    Show me one time that your climate model has made an accurate prediction about the weather, then maybe your climate science will match meterology's horrific 50% failure rate.

    Making models that fail to predict reality is play, not science.

    Somehow the times when the experiment doesn't quite result in what you might expect, do not get on TV. For instance, the prediction made on In Search Of by Leonard Nimoy in 1976 about climate is practically censored.

    So is the fact that New York City is not underwater, a prediction made by Al Gore back in 2002.

    Climate science is HARD. Are changes going on? Yes. Do our current models accurately predict those changes? No. Does a "scientific consensus" thus fit the scientific method? No.

    Actually, using slave labor rather than paying your workers is why we have illegal immigrants.

    If your only response to deniers is to use police instead of evidence you are no longer doing science. After all, climate change scientists are deliberately publishing misinformation for financial gain.

    Who made Bill Nye the arbitor of what is "legitimate"? It isn't like the climate change religion has any actual evidence behind it. The IPCC is just a religion, not science.

    Then why is Bill Nye lobbying the government to censor climate change deniers instead of presenting his evidence?

    At this point, his "scientific method" seems to consist of lobbying the government for new censorship laws.

    Came close 1947 to 1952. Of course, we were the ONLY manufacturing system still intact, we had been overproducing for 10 years previous to that, and we had 95% income taxes on the top 1% to make that after-tax income equal (in that a millionaire and a $5,000 a year ditch digger had the same after tax takehome)

    For that matter, most technological advancement has the effect of eventually *shrinking* rather than growing the economy. More work done by machines means less man hours to pay, and thus, less overall payroll going out, which means less money for consumers to buy your product. It has only been because of fiat currency that we haven't already seen deflationary cycles.

  12. Scientific consensus is an oxymoron. Consensus is against the scientific method.

  13. Consensus science is mythology, not science.

  14. And in this case- the "scientific method" prefered by climate change proponents seems to be use the police and jails rather than evidence.

  15. Yeah, right. Evolution is settled science?

    Maybe Not
