so much for global climate change
'Should Australian newspapers publish climate change denialist opinion pieces?'
hilarious, this is the voice of a famed Liberal paper trying to turn 'climate denialism' into hate speech.

We don't have time for this. Action needs to happen on climate change now.
2014 is the year the world must switch to a low carbon regime or it will be just too late.
We're on a war footing. Deniers are nothing but enemy propagandists. The Guardian and the rest of the media must take away their oxygen, in a figurative sense, if the biosphere is to have any hope at all.
The next generation will have to decide whether or not climate deniers should have their oxygen taken away in a literal sense, depending on how much damage they have caused to the life of the planet.

ridiculous. i've seen my niece often enough over the last four and a half years yet haven't spoken a word to her, which is as it should be. the longer she waits to engage with people outside her immediate nuclear family the longer she'll be happy

it's pretty cool how we've spent 10 years being told that the science is settled despite the stubborn and ongoing refusal of the climate to conform to predictions/nerd daydreams

oh please, who can blame scientists for ignoring reality when reality is looking like the plot from "the day after tomorrow"? that movie has a rotten tomatoes rating of 45% so i think the scientists are just doing their best to forget about it

the climate is gradually altering (ocean acidification as well as atmospheric and oceanic heat increase) and scientists who study the arctic are observing its green seasons come earlier and creep further north. this isn't the apocalypse, it's just an event and we should pay careful attention to it because it will have political and economic effects on a lot of human populations. just stop listening to the gibberers on both sides iwc, you need be neither an alarmist nor ignorant, just be a cautious and responsible interpreter of the information available to you...
but you see how the refrain of 'the science is settled' is a noxious, hubristic lie right?

meanwhile australian taxpayers just forked out half a million bucks to rescue a bunch of climate change scientists who got trapped in unprecedentedly thick sea ice at the height of the antarctic summer.
being a climate change zealot means never having to say you're sorry though.
a lot of people in the media, government, sciences, academia and politics have hitched their flag to The Movement just like there are also vested interests in denying that climate change is happening.

i would love to but the information is hard to judge responsibly when it's changing or warping all the time: 'oh um the heat is actually in the ocean now, did we not mention that? No? well it is'

roseweird posted:iwc i think you are justified in your outrage at what you called the labcoat mafia but part of what allows them to profit on fear is the lack of education in science of the general public, which is mostly dominated by the tidal changes of people who say "it's the end of the world" against those who say "no it's fine it's fine pass the crude". i don't think (in my professional capacity as an overconfident layperson) any science is settled but there are a few good models that indicate we should worry about warming (and ocean acidification) as a result of increased atmospheric carbon density. even small global climate changes are major historical, geological, and evolutionary events, so we should tread carefully, certainly more carefully than alarmists (who have prevented us from thinking about how to use remaining fossil fuel reserves carefully) and more carefully than so-called "denialists" (who have prevented us from thinking about how to adjust our current fossil fuel usage).
that's fair. I do agree that this debate thrives in an environment of scientific ignorance amongst the population but at the same time, it's so specialist and interdisciplinary and complicated that it's impossible for most people to be meaningfully engaged and therefore it largely comes down to ideology
