Science By Democracy Doesn't Work

StartsWithABang writes The US Senate just voted on whether climate change is a hoax, knowing full well that debates or votes don't change what is or isn't scientifically true or valid. Nevertheless, debates have always been a thing in science, and they do have their place: in raising what points would be needed to validate, robustly confirm or refute competing explanations, theories or ideas. The greatest scientific debate in all of history — along with its conclusions — illustrates exactly this.

Faux science

Global warming has been proven false - now they have decided to change the game up and call it climate change. The bottom line is the climate is always changing and it's absolutely disgusting that there is a group of people that try to use that to scare everyone into doing what they want them to do. These people should be rounded up and prosecuted and all the people that have lost their jobs and insurance due to onerous government regulations and malicious intrusion and monitoring should be allowed to bring lawsuits against them and strip them of every last thing that they own. It's sad that government feels the need to deceive the people like this. It's even sadder that a group of unethical scientists are in collusion with them.
