Good question: why are you debating that we’re debating “climate change” if it is settled science, Ms. Carol Costello?
(CNN) There is no debate.
Climate change is real. And, yes, we are, in part, to blame.
There is a 97% consensus among scientific experts that humans are causing global warming. Ninety-seven percent!
Goodness! “Ninety-seven percent!!!!!!!!!!!!” Which has been entirely shredded. And consensus is not science.
Yet some very vocal Americans continue to debate what is surely fact.
The question is, why?
Trust certainly plays a part.
According to Gordon Gauchat, an associate professor of sociology from the University of Wisconsin, just 42% of adults in the U.S. have a great deal of confidence (PDF) in the scientific community.
Well, we should totally trust people who have completely failed in their prognostications, where the real “consensus” is that 95% of their computers models have failed. Where they “massage” the data, change the data, falsify the data. Where they take the hard data from the past and make it fit their cult. Where they enrich themselves while refusing to follow their own talking points.
We aren’t debating change, we are debating causation. I wonder if Ms. Constello has given up her own fossil fueled travel, and made her life “carbon neutral”?
