>Professors tell students: Drop class if you dispute man-made climate change
>‘We will not, at any time, debate the science of climate change’
>Three professors co-teaching an online course called “Medical Humanities in the Digital Age” at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs recently told their students via email that man-made climate change is not open for debate, and those who think otherwise have no place in their course.
>“The point of departure for this course is based on the scientific premise that human induced climate change is valid and occurring. We will not, at any time, debate the science of climate change, nor will the ‘other side’ of the climate change debate be taught or discussed in this course,” states the email

We know for a fact that climate change is a hoax. Completely made up.
What does this say about ''professors''? It's not looking good.
Jesus fucking Christ, I can't wait for this stupid, completely debunked meme to be over already so that I can gloat about it. Then again, they will probably come up with some other bullshit, like Earth being flat or something, and then they will kill me for thinking Earth is round.

Funny you bring that up, because even Wikijew has an entry dedicated to scientists who are not in line with the mainstream theory on climate change.
What makes the article even more interesting is this little excerpt
>NB: Only individuals who have their own Wikipedia article may be included in the list.
So this is just a fraction of the individuals who have a problem with climate change. In other words, all these people would be exiled from this course. Really makes you think

Science is such a farce now. Also if "Global Warming" is real why do the winters get colder every year and the summers milder where I live?
Where I live it hasn't broken 100 degrees F in the summer in 10 years. Before 10 years ago every summer hit 100+ multiple times sometimes 106

>what's the point of college if you can't challenge conventional ideas or even debate anything?
You are only supposed to challenge things like capitalism, the white supremacist patriarchy, christianity, etc. Things that you, your professors, your classmates, the mass media and the government all agree need to be challenged.

fucking UCCS.
I went to UCCS for a couple classes years ago, and they're actually a pretty good school, nice campus, but it seems like they always do some stupid shit like this to fuck themselves over.
I went up to Boulder expecting it to be a libtard paradise, and it kinda is as far as the student body is concerned, but I was actually really surprised that the professors were really, REALLY open-minded even about conservative viewpoints. and many of them were a lot more red pilled on shit than you would expect.
guess this kinda shit is what separates the wheat from the chaff.

Does that mean we get to invade India and China since those two nations are the world's top polluters and they MUST be stopped if we're to stop MUH CLIMATE CHANGE? Because just """investing""" in Martin Shekelbergstein's """reneweable energy""" scams won't do a single god damn thing--since they're scams to begin with--but we LITERALLY MUST STOP China and India if we want to STOP their rampant pollution. That or do something crazy like Donald Trump wants to do and PUNISH international corporations who skirt around environmental protection and worker protection laws by lobbying for "FREE TRADE" with polluting slave labor nations.

Friendly reminder, that we will see massive defaults on student loan in the future. Because young people take these online-courses or shitty made-up humaniora courses in actual universities and borrow money for it. It gives them zero competence for future employment - the courses they are taking are merely a hug-box of like minded people expressing their subjective opinion. They will never be able to perform any degree of critical thinking.. They are the equivalent of Sup Forums becoming a university course (with all do respect)
From the article in the link OP provided.
>An activity assigned within that section instructs students to take a test to measure their own carbon footprint. The purpose, reads the syllabus, “is not to create guilt or shame, though those emotions are entirely common.”
Jace Nguyen
>no, they are banning everything EXCEPT the scientific method
The profs said you literally cannot dispute it in any way, so you cannot use the scientific method at all because they don't care.
Also for a guy who has called almost everyone in this thread an imbecile with no concrete arguments, your only argument has been "the science is settled." I understand though that the irony will be lost on you.

The Earth did this far before humans 'destroyed' it, just a natural cycle. Global Warming follows with Global Cooling, we did nothing to force it unless you believe in HAARP and DARPA
James Howard
>The profs said you literally cannot dispute it in any way,
yes.... exactly
>so you cannot use the scientific method at all because they don't care.
no, that is ALL you can use, the scientific method is the _only_ thing they allow, its whats been used to reach the given conclusion
perhaps you dont know what it even means

I understand not being willing to teach climate denial in lectures, but I feel it's extremely ridiculous and counter-productive to make victims of and censor all of those who hold views that are supposedly so easy to disprove
Elijah Smith
Both haarp and darpa are real.
Source; many members of my family were heavily involved in both as labor and as scientists.
So unless I'm the victim of a 30 year long running gag, these things happened.
What was done there and how it was done I don't know, I'm just pointing out that they are real government programs that existed & did something.
Cameron Hernandez
No, they do not allow the scientific method either, because they will not allow any discussion critical of global warming. You cannot debate it at all, thus meaning the scientific method does not matter, because they will not hear you out in the first place.
Also you have not addressed how you lack any argument whatsoever besides appealing to consensus.
>the science is settled >just listen and believe
Hudson Thomas
>Friendly reminder, that we will see massive defaults on student loan in the future. I look forward to this. the college bubble needs to pop before anything gets changed. particularly the line of thought that you NEED some special college degree to be successful.
While college is definitely a bit more of a necessity for higher paid jobs than it used to be, (thanks to the lack of good industrial jobs, and the few that remain sometimes do want specific degrees like engineering) it still isnt 100% needed. you can make money without one. Of course that means maybe not having a cushy office job and having to get your hands dirty. Sanitation workers have fantastic pay, for example. but that involves being a "garbage man, eeew!"
Jacob Myers
Freeman Dyson is on the list..

>The Earth did this far before humans 'destroyed' it,
red herring pseudo strawman
again, check simple-english wikpedia article on global warming, it should illuminate you as well as other poster
of course its not ALL man's doing, but its quite very far from NONE of man's doing
the CURRENT change is extremely too soon and too fast to align with any geo-evidenced cycle known
Josiah Sullivan
Are you really this stupid? If something is so easily proved then it can be readily proved to anybody who questions it so why attempt to stifle any conversation before it can begin? Are you intellectually dishonest?
Matthew Lee
>because they will not allow any discussion critical of global warming
if it is critical of global warming, then its not adhering to the scientifc method
>Also you have not addressed how you lack any argument whatsoever besides appealing to consensus.
thats the opposite of the scientific method they arent going to waste their time on anyone who EITHER doesnt know or doesnt care about the facts
Grayson White
>Sanitation workers have fantastic pay, for example. but that involves being a "garbage man, eeew!"
quick google search turns up that avg salary for sanitation workers in most cities is $30k or so.
i made more money than that when i was waiting tables as a 20 year old, fucking kek
Zachary Mitchell
Thanks for sounding like the imitation of the inquisition, faggot.
Nathan Perez
Regardless, to believe we have facilities that control the Earth's weather is tinfoil tier so whatever those organizations were up to was certainly not magic. Otherwise there would be no reason to even worry about global warming if we have places that can cool it back down wikipedia is open source >the CURRENT change is extremely too soon and too fast to align with any geo-evidenced cycle known We have been due for this since the last ice age, it's right on time, your little buzzwords irresponsibly taught in your 1000 english comp class mean nothing

Lincoln Sanders
because we are passed proving it
if you cling to the opposite, you dont care about the scientific method, empirical evidence, logic, facts, nor anything else objective, only egotism and or politics, or possibly religion
OR if not one of those ulterior motives, then you are mentally ill or of a mind too simple to grasp the material
all of which is counterproductive to science
Joseph Hernandez
What about thousands of aerial nuke explosions, air and ground traffic, and now heating permafrost. Not trying to prove either side but be aware of this. Man can change climate I believe
Parker Parker
I agree, I was just pointing out that the programs existed, they aren't from the x-files wiki.
I don't know what was done in them, but they existed, is all I was saying.
Christopher Murphy
I am serious you fucking libtard. if climate change is real why can't I see it?
Jayden Scott
thats the starting pay, which is low. but factoring in overtime, it's about 47k for the first year, and after about 5 and a half years, you start jumping up to 88k on average.
thats not chump change at all. And has the guaranteed benefits of being a city job.
Jace Phillips
Well if it's a class about combating climate change why would you waste time debating whether or not you think climate change is real. Maybe don't take the class if you don't believe in climate change. Btw I'm redpilled as fuck, if you deny climate change you are literally mentally challenged.
Charles Jones
"yeah I admit my only argument is appeal to consensus so what?"

Charles Howard
Ad hominem would be if I were to insult you. I did not insult you. I believe what you are looking for is "strawman." However that was not a strawman, because you actually did admit that your sole argument is appeal to consensus.
You aren't as smart as you think you are.
Lincoln Smith
Because as it turns out, the death of the only known inhabitable planet and subsequent death of the only known intelligent life in the universe is pretty fucking degenerate.

just read the wikipedia article, plenty of sources, and likewise with all linked articles: and: >wikipedia is open source
appeal to the stone
for close to the same reason mankind assumed for millennia that the earth was flat
it is bigger than "you" therefore you dismiss it out of hand
and anyone with widely gathered evidence and study, all based solidly in fact or not, is necessarily a "holier than thou" schemer and charlatan with an evil agenda
