All may think what they may of "climate issues" , fact is = Hydrocarbon burnoff is past peak { not including Puke-burn coalx3-trillion tons-asia reserves+ elsewhere americas} is matter of Health
& Quality of Life issues. ( hey ; nat. geo. quotes : anthropologists
now define Homosapiens as " Hydro-carbon man " ). |

Hey 'monster', having said that what I said , garglegobblegarglegobble , , blows my mind in spring and hot hot summer walking into Wendys or A&W or
Macdonalds or Timmys and observing hordes of autos idling @ drive-thru
waiting for Hot-fries all the while they are cooking the planet into one giant cheese-melt with their stinking cars. Yeah, what's that exclamation? ' non sequitur '. The economy rolls on. |

I disagree. In fact, I believe the opposite to be true. Most entrenched climate change advocates are lazy and gullible. They buy hook-line-sinker into what is being fed through the mass media. Most deniers actually spend much more time, on average, looking into the subject if only to find their counterpoints. That is not to say that their research is valid or correct.
Maybe deniers DO spends as much time researching as advocates. The difference being that if you spent that much time researching the topic of climate change, you'd run into so much scientific empirical knowledge that has held up under decades of scrutiny, that you'd be hard pressed to come to any conclusion other than the fact that we as human beings are having an impact on the global environment. The problem is that, in my belief, the deniers doing the research are going in not to find the truth, but with preconceived notions of the truth they WANT to find... and then they take those tiny nuggets, and write their papers which are published nowhere but partisan magazines such as the one in this thread, since they do not meet the scientific standards of any real magazine. And then? They become source research for other deniers down the road, so now they don't have to look at anything BUT this filtered partisan propaganda to say they've "researched" the topic.
Research is not research if you're not willing to be exposed to the other side of the debate. It's like if I asked you to count how many roses and daisies were in a gymnasium, and you covered your eyes and run through the daisies screaming "there are only roses!!!!!" until you reached the other side of the room and the roses, counted them, and reported that there were forty roses and zero daises. |
