The scientific community has a track record for bringing a lot of good in the world but also for being wrong quite a lot. Just think about your typical food pyramids. There’s now research that says cholesterol isn’t dictated by the food you eat.
Around climate change as well, there are now talks about some of the changes we are observing being part of the natural cycle of the earth based on core samples. No doubt we’ve made things worse but maybe not as bad as we think.
Isn’t Florida supposed to be under water now?
Also kind of funny top of Reddits environment Reddit had two top threads recently where one was saying we are losing water around some land mass due to climate change and another saying complete opposite. They were right beside another on the feed.
Scientific communities aren’t in consensus about global warming and climate change. I frankly now (being a hardcore believer in the past) am now on the fence about some aspects of it.
I really don’t think we’re as advance a species as some of our ambitions might lead us to think.
You can’t really test stuff like this in a small scale and it could have drastic impact on us as a single planet species. People would be right to be dubious.
Finally don’t be fooled. Scientific community, just like the Engineering field, does shit for their gain. They all fudge the numbers. They all change the lenses to shed light on what they want. This is why we’ve seen some scientific inaccuracies. For example Sugar studies being quashed in the past… I guess also with the vaccines recently lol
It’s condescending to think that a reasonable amount of dubiousism means people think the “wood spirits” will punish us.
- dontlaugh 4y agoIt's remarkable how well the fossil-funded propaganda has worked.
- bhargav 4y agoActually, some of the propaganda artist died of blood clots and aids like conditions when they took the vaccine. Unfortunately, they did not take five booster shots like we did. /s
- vimacs2 4y ago"Some of" meaning a tiny fraction of the total population vs those that suffered no ill effects from the vaccination at all.
- bhargav 4y agoYeah we don’t care about some because they aren’t us or our loved ones
- vimacs2 4y agoAs opposed to the other crowd who callously disregarded the dangers of the virus because it was primarily dangerous to the elderly. I wonder what represents a larger group of people: those at risk from side effects of the vaccination or every human being older than 65?
- 1234letshaveatw 4y agoWhat a clever turnabout! You must have so many reddit points
- vimacs2 4y agoSorry, did you expect everyone to be blown away by the litany of common (and widely debunked) talking points from fossil fuel apologists?
- bhargav 4y agoNothing like the smell of sweet sweet jet fuel in the morning
- bhargav 4y agoThis whole site is a CJ and hypocrisy. We’re all on our devices, made my minors in third world countries, using electricity powered by non renewable resources. My original post was criticizing our blind trust in this research in a complex system that we understand very little of. Rather than changing our ways governments would rather gamble on fucking up the earth all together. Ands… criticizing this, let the tribes of YC means we believe in tree spirits…

- martindbp 4y ago> the changes we are observing being part of the natural cycle I really doubt that is true, but in the end it doesn't matter. We need to climate control the Earth to keep things as static as possible. Even if we discount the doomsday scenarios, the economic and human costs to climate change are staggering.

- arcticfox 4y ago> I guess also with the vaccines recently lol The only mass fraud uncovered was supporting therapeutics, not vaccines, which work exactly as well as they are claimed to. (Go ahead, link the BMJ report about Pfizer, where shoddy practices were reported at a company operating 3/153 test sites). > I really don’t think we’re as advance a species as some of our ambitions might lead us to think. Well…
