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."
Well-said! Let us *pray* then that religion doesn't get in the way of science! ;)
Just as your point 1 is equally denial. ... when did they run out again? ... finance people make lots of money, drive fancy cars and get laid).
Point 2 is far from `blindingly obvious`; in fact, gas prices here have gone down a bit in the last year
Far from being Creationists, the global-warming scam scientists are just crying wolf to get some attention and, most importantly, more funding and influence (they're really jealous of the finance people these days
Point 4 is simple pragmatism which is unacceptable to liberals given they typically feel they can't survive if things go bad (`lock and load` is not a term they're typically familiar with).
George Carlin, while not perhaps being scientifically trained, at least doesn't have a self-interest like self-aggrandizing and propagandizing pseudo-scientists with lousy career paths.
I agree that bullshit can be used to push a political agenda because people want money (q.v. 'weapons of mass destruction', 'the war on terror', and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan). But to say "it's not science" is ludicrous. On what do you base this assertion? How long, exactly, have you studied astronomy and/or meteorology and/or climatology? I'm dying to know where you found definitive proof to out the lie of this sham/conspiracy called "climate change."
