Is Climate Change 'Science'?
American Thinker.com ^ | June 12, 2021 | Jonathan Mosely

“Trust science, not the scientists.” That is the essence of science. That should be widely shared. Unfortunately, climate change advocates have completed the twisting of science (although this was well under way). Science was created to eliminate opinions and the role of prestigious experts.

We are watching the rapid collapse of COVID-19 experts, like a house on a Malibu cliff after a heavy rain. Will the unsustainable hoax of climate change be far behind? The establishment system exalts experts if they advance statist goals. But the public rejects royalty.

First, science has decayed into “Imagineering.” Thought experiments are not science. (Imagining things can lead to proposed hypotheses. But a hypothesis must still be tested by hard-core experimentation.) Many argue desperately for speculation as being science, when science was designed to avoid speculation.

What matters most is what we do not know. The surprise factor between what we expected and what actually happens in real-world experiments is where discovery lives. We don’t know what influences are happening that we did not know about. That is why Imagineering is not science.

Second, so we have to run actual empirical experiments. To determine whether carbon dioxide (CO2) causes the Earth to be warmer would require experiments “with all other things being equal.”

To qualify as science, we would need to contrast Earth A with no human industrial activity against Earth B with human industrial activity. All other things would have to remain the same, identically. Then we would have to repeat that experiment. So we would need Earth C, D, E, F, G, etc.

This cannot be done. The correct response is for grown-ups to say “We don’t know.” But there is too much to gain in publicity and fame. So we corrupt science to reach conclusions that cannot be scientifically confirmed.

Yes, like COVID is science. Hypothesis design experiment data then interpretation. All easily manipulated. Think of scientists more like lawyers who interpret evidence based on their own biases and interpretations, even if the evidence is true.
I still laugh on here when someone asks for scientific evidence for COVID after over a decade of debunked climate science. Slow learners, or maybe naive.

It’s a money making racket at this point. All of these big alt energy projects are have a bigger “carbon footprint” than old school methods of generating electricity. I just watched Planet of the Humans documentary(ya, it’s by Michael Moore) which blows the lid off of alt the energy scam and shows who’s getting filthy rich off of it. Al Gore of course. Bloomberg, the stuttering Kennedy and others.

Aside from blaming everything on greedy capitalists and ending with the conclusion of too many people, it was entertaining. You can find it free on bitchute.

The “Climate Change (formally Global Warming) folks use “selected” statistical evidence to support their narrative. Additionally, they will just make up “data” when it’s deemed necessary. It’s more like fake, politicized science than real science.

At best, you can refer to it as ‘cult-change’.

The climate has, and will always, change.
Man is an input in the equation, but an absolutely minuscule one.

Science is funded by government and grants from philanthropic communist organizations. March to our agenda or eat cat food for dinner

To qualify as science, we would need to contrast Earth A with no human industrial activity against Earth B with human industrial activity.

The Coriolis effect prevents heavy CO2 from substantially crossing the equator. If Earth is exiting the last ice age down there too, that eliminates man-caused CO2 from being the driver.

As alluded to in the article, global warming is actually beneficial too the planet.

Science, real science, is never settled. The best the human mind can come up with is a working hypothesis, which is tested and retested with varying parameters. And if some of the parameters come up with unexpected differences, repeatedly, then the hypothesis is subject to change or extensive modification, to fit some explanation to the new data. But there is never a “final answer”.

And of course, there is always the arbiter of all this contention - how much is it going to cost? Cost/benefit ratios are real, and for the economics to work, it must always be a positive ratio.

Must explain why all the heavy dirt is up north, too.

Models where unknown inputs are manipulated is not
science.

CO2 rise lags rising temperatures by 10s of thousands of years throughout earth’s history and that’s science fact.

Climate change today is like covid 19.. It’s a cult.

Climate change is ignorance.

A person whining about a climate change crisis is an ignorant, uneducated person.

algore is at the top of that list. He is a lazy uneducated fool

“Is Climate Change ‘Science’?”

No, it’s a political hoax. Meteorology is a science.

Climate change is science; the climate has always been and always will be changing. Human caused climate change is fraudulent pseudoscience.
