“In the world of real science, you can’t just make up some assertion, call it a theory, and expect anyone to believe you.”
Sure you can, liberals do it all the time; global warming, ozone hole, DDT, etc.
I'm talking about real science, not legitimate scientific concepts that have been hijacked for political purposes. The earth's climate is not static; it is either warming or cooling all the time. The ozone hole does form every year when the Antarctic is plunged into darkness by the tilt of the earth. And DDT did cause problems. It is not the fault of science that some politicians see in these real phenomena an excuse to try to restrict our freedom.
