This is a perfect example of the pseudo-scientific sentiment that has been cultivated in the non-scientific community.
Assert confidently that real science knows that it is impossible to model anything accurately, and that climate change concerns are guesses that will magically be proven wrong at a later date. Also, pretend that science is about 100% certainty (which it is not) and then judge climate change theories based on that figure.
There is scientific consensus (http://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-scientific-consensus.htm http://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-scientific-co...) that humans are causing global warming, and this is based on climate models developed and refined over decades, from a variety of scientific disciplines.
Yet in the face of this reality people like yourself have no qualms dismissing the science based on their own notions of science and are entirely able to convince themselves that they hold a scientific position.
I think the process is as follows:
1. Construct your own notion of how science works.
2. Dismiss climate science based on 1.
3. Convince yourself you hold a scientific position.
- lmm 14y agoNah, you've got the order wrong. 1. Dismiss climate science because you don't like its conclusions 2. Construct a notion of how science works that lets you do 1 3. Convince yourself you hold a scientific position
- justsee 14y agoAh yes, that makes even more sense! (Although talking about sense in this context doesn't seem appropriate).
