titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted June 17, 2017 So, a scientist wouldn't fudge data to please their govt bosses? The Govt plays it down the middle? It can't have a desired outcome? So you look at all scientists. The vast majority of them work for either government directly or a subsidized educational institute. Worldwide. They all say x. The small minority works for the guy whose pocket will directly be screwed by decrease in fossil fuel production. 100% plain as day bias. Yet you choose to believe B. Wonder why. Perhaps you approached the question with a bias yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps you approached the question with a bias yourself. Have I ever stayed either way what my thoughts on climate change are? My posistion on the matter is I don't think pollution is good and we can use far less of it. But I don't need dogma from either side to back up my conclusion. I figured that out all by myself.

Baker Boy 1,477 Posted June 17, 2017 Deadly London Tower Fire Fueled By ‘Green Energy’ Rules London’s Grenfell Tower was made worse by government “green energy requirements” that allowed fire to rapidly engulf the building Wednesday, leaving at least 17 people dead and scores more wounded or missing. . “I have never seen a fire that has engulfed an entire building like this in a career of more than 30 years,” Matt Wrack, who heads the Fire Brigades Union, told The Telegraph. . The Telegraph noted that cladding “is used as an insulation to make buildings more sustainable to meet green energy requirements.” Some 30,000 buildings in the U.K. have been retrofitted with cladding to cheaply comply with green energy mandates. . However, building residents and experts have warned about the fire risks of cladding for years. A blog post by the Grenfell Action Group in November 2016 warned that “only a catastrophic event” would bring attention to the building’s issue. http://dailycaller.com/2017/06/15/deadly-london-tower-fire-fueled-by-green-energy-rules/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giraldi02 470 Posted June 17, 2017 So, a scientist wouldn't fudge data to please their govt bosses? The Govt plays it down the middle? It can't have a desired outcome? There's always a desired outcome. Thats...you know...part of the scientific process. Whether the results of the experiment prove that to be factually correct, or inconclusive, or incorrect, depends on the experiment and the conductor itself. Scientists don't solely care about appeasing their government. The only way to get your information widely viewed, further researched, etc is to get it submitted and approved through a peer-reviewed process and have others test the validity of your process. The government isnt going to publish a study and call it factual if it hasnt been widely peer-reviewed. They would become a laughing stock. Those scientists also come from different governments and different agendas. They're also in a dog eat dog world too. Theyre competing against each other while also trying to build off others work. It is painstakingly difficult to get something published to a peer-reviewed journal. I know. I had to go through the process. While mine was not science-based, the process is the same. Any little thing someone can scrutinize they do. However...I would rather see higher rejection rates across the board to be honest. Lesser known and smaller review journals often accept at a higher rate, which leads some to submit their work to those in order to avoid the harsh scrutiny and/or rejection.

Baker Boy 1,477 Posted June 20, 2017 60% Of Millennials Willing To Give Just $10 Or Less To Fight Climate Change The survey asked millennials, "How much would you be willing to personally give to the government this year to fight climate change?" A total of 60% of the respondents — which included more liberals and centrists than conservatives — either offered no money at all or were only willing to hand over ten bucks. A third (33%) said they'd give zero dollars; 27% said they would give only $10 a year; and 22% were willing to give $100. Altogether a total of 82% were unwilling to give more than $100 to combat "mankind's greatest threat." Of the final 18%, a total of 9% were willing to give $250, 4% were willing to hand over $1,000 and 5% said they'd give more than a grand. http://www.dailywire.com/news/17674/exclusive-60-millennials-unwilling-give-more-10-james-barrett# Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kanil 519 Posted June 20, 2017 except everything is made out of carbon, its continually being produced, fracking has taken clean energy to the next level, we have an infinite amount of natural gas as well. look I am not saying Solar is a bad thing, it saves me money, I have 90 solar panels, but thats the only reason I have them, they have tried mass projects near me, the Mojave desert and it has been a disaster, Palm Springs has thousands of windmills and their energy costs are even higher, cause they have to ship the electricity out and pay for it to come back, sure keep working on perfecting it, I think its a smart idea that all houses be built with solar as well mandatory, but to think its the solution is wrong Nuclear is the best solution regarding energy but it has such a negative mark behind it Sorry, I don't usually check in on the weekends and then was busy all day yesterday (and will be for most of this week). The highlighted is the answer. Wind/Solar is terribly inefficient. We need to be using Nuclear energy but the left is scared of it and the right are slaves to big oil.

Baker Boy 1,477 Posted June 20, 2017 This one on the Left's MMGW scientists they love to quote. Bill Nye isnt actually a scientist. He has a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering. He left that field to do stand-up comedy for a while before breaking into showbiz. And apparently, over the years, his basic ideas about science have evolved into something that has nothing to do with science at all, and everything to do with leftist ideology. Nye is an avid supporter of climate change. He even thinks it may be a good idea to jail climate-change skeptics. http://www.afa.net/the-stand/culture/2017/04/bill-nye-no-science-guy/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baker Boy 1,477 Posted July 5, 2017 And this is how science works: EPA-funded lab faked research results on respiratory illnesses, Duke University has admitted that one of its lab technicians falsified or fabricated research data on respiratory illnesses that were used to get large grants from the Environmental Protection Agency. The admission came Sunday in legal filings that respond to a federal whistleblower lawsuit, which the school tried to get dismissed, by former lab analyst Joseph Thomas, according to the Durham Herald-Sun. Thomas claims in his lawsuit that the allegedly fake research data of Erin Potts-Kant, who worked eight years at a Duke medical school lab, was used by the prestigious university and some of its professors to fraudulently obtain federal grants. Thomas also claims Duke tried to hide the alleged fraud. Potts-Kant told a Duke investigation panel, which reviewed 36 of her reports, her fake data was “included in various publications and grant applications.” Thomas alleges that all or nearly all the work Potts-Kant did during her eight years at Duke compromised grants worth $112.8 million to Duke and another $120.9 million to institutions like UNC-Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University, the Herald-Sun said. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/07/04/epa-funded-lab-faked-research-results-on-respiratory-illnesses-whistleblower-lawsuit-claims.html Scientists serve those who pay them.
