When did this descend into a political thread
|
It started off as one, with 5./JG27.Farber making the usual ridiculous claims about taxes based on 'lies'. Given the monumental display of wilful ignorance demonstrated by most of the denialists, there is no chance of this ever being about science anyway. If you want a debate on the science of the issue, this isn't the place to have it - though I'd suggest you do a little more reading up on the subject, and on the politics behind the conspiracy-mongering, before getting too involved. As far as science is concerned, the basic issue is resolved - man-made effects on the climate are real, and will have serious consequences. There is little credible evidence to the contrary, and most of what the conspiracy-mongers present as such is either out-of-date, misinterpreted, or just plain fabricated. Of course, there are still debates within the scientific community regarding details, and there is much more to be learned. You won't learn about any of it on internet forums dominated by political propaganda pushing anti-intellectual dolts though. They are fools, and apparently proud of the fact...
