Climate and Weather

No, not now and not evah.
Lets just follow the money and that will bear fruit.
Can you provide me a period in time that climate change was not happening.
You think I'm going to debate with scientific consensus? Can I tell you the Earth revolves around the sun because of my research? No. As Joe points out, follow the money. The reason there is an anti-science side to the debate is because we are a fossil-fuel based economy and the oil companies' money has created a fake "debate."

Yes, the science side has no need or want for money.
 
Science needs funding like anything else, difference is, it doesn't rely on a false narrative to further it's profits.
There will always be research, folks. When it reveals issues (such as the NFL concussion research and climate change and tobacco) that threaten massive corporate profits, there are no limits to the lengths that those threatened will go to via media campaigns, character assassination, falsifying its own research, etc., to protect their position. For some reason, the right now believes, as I have stated, that the scientific research side as the power. Somehow we find conservative politics telling us that while telling us that the white hetero male is the oppressed, labor (in an economy where wages are stagnant) wields too much power over management, etc. SMH.
 
"Climate Change" is not the important part of the discussion. Since the industrial revolution, AGW has become the relevant discussion.
Actually Wez, the discussion is not AGW. Everyone knows that AGW exist, but the question is to what extent it is affecting the environment.

Is it so bad that we need to shutter the coal industry and do away with gasoline powered vehicles? Or is it having such a minor impact that we can continue business as usual?

The problem is you can't just use data. Scientist have gone on record saying that we are still exiting the past ice age, so that would mean the Earth is warming. If the that's true, how much warming is just naturally happening? What percent is AGW?

Quite a few people in power (and chumps here) don't think AGW is real. The coal industry is shuttering itself. Having a discussion about what to do with AGW is very healthy. Arguing that it isn't something we should prepare for because it is not real or at least not something we should care about, is not healthy. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
 
That is exactly what it counts on, plus peoples fears. Other peoples fears.
Science counts on fears? So if we weren't afraid of things, we wouldn't have scientific research? I think earlier today you called me a weirdo and now you write this? Give me the science about pots and kettles.

It was fucking weirdo, get your fact straight.
Scientists Claim Hundreds of U.S. Cities May Not Survive Rising Waters…
Fear. Count on it.

Can you please tell me what side of the fence the media is on?
well joey, let's unpack that question in the face of the Breitbart article that you just sent, screaming about all the cities going underwater...in their overwrought effort to cite the union of concerned scientists' study.
