Now.....if they can put "climate change" back on the government's websites.....

One of the things that bothers me most about Trump---is his attempts to quash science.

Science is an easy target because people want absolutes.

absolutely.
chances are, we're f****d already, though, given that the collapse of ecosystems is now fast enough to be observable with the naked eye.

What few people realise is that Exxon knew of the impact of climate change through "in house" modelling on the impact of anthropogenic carbon emissions on climate as early as the 1970s but (like cigarette companies such as Phillip Morris hiding research on the impact cigarette smoke on lung cancer) suppressed information leaking to the public

And Republicans tell us that private business poses no threat to anyone.

Pseudo science isn't science.

You mean like young earth creationism, and rejection of evolution?

Yes, warmists are on the level of creationists and flat earthers. Science is never about consensus.

So, over 95% of scientists are fooled into believing in the "warmist" pseudoscience?

Give me the list of every scientist and the alleged 98% that support the warmist theory. The majority believed homosexuality was a mental illness not so long ago. The majority believed the earth was flat. Like I said science is not about consensus.

:roll:

97% of climate scientists around the world are in agreement that human activity is a major cause of climate change we're seeing now. What evidence do you have to refute them with?

Science is self correcting, thus we know homosexuality isn't a mental illness, and the earth isn't flat. But for some error to be corrected , the evidence has to be legitimate, which the anti-climate change "evidence" is not.

Consensus on Consensus - Cook et al. (2016)

Authors of seven climate consensus studies — including Naomi Oreskes, Peter Doran, William Anderegg, Bart Verheggen, Ed Maibach, J. Stuart Carlton, and John Cook — co-authored a paper that should settle the expert climate consensus question once and for all. The two key conclusions from the paper are:

1) Depending on exactly how you measure the expert consensus, it’s somewhere between 90% and 100% that agree humans are responsible for climate change, with most of our studies finding 97% consensus among publishing climate scientists.

2) The greater the climate expertise among those surveyed, the higher the consensus on human-caused global warming.

What's the evidence for the claim? Like I said, the 97% claim is bogus and science isn't about consensus.
