The crap is taught as dogma in schools.

I’ve always taken it seriously, in the winter I wear a coat and in the summer I wear shorts.

Here is how we respond. You can take your “nudge” and shove it where the sun don’t shine.
Gawd these people are arrogant boobs.

Just make “climate change denier” a DSM 4 diagnosis, and place “patient” in a re-education “institution”. Soviets did it all the time; no trial needed.

Someone’s paying for these ‘protests’ and strangely enough - it’s not democrats. You might be right on this one... it’s my fear also.

How do you do that? The answer has more to do with psychology than politics.How about trying science?

Psychologists are psycho’s.

One more reason I refer to public schools as child abuse centers.

I was done with Global Warming the first time I heard the phrase, ‘The science is settled’. That’s just nonsense. You can’t end the debate before the debate has even started...unless you’re a charlatan.

I’m a conservative and I believe in climate change....
You would have to be a moron not to know the climate changes over thousand of years....
AGW is a religion....I already believe in a savior....
No amount of brain washing can convince me AGW is real science ....

Just as when Yuri Andropov was head of the KGB and sending Soviet dissidents to “mental hospitals”.

I have been witnessing the “climate”, for over 50 years, and have my own conclusions, which are a moot point.
To: oblomov
Mankind can neither cause nor prevent tomorrow from being a rainy day ... and these arrogant bastages want to try to convince us that they can affect the
entire, world-wide climate!!! All they can do is screw with people's lives.

To: oblomov
Liberals tend to be more moved by the idea of innocent people being harmed than conservatives, for example, while conservatives are more likely to react to notions of disgust (some of the conservative rhetoric over immigration reflects this difference).This is journalism?!
Seriously?

Yep, and that's especially true of "historical sciences" which are very different from observational science. The matter of origins comes to mind, and neither side has the right to say that science "proves" their side is right since it's impossible to subject it to the scientific method.
All you can do with any historical science is ask the plausibility question: "Which one fits the best, with the fewest caveats and conditional factors?"

Yeahyeahyeah. “It isn’t the science, it’s the presentation.” No, it IS the science.
To: oblomov
Yup, good old social psychology that got me so flaming mad my textbook was irrepairable. Anyway, commie propaganda at its best and
VALLERI JARRETT majored in psych (bets it was in social psych?)
Guess how they convinced the world to recycle??? Taught in the books, ladies and gents. I do hate littering and waste so, ok. But i’m a moderate in most things. If recycling is unhealthy to people in any way, do they check?, then forget it.
The problem with global warming...the science just isn’t there like my warm winter clothes.
