahruming", etc., I give them this simple test:

Typical Lib answers range from, "Over NJ" to "Over DC"...

Try it, yourself -- and, post your answer here in a comment.

( I'll provide the answer -- and analysis of the results -- in a follow-on comment...)

~~~~~~~

400 PPM (Parts Per Million) is the Gorebalists' currently claimed figure for the total fraction of the entire atmosphere that is CO₂. (The entire" pie", below...)

But, the total fraction of that 400ppm "pie" contributed by all of humankind since the start of the Industrial revolution is 11% of the whole:

Of course, that 11% of 400 PPM (the red "slice") is just 44 PPM!

~~~~~~~~~~~

Going offline now, to put a few more numbers into HTML format. I'll be back with "the rest of the story" -- and to post the answer to the test... ')

Liberals’ emotional reasoning drives them to catastrophism in general, whether equating disagreeing with an official victim group as wanting them dead/hating the whole group or “a little warmer, let’s borrow from the Book of Revelations and sing we’re all gonna fry unless you convert to our faith NOW!”

If I understand the question, you’d be somewhere near the end of the runway at JFK.

[TXnMA]

Good answer — if you start counting distance at the brake release takeoff point.

How does liberals flunk science? Let's see, XY is a male not a female... XX is a female not a male...

Also liberals fail reading and math, too...

[aquila48]

Easy - about 10 miles from JFK.

[TXnMA]

At least one decimal point off...

[aquila48]

OOPS - sorry,about 1 mile (0.9848mi)

[aquila48]

Thing is, arguments made on the basis that CO2 is such a small fraction of the atmosphere, it can’t possibly harm you, is not a strong argument.

The amount of a substance need not be big in order to cause serious harm.

“”Botulinum toxin is the most poisonous substance known. A single gram of crystalline toxin, evenly dispersed and inhaled, would kill more than one million people.”

And there are may other substances that can kill you with very small doses.

There are much better arguments based on actual data for debunking the warmist’s religious belief. Here’s an excellent 13 minute video that presents them.

Dead on! ‘-)

[spacewarp]

That would be about a mile and 1/8th from the end of the runway.

Thanks Kaslin.

Last year, The New York Times went as far as to blame evangelicals for our "post-truth society." The New York Times lamenting a "post-truth society" is like Satan complaining about sin. Few organizations or individuals in the history of humanity have waged a more enthusiastic war on the truth than has "the newspaper of record."
