Science requires funding. Funding is given by donors who are interested in a particular outcome or intellectuals who care about the same.

I guarantee you it would be hard to get funding if you walked into a University and said you wanted to do a 2-year study with the Hypothesis that the natural climate change of the earth is impossible for man to prevent.
pretty amazing how the scientific research around the world, including all the places free from US political influence, is in near-unanimous agreement on this issue.
Yeah? Cite all the scientific research from around the world for me. Also, provide what person or organization funded the research.

There are liberal morons all over the world. Especially outside of the US. They have the same incentives to use "climate change" to push socialism as American socialists.

After reading this thread, we clearly need a term for when the first person attempts to politicize an argument then they've thus lost the argument- similar to Godwin's Law

As far as the movie- for me and me alone it was simultaneously both pretty accurate and the most depressing thing I've seen in a movie in a while. But well done regardless- it didn't feel as long as it was

It's not a "conspiracy". They don't get together in some secret meeting. They all independently use whatever "emergency" they can to push their liberal policies. Whether it is a natural disaster, terrorist attack, covid, recession, climate scare, etc. It's what you guys do.

And academia, which gets the vast majority of it's money from government has every incentive to keep their gravy train rolling by producing the results their benefactors want.

Just look at how wrong their computer models have proven to be. Strange how they are always ridiculously higher than reality. It's been a joke.

In reality, 95% of academia is a joke. Hell people submit fake articles for "peer review" all the time that get approved for academic journals. One of the few areas I still respect are the cosmologists. At least that is real science and not cargo cult "science".

You are a walking, talking example of Dunning-Krueger in action. Fake articles are approved for legitimate peer-reviewed journals all the time? Which ones? Not predatory journals that you pay to publish in, but legitimate peer-reviewed journals. Go for it, provide a list.

I don't know if you have the same data. I assume NH is northern hemisphere and SH is southern hemisphere and Global is the global I don't see anything on yours about surface temperature.

Secondly. The NASA thing took a small subset of them took the mean and said "hey it sorta matches!!! We are RIGHT!!!" Never mind that each individual hand picked model may be wrong. But if we average out their wrongness it's sorta right! That is not a legit model. I've done modeling for most of my professional career. If we tried to make a claim like that, our customers would laugh in our face and revoke our accreditation.

You're obviously not familiar with general circulation models and climate models because having several runs where one variable is different in each is a standard practice in order to help test the reliability and robustness of the models in question. This is used in weather forecasting and in climate forecasting. We would never use one model because they work differently and do various things differently so in order to make sure we have a good handle on the overall situation, multiple models are run with one or two things changed. This will lead to a wider range of output. Its not meant to land on an exact solution, but rather a plausible range of solutions that are all a certain percentage to be correct.

This is why future projections are included with confidence intervals.

What you describe as a problem is actually intentional in order to make sure we cover the most likely range of scenarios. Its a feature, not a bug, and its a sign the scientists know what they're doing.

The fact that they "work differently" and "do various things differently" is the problem. The world doesn't "work differently".. it works in one way. If my simulation doesn't match real world, it's WRONG. And we go and figure out where we messed up. We don't get to say, "oh well these behaves differently".. and hope if we could find the proper subset of wrong ones that we can average up to sorta match reality. That's something one would do if they were trying to pull the wool over somebody.

I'm not saying that we could do the climate it any better. I get that modeling such a complex system is incredibly hard, and is much more complex than what we model. If climatologists were to try to model the climate to the level of fidelity of ours it would likely cost the entire federal budget or more.

But we should NOT be basing worldwide decisions that will likely starve many people based on something we know so little about. Show me A SINGLE model that is gnats ass, and have it show that it will kill more people than the green new deal and THEN we can talk.

All simulations are wrong, but that doesn't mean that they're not useful. You're obviously ignorant of what goes into numerical prediction and that's fine. We don't all have to be experts on this. But you thinking you know better than the experts is the problem. We use these models all the damn time to make trillions of dollars worth of decisions and somehow you declare them wrong because you a) don't understand how they work and b) have decided its politically inconvenient.

On the other hand, those with actual money at stake trust these models constantly. Airline industry trusts them. The insurance industry trusts them. All logistics companies trust them. The military trusts them. Wall Street trusts them (so much that they're always trying to convince the people who create the models to come work for them).

But hey, you've decided we can't use them and they are unreliable. Ok.

'deniers' = people who want rational policy with a logical goal and based on sound science. OK.

for the last 8000 years, you know, when mankind began to flourish, the world has been several degrees warmer than it is now almost the entire time. When it wasnt, everyone was starving and killing each other and freezing the Thames, etc., etc., etc., (i.e. the little ice age).

before that was a REAL ice age, where mankind almost went extinct.

There also happens to be this large fiery orb nearby which is the source for 90% of 'climate', which fluctuates on its own, and which remains very mysterious to current science.

and you want to destroy our lives and surrender our prosperity because of an ambiguous tiny 50 year one degree blip, at best?

and you ignore that the entire elitist government/political/education and scientific funding is predicated on sucking the ecomony to prove this theory, rather than to research the real science? and you ignore the outright, proven fraud by supposedly credible sources that put out graphs like you are citing to?

There is "wrong" and there is "tailored to push a political agenda".

And it's one thing to trust something for the flight of a single plane vs making a 300 year decision that can ruin entire economies and uncountable number of people. For example, if AOC got her way, a CRAP ton of people would die. I would take 2 degree increase over 100 years over that.

Lol... this thread.

One thing the last 2 years has really opened my eyes to is how biased directed the scientific community is. I don't follow the climate change debate as closely as I did the COVID pandemic, but seeing "scientific" groups pedal one opinion and constantly spouting "Trust the science" while simultaneously silencing and ostracizing any scientist who disagrees has left me with a complete distrust of it all.

I followed two of the links in those articles posted, and looked up the writers to see where they work. Then did my best to find where the funding for the work came from. Basically impossible to find any of that. Though the one from the author who works for the Australian National University allowed me to look into who is funding the research. Of course, the research was funded by the Institute for Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions, which is largely controlled by 3 people. You think they would fund a qualified person who was looking to challenge the idea? Nope. They start from the pre-conceived notion that climate change will already be the death of us.

That led me to an article by a PhD candidate who was awarded a grant from this group, and I was basically reading her citing climate change as a reason for everyone to conform to what sounds like a communist paradise. Then I looked further into what this fund looks at, and they specifically mention, "Preference will be given to students from the emerging generation who are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, from Pacific Island nations, or from rural and remote areas."

So this apparent "science" cannot be challenged and one of the important factors in providing funding for those looking into it is they must be from an emerging generation and some form of minority or apparent "oppressed" people?

That's called mixing identity politics with science and is just one of the many reasons I can't take academia seriously.

I'm not spending the rest of my day reading and researching every journal there, but I would love to see every paper or journal published also publish the provider of the grant and who else was considered for said grant so I can see the biases in that.

Also, because personal politics seems to be so tied up into someone's "science", I would love to ask each of these authors how many genders there are. Let's see how their "science" works with that question.

How is stating facts "juvenile"? Just go look at what the "great leap forward" did in China for an idea of what socialism does. Look at the death rates in other socialist nations. It would make most genocidal leaders blush.
