Going to be another brutal summer for much of the US it appears...

Exactly. Science is generally about trying to test and prove things wrong. So it’s a bit weird that people who hate science always point to past conclusions that were eventually proven wrong. That’s the whole point!

It becomes a law when it appears to not be unproven. I.e. planetary motion, thermodynamics, newton, etc.



Yes.

Meteorologists can barely predict the week ahead, and you expect me to believe their decade long predictions?

How about you go back and look at the scientists' predictions from 35 years ago lol

Doom and gloom is good for their business. Always has been.

You should question anyone that makes a living off of making predictions.

Science once said that dietary fat and cholesterol were bad for you and that you should eat a high carb diet lol...

...Oh yeah, sunscreen and deodorant, the things we recommend everyone use, may actually lead to cancer

...those pesticides we said were ok, yeah, they probably cause cancer

...studies now show that plastic particles are in your testicles. How long before they learn it leads to cancer

Oops, my bad. Science!

The problem is many of you can't hold competing thoughts in your head. It's common with humans as they would rather be "right" than think critically or consider other possibilities. Too much ego investment.

For example, it can be true that climate science has been riddled with false panics and unfulfilled prophecies, but also that modern man affects the climate in a way that's detrimental to his own survival. It can also be true that some science is proven incorrect over time and other studies are proven correct. Still others can be undecided.

Of course science changes over time and sometimes scientists are wrong and yes even admit it. That's the idea.

I'm not religious, but it's obvious to me that as belief in a higher power has dwindled amongst the masses, new religions have been created. Science being one of them; equalism another.

People have "faith" in the science. They believe their prophets, and will not hear otherwise, because science has the ultimate say...

Until it's ultimately proven wrong, which it often is. But the believer will find justifications for it. As they always do.

Meteorologists and climatologists are not the same.

They are, and you should eat predominantly carbs as your largest macro. That hasn’t changed.

You clearly don’t understand science. Who concluded that these probably cause cancer? What method did they use to determine? Who created the method?

Who concluded that commercial pesticides cause cancer?

Or who concluded that ingredients in sunscreen and deodorant cause cancer?

Or are you asking about the micro plastics in your body?

Be specific

And be sure to look up those "climatologists" predictions from the late 80s, early 90s

I was pointing out how irrational your greivance with science is. The people who conclude any of these can potentially cause cancer are scientists using the scientific method. It is a scientist job to research and test. Scientists are the ones proving each other wrong. The people bvtching about science being wrong are not doing anything other than bvtching about not liking the results.

Ok, bro

Do you think?

@EyeBRollin you've gotten soft, brother.

Two posts and you're out lol

A research paper does not care about some yokel's personal beliefs. The new cult leaders are dopey politicians and media types who love outrage, most of the general public couldn't name a scientist or study. If your argument is that people are mostly ignorant, I agree.

You're a covid bro, i take it.

Keep your mask on, bruh

don't know what co vid is

oh so for you gender feelings>biology , no science for you, just lop off the huevos. no judge ment here.

Do you think?

Carbs should unquestionably be your main source of sustenance. This has also been studied at length.

Anyway, to the topic, the science is currently hoarded in resources by those with the most money, so of course it is going to always be biased for their purposes. The average person lacks the time and money to pursue their own studies, so "science" can easily be monopolized. Watch how during covid, the science was being questioned so heavily, that the powers that be ended up making doctors and research disappear while censoring anything that questioned the "settled science."

Being a man not only means being skeptical, it means being able to smell bs from a mile away. Not saying that every man has to be a detective, but having some kind of survival instincts separates the wheat from the chaff. Some people are meant to teach and others only follow.

Research disappeared yet the covid vaccines were created in under a year? Curious…

Most people who think the can smell BS are terrible at it. That’s why social media grifting is the number 1 job right now.

I live in miami.Tinting your car and house windows plus timing your ac usage can go along way.The whole global warming thing has been blown out of proportion in my mind.

Given the talk of the Permafrost subsiding, felt this might be interesting to the assembled:

Earth's 'Gateway to Hell' is growing

Not actually a crater, the Batagay megaslump is a sign of the times.

The ice caps melting is going to put Miami underwater. Miami is fxcked by the end of the century. Hope you have ironclad flood insurance.
