Seriously? This is HN, there are plenty of climate skeptics here, and I would guess that 0-5% of them listen to Rush Limbaugh or similar. Perhaps they are simply people with a scientific mind and came to different conclusions after evaluating the evidence independently?
- polotics 9y agoThe word "simply" sadly does not apply to climate modelling, reaching conclusions simply usually means lots of confirmation bias, and a foregone output. How do you know there are plenty of any opinion on HN?
- DiNovi 9y agoHe's projecting his own skepticism onto others; assuming since he reached his conclusion "many others" must have as well.
- vilmosi 9y agoNo, I'm pretty sure they are all listening to Rush Limbaugh or similar characters as there is no-one else in the world thinking this to be true. If you follow all their links, they all converge to a few right wing, US based, sources. I know this is a broad generalisation, but in this case, I believe it to be true.
- mikeash 9y agoSeriously. Of the ones whose media habits I've found, it's always like that. That doesn't apply to HN. I rarely if ever figure out what the commenters here are watching or listening to. But I would be surprised if they were much different.
