How many of you progressive scientists are against vaccinations and genetically modified food crops?

LOL

anti-vaxxers come in all shades.

i'm more worried about the monoculture that comes with GMO rather than GMO itself.

but go ahead and put business interests over safe agricultural practices, that could never backfire.

Scientists: "Be alarmed about climate change!"

Conservitards: "That's just a theory."

Scientists: "Don't worry about ebola, it's not a crisis."

Conservitards: "OMG stop all the flights!"

Hahahahahahahahaha!

Global warming might be legitimately described as an hypothesis, certainly not a theory. When the models predict a linear relationship between atmospheric CO2 levels and global temperature in the face of doubled CO2 levels and a 17-years-and-counting pause in global temperature elevation, then one must look a bit skeptically at any claim that the alarmists make.

Quarantine of infectious areas is a time tested, and proven method of containing disease.

You might have a point about mono cultures, but we already have those in most of the world. GMOs won't impact that either way.

CO2 levels doubled in the last 17 years?

are you honestly questioning the relationship between CO2 and temps?

what kind of fucking idiot does that?

I am pointing out that the global warming hypothesis claimed a direct relationship between atmospheric CO2 levels and atmospheric temperature, and that has not panned out in the real world. The global climate is not as neat as a lab flask.

it hasn't?

i believe it has panned out.

all the evidence shows it has panned out.

only retarded drooling douchebags would make the claim that you just made.

a 17-years-and-counting pause in global temperature elevation

only idiots repeat that stupid bullshit.

'Global warming has been on pause for 19 years': Study reveals Earth's temperature has remained almost CONSTANT since 1995

• Professor Ross McKitrick studied land and ocean temperatures since 1850
• He also compared this to satellite data from 1979 to 2014
• Trends in this data revealed global warming has been on pause for 19 years
• And it has been on hiatus for between 16 and 26 years in the lower troposphere - the lowest portion of the Earth’s atmosphere
• This is longer than the 15 years previously predicted by the IPCC

Professor Ross McKitrick

LOfuckingL.

might as well have gone full kynes and cited rushton in a debate about race.

Ross McKitrick is a Canadian economist specializing in environmental economics and policy analysis. He is professor of economics at the University of Guelph; a senior fellow of the Fraser Institute, a Canadian free-market public policy think tank; and a member of the academic advisory boards of the John Deutsch Institute, the Global Warming Policy Foundation,[1] and the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation.[2]



the fraser institute was formerly paid by tobacco companies to deny the harmfulness of tobacco, now they are funded by exxon mobil. go figure.

the GWPF won't reveal their sources of funding and has been caught in outright lies before, which they then had to retract.

the cornwall alliance makes its members take an evangelical pledge. fucking hilarious.

We believe Earth and its ecosystems – created by God’s intelligent design and infinite power and sustained by His faithful providence – are robust, resilient, self-regulating, and self-correcting, admirably suited for human flourishing, and displaying His glory. Earth’s climate system is no exception. Recent global warming is one of many natural cycles of warming and cooling in geologic history.[6][7]

only a really fucking stupid person would reject the conclusion of 34 national academies of science and cite this asshat instead.

 

[UncleBuck]

i tried to go to "hoodfortrees.org" but no page came up.

you keep repeating your horseshit about this "pause" and citing evangelical economists though.

"The latest data comes from a survey of 2,316 U.S. adults by a researcher who works at the universities of Yale and Harvard. While questions about human-caused climate change divided along political lines--with liberals believing it is happening and conservatives denying it--there was no such correlation with anti-vaccine views. The vast majority of people believe the benefits of childhood vaccinations outweigh the risks, regardless of their politics. And the survey found anti-vaccine views are more common among Republicans."

that's hilarious.

 

[MuyLocoNC]

No one is denying the FACT that CO2 increases FOLLOW temperature increases. Until that relationship was "inconveniently" reversed to manufacture the crisis, there was no debate on that relationship.

 

[SmokeyDan]

95% true.



you didn't build the infrastructure that makes the USA one of the best nations in the world for business.



he never even said that, you dumb shit.



haven't put boots on the ground except for small special forces units.



name one that has been more transparent.

The fact that you jump in to defend the obvious hypocrisy of your side is awesome.

Your rebuttal to no boots on the ground is "there aren't many? "

Since when was not many less than zero?

The sad fact is that Obama is so much like every other schmuck we've had in office that very little he has done is noteworthy other than his skin color.

Yet you defend him because he speaks about things you like without doing any of them.

too stupid to understand what a feedback cycle is, are ya?

CO2 and temperature go hand in hand. when one goes up, so does the other.

so when CO2 levels rise, it causes temperatures to rise, which further causes CO2 levels to rise.

i understand that you are insufferably stupid and have called the conclusion of 34 national science academies a "hoax" without any evidence or proof whatsoever, but the rest of us are not as dumb and hyper-partisan as you.

please refrain from dumbing down this board further. thank you.

what boots has obama put on the ground then?

You admitted yourself we have special forces over there.
