Is Climate Change the New Evolution?
sciencehabit writes "Is climate change education the new evolution, threatened in U.S. school districts and state education standards by well-organized interest groups? A growing number of education advocates believe so, and yesterday, the National Center for Science Education in Oakland, California, which fights the teaching of creationism, announced that it's going to take on climate change denial as well."
And that's your problem... 96.5% of the world's scientists are not climatologists.
There would be much less pushback against the whole issue if there wasn't a core cadre of zealots who routinely avoid anyone checking their work. Given how often they've made stupid mistakes in their papers I can understand their desire not to have their work checked thus putting their various grants at risk. However understanding human nature doesn't have anything to do with the actual practice of science.
Honestly what we need is for all the first world countries that are funding climate research is to obligate all grant recipients to publish their data, their intermediate work, etc. This idea of hiding the ball isn't appropriate for publicly funded research and labor.
So now scientific consensus which is the result of due consideration of peer reviewed studies and 30 years of scientific investigation doesn't mean anything.
What does- a CATO Institute "study?".
The debate is over. Too bad you and CATO missed it, but since you have nothing of any scientific value to contribute anyway, really, who gives a fuck what you think?
