  1. Agreed. A tribe runs well with a council of the wise, supported by a public.
  2. I don't go by numbers, I go by good arguments. Peterson isn't very good at them, neither is musk . The self-described socialist.
  3. It's a survey of scientists. Here's a more recent one: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ac2774 Published by an LSU scientist. Abstract: So, it's not evidence of climate change, no. The evidence is in the papers such as MBH99 (Temperature reconstruction) https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/1999gl900070 and cited by 2733 other papers. CO2 monitoring is done by NASA https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/ And the Greenhouse Effect is known, ergo - if you increase the amount of CO2 it increases temperature in the atmosphere. It's pretty much a slam-dunk which is why 100% of climate scientists now buy into it. Although that wasn't the case 20 years ago so it seems that some of them have been convinced. If you have an alternative theory, please publish it. Don't post a video of someone in a church basement in Iowa telling a bunch of conspiracy folks that the scientists are "idi0ts" etc.
  4. 1. How about a study ABOUT the studies ? It's 20 years old but showed that consensus was achieved that long ago. https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&doi=c38660c58a91b26edfb6a7d85fa41e68b2b5e472 Cited 435 times by other studies.
  5. I see.... Is there a paper I can look at ? I googled and found lots of examples of climate change affecting phytoplankton but not the other way.
  6. 1. If not, then what is causing the increased water vapour to trigger temperature rise.
  7. I don't hear much from Black Lives Matter these days. The complaining about such movements, is rather akin to complaints about Q-anon, in my books, in that they're just complaining about archetypes, even real archetypes. We still have markets and competition so that should take care of meritocracy. My company seems to be majority non-white and merit is never in question here. Grist for the mill, it seems.
  8. Ok, but it wasn't the same for everyone. It might not be the same for you or for me this time.
  9. Read the link. You didn't answer my question either, although you seem to think that you did.
  10. If so, it makes sense. So many Republicans in the graveyard ready to rise from the grave and take DJT down ... like a Creep Show... Paul Ryan, Pence, McConnell... Maybe an actual dead man like McCain will be in the final frame in the comic book version... Skull and all..
  11. Weird. Pence going for the jugular? Might be spite.
  12. Aside from expressing vehement opposition to the progressive worldview, and pointing out the most ridiculous and contradictory examples... I don't see any progress in raising alarms about this ethic. DeSantis and his crew moved on...so it's now in the domain of comedians to poke at it.
  13. And yet refuses to yield to a higher authority. An oddity for a religious person, I would say.
  14. This was conservatism from the Golden era that the populist pines for. Think about that for a second.
  15. Is water vapour increase? If the experts aren't looking at it, it's probably not a factor.
  16. ? What ? I can learn something from a dead skunk, I suppose, but not much.
  17. 1. Because it requires too much thought. 2. Still. People don't use the word niggardly anymore either. ...
  18. Sorry I was paywalled, got deceived by clickbait. Whatever did Lantsman mean though? 🤔
