Though additional work always remains, the physical sciences have completed their core task when it comes to climate change, says Bill McKibben... "What we dont know is how to stop ourselves from harming the climate, which is why this book and the social sciences are so important.
Edited by environmental sociologists Robert J. Brulle, PhD, a professor in Drexel Universitys College of Arts and Sciences, and Riley E. Dunlap, a professor at Oklahoma State University, the book highlights new things by presenting climate change as a completely social phenomenon, implanted in behaviors, institutions and cultural practices.
We need to develop the conversation to sociologists as well who can help address these human aspects of climate change and answer questions like, how can we change our culture of consumption, how will we respond to extreme weather events caused by climate change and how do we bridge the political divide on this issue,

Translation:
how can we change our culture of consumption = how can we force people to accept deprivation.
how will we respond to extreme weather events caused by climate change = how can we turn every bad storm into a propaganda tool.
how do we bridge the political divide on this issue = how can we silence the voices of reason.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
The first thing to do is fire all university professors who teach this unscientific religion in the guise of “science” to our gullible youth. Just cutting down on their hot air will decrease global warming.
No way the taxpayers should ever fund the “social sciences” in state schools (or indirectly in private schools).
Shut off the real climate scientists (the ones not bought with grant money) and let the bogus “science” of sociology instruct the gullible
If the core tasks of the physical sciences was fraud, data tampering, perverting peer review and ignoring reality, than yes, they have succeeded.
Social manipulation.
These people give me a headache.
It’s probably from slamming my head against the desk every time I read some total cow flop ramblings, written by someone with a bunch of letters after his name.
I used to have a sticker on my truck that read, “Stupidity Should Be Painful”.
This guy wouldn’t understand it, but his picture should be on the sticker.

What do you call an Aggie Engineer five years after graduation? Boss more often than not.
Critical as conduits of propaganda and enforcers of Right-Think.
We have massive student debt to help pay for this idiocy.
PhD = Piled Higher & Deeper
Do as we do, think as we think or you will be shunned and starve.
environmental sociologists ?
Don't make the mistake of trying to make sense of it.
Well, duh! Those nasty, linear, phallo-centric real sciences are all FACT-BASED! How can you expect them to understand the genius that is The Won??
Behave and you will receive a steady ration of grasshopper gruel. No air conditioning for you though. That will be reserved for the elites.
Translation: we’ve decided the science is settled and supports our agenda, now we need social scientists to convert people to our ideology that is supposedly backed by the science.
