Bahamut.Ravael said: » I'm fully aware of how science and, more specifically, research works. The fact remains that to accept this new finding is to assume that everything about the pause was wrong, but according to the Left you must have been an idiot to assume they were wrong at the time, and you must be an idiot to assume they're wrong right now. We're not talking about centuries of accepted science like the rotation of the planets, we're talking about huge assumptions and conclusions that are struck down and changed as we speak. A more uniform and accurate monitoring system reduces statistical uncertainty so no the field is not sitting in the same place as before asking for blind acceptance. It's stating the current state of things with a given level of uncertainty with stated assumptions and rationale available for scrutiny.

Please type slow, use small words and give us the tldr version for me and the other kids with the dunce caps on so that we have a fighting chance of understanding it. Thanks! Name all of the non-politically charged areas of scientific study where you will be attacked for being a fence-sitter because the data and methods aren't robust enough yet.
Now do the same for the politically charged ones. See the difference? That attitude bleeds over into the research that the scientists do, like it or not. It's a similar story in business research. When there is absolutely no preference for outcome, there is no bias. When researchers, shareholders, investors, etc. have a vested interested in seeing a preferable outcome, that often affects the results. Research doesn't happen in a vacuum (inb4 astronomy joke). I'm not a "denier" and I'm not an advocate, yet for some reason I'm labeled a heretic for not immediately accepting the results of admittedly flawed, evolving research with a strong political bias (with hard to obtain raw data to boot) this early in the game. That's bull crap.

And as far as I can see its the weird fringes of both parties who are into it. And it spans a broad spectrum of weird fringes. Garuda.Chanti said: » Vaccine denialism is bipartisan. And as far as I can see its the weird fringes of both parties who are into it. And it spans a broad spectrum of weird fringes. Yet, somehow, if you even hint at skepticism, you are automatically labeled as a denier. And the same type of people extend that label to all Republicans/conservatives because of that same skepticism. Well, guess what? What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Welcome to being labeled as a vaccine denier.

When I am not freezing my *** off buried under snow in Oswego County NY in February I will buy into global warming. We are having a very snowy and cold winter up here. I'd take me some global warming right about now. About 15 miles north of me in Oswego County is a town called Redfield, NY. They got 5 and half foot of snow last week, we got about 2 foot.
Mind you normal highs this time of year are around 28-30 degrees F, it was like 2F the last 3 days

Who else is so strongly demeaning Republicans throughout practically all campaigns? Who else is fighting so hard for EPA to have oversight over the littlest things? Who else directs the EPA to stop businesses from creating jobs in order to have the spotted chipmunk thrive so they can be eaten by hawks? While, at the same time, fining businesses for letting the hawk eat the chipmunk? Offline

I can't even confirm I exist so how can I confirm global warming ?

From a philosophical point of view it is easy to deny a lot of things. In fact I've made it my life's work !
