Why is the Republican Party specifically retarded about science?
You guys realize that NO OTHER PARTY IN THE WORLD denies human caused climate change (which has a 97% scientific consensus), right?
The parties you love the most, such as France's Front National, they think global warming denial is laughable.
There's no other party in Europe that thinks Kami-Sama created world in 6 days or that global warming isn't real.
Here in Slovenia, even the most right-wing Catholic party believes Evolution is a fact, climate science is real, and the world is billions of years old...
So how did the Republican Party come to be so batshit insane?

They get paid to deny it
Matthew Young
The more further right you go, the more scientifically illiterate the people are. They aren't insane, they just feel like it doesn't matter and isn't worth it to believe in actually investigating something to come to objective conclusions. They would rather settle hard as fuck than stay open to learn. It's definitely ignorant
Grayson Wilson
>Muh 97%
Based on a single study of about 1000 papers only loosely tied to climate science, with a broad definition of what "agreed" with man-made global warming. A study that has been debunked countless times and holds as much weight as the feminist's "wage gap".
In other words...

Benjamin Rogers
What I'm saying is, this is specifically American, I've never heard of right-wingers in Europe being anti-science
Can you Americans please just accept that the God of Israel didn't conjure the world in 6 days? Can we just give that idea up? Please?
Blake White
Tbqh i think they know it exists but because they have a vested interest in the oil industry and shit like that so they are better off denying it. Also didnt the Australian PM a couple of years back not believe in that shit.
Jonathan James
GOP is paid by Exxon mobile to deny it exists. Tricks on them though, leaked documents from Exxon mobile shows their scientists also came to the conclusion that global warming is real.

Half of us think it's retarded and are disappointed in the people who actually believe in it seriously. Abrahamic religions are cancer, and it's the people who believe in them throughout history that have done the most harm to human civilization. It continues today with ignorance, actually holding back meaningful progress in the world. Their dumb and ignorant beliefs are losing influence because people are growing up actually questioning their bullshit, instead of just blindly accepting it like their cuck religion wants them to.
We can see that their religion survives through child indoctrination. We can see how irrational and far-from-logic their beliefs are. We don't like it but we can't legally just purge them so we have to deal with it for now.

On the Democrats side I'll find the SJWs. Nuff said

Whilst I'm an environmentalist, I'm noticing a new trend to treat science like a new religion. If something has a "scientific peer reviewed study" behind it, well it's accepted as the new gospel. Just as primate cultures used gods and their priests to explain things they couldn't understand, people today are treating science with the same sort of reverence, and scientists are the new acolytes.
The problem is the results of most of those studies simply couldn't be verified under a proper audit.
> There’s just one problem: science is in deep trouble. Last year, Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet, admitted that “much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue.” In his words, “science has taken a turn toward darkness.”
> Medical research, psychology, and economics are all in the grip of a ‘reproducibility crisis.’ A pharmaceutical company attempting to confirm the findings of 53 landmark cancer studies was successful in only six instances, a failure rate of 89pc. In 2012, a psychology journal devoted an entire issue to reliability problems in that discipline, with one essay titled “Why science is not necessarily self-correcting.” Likewise, a 2015 report prepared for the Board of Governors of the US Federal Reserve concluded that “economics research is usually not replicable.” Its authors were able to verify the findings of only one third of 67 papers published in reputable economics journals. After enlisting the help of the original researchers, the success rate rose to a still dismal 49pc.
The most corrupt are the most successful in Politics; that's the cold hard fact.

>BUUUUUUUUUUT, if there are SCIENTISTS who study the climate and they tell me based on their expertise as a united whole that climate change is real, I ignore is because I KNOW BETTER

Ever since I saw that video I've been thinking about how to possibly make a different system that allows for a "benevolent dictator" and the only solution I've found is either: >Absolute monarchy Where the rulers closest subjects are relying on him for their power and not on their subordinates. Where the system is built around the will of one person. But this system is easily corrupt as well.
The other system: >Religiously chosen leader If it is generally accepted that a higher power has granted the ruler his position then people would follow him out of faith and not greed. But this has been tried before and since clear signs of god are few and far between many people can claim themselves blessed rulers, as it is seen in the middle ages.
Carson Gomez
Jesus, man. He's commenting on journals that were not properly screening the papers they were publishing and were effectively selling space in their pages. There's a huge difference in the quality of journals, and several unscrupulous people have exploited the public's unfamiliarity to their benefit.
At least understand what you're posting about. The actual science regarding climate change, as reported in reputable journals, is at this point nigh irrefutable.

John Bennett
Science can only explain the "how". It cannot explain the "why". That is why the West is so empty. We want science to be our religion, when it is vastly in the dark when it comes tonapirituality (by our Creators design). We don't know why things do what they do but we know how they work, and even the "how" is very theoretical
Conservatives are not neccesarily retarded about science. They know that there isn't really a correlation between c02 and climate change, so they are skeptical about whether or not we are responsible. They are skeptical about theory's.
The modern view of things like evolution is a myth. I say a myth because real scientific evolution is merely a theory about changes. The populist view is that evolution is a fact about improvements, which is a myth. For ever instance of improvement in "evolution", there are ten of degeneration.
>Actual science regarding climate change is nigh irrefutable I saw an article that said that the sun had spots on it that burned more than other spots. We've gotten an increased exposure of such spots recently, or maybe the sun is getting more of those spots. In any case the article made it clear that global warming isn't 100% caused by mankind, if at all.
Oliver Ward
Oh, good point. When someone is an expert in a field, they are trusted for their opinion and expertise. Unless they're a scientist who studies climate change. The average person knows as much or more, right?
Oh, so now science is a leftist conspiracy. Holy shit. Good to see the old stars and stripes are repping themselves admirably by living up to their worst stereotypes.

Dominic Hill
The existence of sunspots was first written about by Galileo over 400 years ago. What's your point? And what is the source of the article? Was it based on research? Was the research reviewed? Were the reviews available with the paper? Was it even a paper, or was is just an article, like you said?
People think scientists just make shit up. It's actually hard work, and getting a paper published takes an enormous amount of work from a huge team of people. The science is good, and the countervailing opinions are just that.

This is the only argument you have. 95% of prediction models have been wrong, temperature has hardly risen, the polar caps are the same size they were 40 years ago, water levels haven't risen, the effects of greenhouse gases were massively overestimated.
How many times do they have to be wrong before you start questioning them?
Owen Long
No, you need to review the credibility of the journal. Just because someone says something doesn't make it true. Journals are no different.
When papers are published in Science, and Nature, you can bet your ass they've gone through round after round of review, and likely took months if not years to get from completion to publication. Meanwhile, if it's in Natura, or any journals likes on this list (scholarlyoa.com/other-pages/hijacked-journals/), it is likely not credible.

The global warming thing is the biggest issue I have with the "left". I'm skeptical due to the shady shit they try to pull with it, like having Leonardo DiCaprio go around shilling for climate change action while he flies around on a private jet to do so. The climate has always been changing and has never been static. In fact we should be happier that the climate is warming rather than cooling; cooling would be disastrous and cause a lot of starvation and death.
I don't deny that climate change is real but I'm skeptical about what causes it, and the left would rather throw away 300 years of human progress on shaky science than to look into it more closely. I used to accept global warming at face value, what I learned in school and was taught on TV about it, but all of these organizations have ulterior motives and I can't trust a god damn thing any of them say anymore. Didn't Al Gore say that by September 2016 the polar ice caps would be completely melted? And isn't it true that there's more ice in the arctic now than in many years?
Yeah... just can't trust a god damn thing these idiots say anymore.

Owen Wilson
Except you don't have any objective conclusions, just a consensus enforced by shaming.
An objective conclusion would lead to a theory with predictive power,
The earth is a complete ecosystem. The amount of ice, water, dry land, etc., is all dependent on consistent conditions from year to year. Hell, human life requires certain conditions. As the temperature rises, the entire balance gets thrown off. 0.5 degrees celsius is a big change, and since the industrial revolution the temperature has been steadily climbing.
Ignoring it, or saying it's not a big deal, only exacerbates the problem.

Elijah Price
it wasn't always like this. climate change denialism is a recent trend in the republican party.
don't believe me? here's John McCain's stance on climate change when he ran for president in 2008:
>Support technology-driven, market-based solutions that will decrease emissions. "We can — and should — address the risk of climate change based on sound science without succumbing to the no-growth radicalism that treats climate questions as dogma rather than as situations to be managed responsibly."
and now compare that to "climate change is a hoax created by the chinese", etc. that exists in the party today. it's one of the major things that puts me off from the republican party. i'm all for being fiscally conservative or whatever, and i don't really give a shit about social issues, but completely ignoring climate change at the cost of the environment is just too much. what happened to conservatives wanting to conserve natural resources?

Juan Rivera
It's the way of evolution. Sure an immediate disaster would be bad, but slow constant change is what Darwinism is all about. As the world changes all life must change with it or perish, it is the natural order of things. Trying to stop this change is comparable to playing god, attempting to maintain the world in the image you want it to have.
Organisms that adapt to living in unique conditions only are doomed from the moment they do so.

The real question is cui bono? What's the punchline? Never that pollution is bad and we should individually do our bit.
The punchline is Al Gore flying around in a private jet lecturing me about the thermostat control in a 1200 square foot house. It's new taxes and (selectively enforced) regulations which will invariably only serve to further raise the barrier of entry into business and stifle competition for the largest players.
Of course there were some leaked emails a while back that pretty much caught the "science" people agreeing to fudge the numbers, and continue to base their "research" around a known false premise because it serves their agenda (justifies their own existence).
