"Blah blah blah.. Modern science has lost a great deal of credibility, period."

Nonsense.

The biggest polluters pour millions of dollars into republican campaigns. That's all we need to know.

Discrediting the scientific community is just part of the strategy.

Why do so many of your posts hinge on irrelevant American politics?

that nepal earthquake thing is scary & depressing... hundreds dead... is this from climate change or fracking or is it just a nature thing?

What is scary and depressing is the sheer ignorance on display.

I actually came back to this thread to see if I could make a joke linking the Nepal Earthquake to fracking, and someone has actually and seriously beaten me to it!

God save the world from these uneducated simpletons.

Yup, I was right.

Good old Newsweek, never lets a tragedy pass without trying to link it to CO2. After they linked CO2 levels to Ebola and the war in Syria, I suppose this was inevitable.

More Fatal Earthquakes to Come, Warn Climate Change Scientists

....

“Climate change may play a critical role in triggering certain faults in certain places where they could kill a hell of a lot of people,” says Professor McGuire.

Some of his colleagues suspect the process may already have started.

The only other group I have seen exploiting terrible disasters for their own ends with such enthusiasm are the Nigerian scammers with their fake donation websites........

What is this? Global Warming, Mk. II?

Better throw lots of money at these "scientists", guarantee them jobs for life, get every other scientist remotely connected to seismology on board, ridicule all scientists who aren't believers, etc, etc.

May we please know your credentials in climatology? My guess is you have none, yet somehow believe that you know better than 98 per cent of climatologists who assure us that anthropomorphic global warming is a reality, and a soon-to-be disastrous one.

So you have spoken to every one of these scientists individually?

More likely that you have read something in a newspaper while sitting on the throne.

Off with his head!

I’m still inclined to believe the scientists more than the contrarians who might well have vested financial interests.

After all think what would have happened to our friends and relatives had we all believed what the seven dwarves testified in Congress all those years ago about them not believing cigarettes were addictive even though the scientists said quite the opposite. And who was right ?
