Anthropogenic Climate Change: Skepticism and why science is never settled

[b_9904]

Yup. The science is very very much settled.

Last week a study was released, authored and signed off on by major backers of the global warming push that describes a pause in global warming. (source: Climate Pause - The Rebel)

okay...

but since we're already WAAAAY too deep in the rabbit hole, why not challenge your belief systems some more?

Yup. Because blaming ourselves is easier than actually studying it.

Indeed.

haha

remember the IPCC?

Michael "Mr. Hockey Stick" Mann...

that says a lot

but of course it doesn't fit the agenda so he's automatically discredited

*safe, you really ought to quote more credible news source. Breitbart, seriously?

Even the linked articles are from dubious sources. I bet those are from Koch hacks.

The pause is real.

The problem with the intersection of politics and science.

Scientists (at least good ones) will admit what they don't know, and will continually study a problem until they know everything.

Politicians (and their mouthpieces, like Fox or Breitbart) will never admit to not knowing, or to being wrong.

doesn't matter if it's from Breitbart or not. selective news will only give you a selective perspective :P

the pause is real.

with the lack of solid concensus, it's concieted to label alternative hypothesis as dubious when the null/mainstream hypothesis itself is dubious.

the point is, people are vastly underestimating the other components that contribute to warming most notably water which contributes 60-95% to heat retention. whenever there's an el nino cycle, its effects are immediately noticeable.

it's also important to note that some parts of the world are experiencing record low temperatures in the past couple of years... and not to mention run away albedo effect.

Which is the point this thread is making.

The science is never settled with climate science.

yeah... I really do bet those are Koch hacks and you'd be making the same statement a decade ago...
