Well maybe if CERTAIN PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA (mostly) and in POLITICS (sometimes) didn't trot out lines to the effect of "Oh, it's summer! and it's hot today! This must be PROOF of global warming!" every summer when it got hot, then we wouldn't get this kind of blowback when it's unexpectedly cold out.
- DanBC 13y agoThere is a problem in scientific reporting. Scientists want to be honest and truthful. People interviewing scientists don't have much scientific understanding, and don't have time to listen to a full answer. And they'll often then turn to someone else providing an opposing viewpoint for "balance". This new person doesn't care about scientific integrity and they're happy to spew their purely opinion based opinion. (And this is ignoring the people paid to provide FUD who ised to work for the tobacco companies and who know use similar tactics to deny clomate change).
