Why are so many flat-earthers liberals

But we knew the Earth was flat since the Greeks.

Earth was round*

Because Americans hate taxes.

>Horsey
also some Republicans do believe in climate change. The bigger issue is that the feel-good legislation lefties love to pass would have little beneficial effect...

alot of us believe in climate change
have you ever sat in a car on a hot summer day?

Not only that, but the reason people believed that the sun went around the earth was due to Ptolemy and Aristotle and the work of medieval astronomers. The idea that geocentrism represented pre-scientific thinking requires ignoring the work of literally every astronomer before Copernicus.

They believed in a wrong theory, but at the time almost all observations were explainable by their model. Only finding new observations [in particular certain eccentricities in the orbit of Mars] led to the new model being reviewed and finally accepted.

Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on Sup Forums by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is Sup Forums. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it.

I do. The climate is always changing.

I know global warming must be real because I get called an idiot if I don't agree with a unproved theory that's changed from "global cooling" to "warming" to "climate change" just like I get called a bigot whenever I claim race exists.

Nobody believed that the Earth was flat in medieval times.

Also, the Church knew that Copernicus was correct, because their astronomers came to the same conclusion.

Because the "solutions" to global warming are all oddly conveniently things leftists have already wanted for decades.

Someone should edit that to say THERE ARE 60 GENDERS

I'd do it, but I suck at PS

>Nobody believed that the Earth was flat in medieval times.

No, but the liberals believe this was the case because there was a bunch of shitposters working the press.

Trump doesn't believe in it. How can a man who doesn't believe in a universally accepted scientific fact be fit for office?

because scientists investigating climate change are smart enough to know that their funding dries up if they don't report evidence of climate change, and republicans are smart enough to know this

it's a leftist tool to dismantle the economy

and to make people pay 20% more for 50% less products

I tried

Maybe because most of the groups pushing for legislation to address it are the typical anti-capitalist socialist douchebags who are just using these theories to push their particular agendas.

Maybe it's real, fuck if I know. The way it gets pushed comes off suspicious as fuck though.

The exact sort of legislation we need to pass is Pigou taxes, guys. After that we can remove all the other ecological restrictions and everything will be fine.

Constant shilling can make someone take a position out of spite.

Also, we're no longer the primary contributors to climate change, and cutting back on emissions would make us vulnerable to getting killed by people who ARE responsible for climate change.

If you're so against man-made climate change, there's only one true and permanent solution: Genocidal war on China.

I'm actually kind of sad to see so many woefully ignorant people

We do, we just dont buy that carbon dioxide is destroying the Earth

>if you took every barrel of oil ever produced in history and burned it all as dirty as physically possible, the CO2 in the atmosphere would rise by 0.5%. That's before any plants even recycled the CO2

So explain why you believe in man made global warming

Dont you have some tests to grade?

Because we don't feel like it. That's the only answer we have to give because the left are faggots.

Who cares? It's not like the usa is the one doing most of the polluting anyways.

>why does his disbelief in one very specific scientific theory make him fit for leading a nation that has tons of various complex issues to handle?

I don't know, you tell me leaf.

Everybody believes in climate change you fucking leaf.

The disagreement is abut whether or not said change is man made.

You have to remember something leaf man, that clay you are shit posting from was buried under a mile of ice just 20 thousand years ago. It it mans fault it is melted now?

>Why don't Republicans believe in climate change?
Because Democrats use it as a form of control of the masses.

>Trump doesn't believe in it. How can a man who doesn't believe in a universally accepted scientific fact be fit for office?
Man-made global climate change is not "universally accepted scientific fact".

Regardless, believing in global warming or not is not a requirement for holding office.

>I'm actually kind of sad to see so many woefully ignorant people
Your feelings don't matter a damn little bit, liberal scum.

It goes both ways friend. :^)

It really isn't a matter of believing it or not. The problem is leftist politicians taking advantage of the idea of climate change for their own agendas. Take our own country, for example. Every useful idiot is opposing oil pipelines being built. But then how do we get our oil? Import from foreign countries of course.

If humanity rejected human evolutionary theory would it make a difference in our advancement as a species?

We need to set the same standard for science we like and don't like.
I accept both of these theories, because the evidence backs them both very well.

All they have to do is accept that exists. They don't have to fund any initiatives or anything. Just say that it exists

While the science behind the anthropogenic "greenhouse gas" hypothesis for global warming is sound, in practical application, our alterations to atmospheric composition are, at most, only a small part of climate change over the last hundred years. All attempts to fit atmospheric CO2 and historical global temperature to a model result in gross overestimation of temperature in following years and decades. This holds true even when other gasses are taken into account.

This means that 1. we know that the change in atmospheric composition is, at most, only part of the picture, and 2. while we do know that increasing CO2 levels result in increased global temperature, we have no idea how much, or if that value is actually ecologically relevant.

We should still be investing better energy sources for the sake of pollution and energy market stability. Right now, that basically means lots of fission plants.

The earth is getting hotter but there is no proof that the majority or even significant amount of this trend is due to human activity or atmospheric composition.

>racial science from the 1960s inspired by Eugenics from the 1930s

correlation does not imply causation, friendo. Just because niggers living in poor areas are underachievers and turn to crime does not mean this are doing so because they are niggers.

Similar conditions of poverty and lack of education existed in Eastern Europe and that part of europe is known as a den of thievery, thuggery and squalor

heh

...

Could you kindly provide citation, please.

I'll believe that people think global warming is an actual problem when people stop moving from cold states to California, Arizona, Florida, etc.

Even if global warming is real it is sooo far down the list of threats to humanity yet the left want to make it out like it's the coming of Satan.

>"It says here the guys doing the study were white supremacists who went against the scientific method to push an agenda."

>"You should really work on your aim."

Models fitting this data to temperature enormously overestimate observed temperature rises in spite of continually rising greenhouse gas concentration in our atmosphere.

yes because much of our clinical studies for medicine revolve around the fact that certain other mammals have similar immune system's to humans

>The Catholics believed the world was flat meme

Yes there is

Environmental degradation can lead to wars. Wars can lead to millions dead and maybe even nukes.

>Race realism

>Why don't Republicans believe in climate change?
they don't like regulation and climate change hasn't directly manifested in people's lives yet so people in general aren't scared enough of it to give a crap

>>"It says here the guys doing the study were white supremacists who went against the scientific method to push an agenda."

Demonstrate that they were white supremacists. Demonstrate that they violated the scientific method. Give specific examples.

>>It also says that IQ tests, logically, only test ones proficiency to take a test which is harder in poor places with worse schools."

This fails to explain why whites below the poverty line score almost identically to the top few percentiles of blacks.

You are as aware as I am that few modern studies have been attempted purely due to the fear of doing something incredibly politically incorrect and being blacklisted from the scientific community.

No, there isn't. There's proof that the gas concentrations increased and that global temperatures did at the same time, over a several hundred year period. But many models have been made to predict further temperature rises based on further increased greenhouse gas emissions, and all of them overshot what ended up actually being the case by a very wide margin. The existence of correlation is not proof, merely evidence, of causation, and in this case it has been revealed to be at best a lesser effect.

I'm yet to see any science on the subject. All I see is regurgitated studies done on outdated, disproven estimates

Race has enormous physiological consequence which is why hospitals continue to record this information. Blood and tissue compatibility, metabolic tuning and sensitivity, likelihood of having a genetic disorder (giving the doctor extra info upon which to make diagnoses), and dermatological issues are among just the clinically relevant differences between the races, which are acknowledged specifically because doing so improves healthcare for everyone.

Republicans think man-made climate change is a hoax, you strawman fuckboy.

>pre scientific

Yeah the geocentric theory existed before science existed...

Room temp IQ Horsey strikes again

I cringed.

Why does the best candidate have to spout such lies to get elected?

>Because Democrats use it as a form of control of the masses.
That doesn't mean it's not also real, and a problem that will make the lives of Republicans and Democrats alike worse.

>Man-made global climate change is not "universally accepted scientific fact".
Well yeah, stupid people still don't believe in it. But even if you don't accept it, it's actually happening.

>Your feelings don't matter a damn little bit, liberal scum.
Neither do yours, especially in regards to scientific fact.

The IQ gap between races only diminishes slightly when you account for wealth. Poor whites are smarter than poor blacks, rich whites are smarter than white blacks. This does not mean that they are inherently less deserving, only that the majority of them are inherently less capable. We ought to be ruled by the most capable and most admirable of whatever race- but since jews, whites and asians are disproportionately intelligent, they will be disproportionately represented in a meritocracy.

Daily reminder:

* A doubling of preindustrial CO2, absent any feedbacks, would result in a maximum forcing of +1.2C.

* The General Circulation Models, and the IPCC, predict 2-8C of warming because AGW theory assumes a positive H2O feedback. They assume that if CO2 causes a little warming, the atmosphere will hold more water vapor which will lead to a lot of warming.

* The warming predictions cover such a large range because everyone assumes a different average H2O feedback rate.

* Every GCM based on this assumption has failed to model temperatures for the past 17 years. They are all trending too high.

* In the late 1990's the modelers themselves stated that if they missed their predictions for more then a decade that would falsify AGW theory.

* There is no data to suggest a +H2O feedback either now or in Earth's past.

* If there is no +H2O feedback then we literally have nothing to worry about.

* The average climate change believer knows none of this. Politicians, citizens, activists, surprisingly even a lot of scientists are literally ignorant of the theory and the math. In their mind it's simply "CO2 = bad" and "experts say we're warming faster then ever."

>Right now, that basically means lots of fission plants.
And, we would of had them by now, if not for the incessant pissing and moaning of the prior generation of eternally aggrieved brain dead lefties.

Nice one breh

I just can't understand this.

Nuclear is incredibly clean if the waste is disposed of sensibly, yet lefties freak out over it. They moan about the problem and the solution. Windmills are not going to meet our energy needs any time soon.

Because it has been turned into a leftist/globalist religion, where there are literally no solutions, where there is no purpose in even bringing it up except to sideline someone who "doesn't believe" or to control people.

You did it right here in your stupid post. It shouldn't matter that its real or not.. what matters to you is that you accuse others of being heretics. It's a fucking inquisition, another insane plot spread by leftist zealots.

China has us beat raw and he Saudis have us beat per capita.

We really need to get rid of China, don't we?

dude all your trends start in 1750-1800. Industrialization was only happening in 1 place during that time period.

yeah "well the trends just started at that point!" draw the tangent line at 1800 on CO2. it's already exponential at 1800. Come the fuck on.

If you guys have been paying attention; they've been shifting the issue:

1st it was global warming
then climate change
now its all about emissions

whats gonna be the next narrative?

>Why don't Republicans believe in climate change?

Because big oil bribed them. Same reason why so many of them opposed ozone depletion (until business found a cheap and easy solution) and opposed anti-smoking legislation (despite the overwhelming scientific evidence). What's hard to understand about being bought and paid for? It's how Washington works. The Republicans are more blatant and shameless about it, that's all.

>That doesn't mean it's not also real
That doesn't mean it is real.

>and a problem that will make the lives of Republicans and Democrats alike worse.
The Democrats are doing that regardless.

>Well yeah, stupid people still don't believe in it.
IQ has nothing to do with accepting or denying global warming.

>But even if you don't accept it, it's actually happening.
Just because you say its happening, doesn't mean it is.

For example, you can claim the holocaust happened all you want. That doesn't mean that it actually happened.
There's no evidence for the holocaust happening and you can't prove it happened.

>Neither do yours, especially in regards to scientific fact.
But it's been politicized to the point where real science is no longer being done. Just because some scientists get together, shit out a study, get their yearly grants, and claim the study "proves" global warming, doesn't mean global warming is happening.

You're brainwashed. You don't think for yourself. You think only how your liberal masters want you to think.

That's why you believe global warming is happening and why you're freely giving up your freedoms to those who control you.

>Why don't Republicans believe in climate change?
Because the world has been cooling for the last 10 years.

Congratulations, you are only the second worst polluter in the world, sit back, relax and enjoy not being worst. Clearly, the responsibility to do something about it is all on the shoulders of the worst, not the second worst.

Most republicans do believe in climate change. They just don't think it's the governments job to fix it.

But Chernobyl user. The green party says that every nuclear plant is going to explode lime the tsar bomba its olby a matter of when

Still doesn't explain why wealthy blacks in wealthy neighborhoods with well funded schools still score lower on IQ tests that middle of the road, average whites in subpar schools.

Will Canada ever stop cuck posting?

>universally accepted scientific fact

Scientific theories are not judged based on their level of "acceptance", but on the accuracy of their predictions.

AGW based GCMs have utterly failed to model climate for 17 years now. The ones that predicted mid-to-high warming (strong H2O feedbacks) are well outside any margin of error and are scientifically falsified. The ones that predicted low warming (low H2O feedbacks) are close to exceeding their margins of error, meaning falsification.

What the average person thinks of as "man made global warming" rests on a strong positive H2O feedback. If that doesn't exist then all the dire predictions are worthless. Anthropogenic CO2 does have an impact. But absent any significant feedbacks it's too small to be concerned about.

Last I heard, Trump believed climate change was made up by the Chinese to try to the United States to regulate their industrial areas out of business, so the Chinese would be the number one factory haver in the world. Or some dumb shit like that.

>actually thinking that all leftists want to dismantle the economy
>implying Green energy isn't a viable economic option

Flat earth theory is the ultimate redpill

we win
canada would split at the same time

There isn't anything wrong with war. It's a great way to clear out the evils of society.

The climate changes naturally. We had a mini iceage several hundred years ago. The thing is we survived that and we will survive hotter temperatures too.

Because in the 50's-70's everyone was loosing their minds over global cooling. Then in the 80's the narrative switched to global warming.

It's all crap, and alarmists should be shot

...

>Nuclear is incredibly clean if the waste is disposed of sensibly, yet lefties freak out over it. They moan about the problem and the solution. Windmills are not going to meet our energy needs any time soon.
You must understand...for liberals, their feelings trump facts, logic and reason.

They feel nuclear energy is too dangerous, therefore it "is" too dangerous. Regardless of how safe nuclear energy actually is.

>Still doesn't explain why wealthy blacks in wealthy neighborhoods with well funded schools still score lower on IQ tests that middle of the road, average whites in subpar schools.

Can't find any study on that.
Could you post it?

THORIUM WHEN

I'm down with putting significant resources into alternative energy research, more efficient technologies, etc. Or, just in general anything that would be good even if there's no climate change.

What I'm not down for is artificially inflating the cost of energy, transportation, etc. If we're going to move forward then let's move the fuck forward instead of hobbling ourselves with restrictions.

We're one good innovation in battery technology away from moving to electric cars and more anyway.

>Because big oil bribed them.

Strange. I've read papers, studied spreadsheets of data, and even peeked at the source code to a GCM. I don't believe in "man made global warming" because I can't find the fucking H2O feedback that the theory rests on.

But the one thing I don't remember is ever getting a check from "big oil." Who do I contact to get that check? And how much is it? Can I afford a gas guzzling sports car with it???

And by evils of society you mean men. War clears out young men.
