You basically found the one publication saying "Vaccines cause autism" while 1,000,000 different independent ones say "No they don't".
This is just willful ignorance. We're having "Once-in-a-hundred-year" floods, fires, droughts and hurricanes every few years now. The Mississippi is at historic lows. Temperatures everywhere are at historic highs. Basically every measure of temperature, weather and rainfall everywhere is something like "7 of the top 10 extremes in recorded history have been in the last decade".
- claytongulick 4y agoNot really. That's just an easy one to Google, there are tons of other examples that are easy to find if you look. Any time I've looked past the news articles and looked at actual extreme weather frequency going back the past 100-200 years, the results have all pretty much been consistent. There's great science out there for reconstructing stream flows (drought indicator) based on tree rings, for example, that can take you back to the 1600s. The early 1900s, for example, were a nightmare climate-wise, and the 30s killed a crazy number of people. "Willful ignorance"? Care to rephrase?
- taolegal 4y ago> This is just willful ignorance. If it's just a matter of calling your opponent names, you're being hysterical. What he said isn't willful ignorance. Humanity has never been safer from extreme weather and has never been more able to adapt to changes. You'll see this reflected in the number of people dying in countries with access to reliable energy over a century or so.
