Do we have to revert to "sports" analogies to get Conservatives to understand Global Warming?

Question

Ok. It's like this.
You can't predict if Ichiro is going to get a hit on a certain pitch, but having looked at his stats over a period of seasons, you can predict that he's going to hit over .320 for the season, and probably over .330 for his career. Sure, he'll have some bad days and seasons, but you can predict the overall trend based on previous data spanning the seasons. He's a good hitter even if he struck out 4 times last night. The trend is established by the historical data. And not by what happened in the past few games.

So could you denial freaks please stop expecting scientists to predict "each" hurricane, each day, each month?

Hope the digressive sports reference will help you further understand trends, statistics, and data as they relate to global warming.

You should have learned all of this by the 8th grade anyway.

Answer 1

nice one. i doubt conservatives will ever understand. they don't care and won't care.

Answer 2

Maybe we could resort to "nature" analogies to get Liberals to understand scientific data?

Check it out:

You don't know on a given day exactly how hot it will be, but you know that in the middle of summer will be a heck of a lot hotter than the middle of winter. In general, there is a trend towards warming and cooling over a period of time.

Given a natural 1500 year cycle of weather patterns, would you stop making predictions based on the last 200 years of data?

Answer 3

international warming is a scientific subject. the issue is warm for liberals and chilly for conservatives simply by fact of their factors of view on public coverage. so some distance, the conservatives are relatively triumphing. The movements taken on the assumption of human precipitated international warming have been small and had little if no impact on productiveness and financial strengthen. The variations in human habit have been small and almost none in any respect on a international scale. i think of we are clever to act that way till technology makes a extra appropriate case in the well-known public communicate.

Answer 4

Instead of resorting to analogies why not just provide some actual facts that Global warming can be contributed to man. The fact of the matter is there are far too many variables involved to make this conclusion. Only 20 years ago scientists were certain the "trends" you speak of indicated that the earth would soon be decimated by the effects of Global cooling.

Besides, I'm still too busy trying to fix the hole in the ozone layer.

Answer 5

Here is the problem with your analogy. The approach to the sports story was thorough and took into consideration all factors. Global warming hysteria does not, it simply ignores the Sun activity over the last 100 years, the warming of the oceans that has created the increase of CO2, etc. Nice try though.

Answer 6

not all scientist agree on global warming. If you listen you will hear them talk about consensus by scientist. Consensus isnt science that it self should tell you there is no proof. Yes the earth is warming, but we are not the cause. Its a cycle that happens.
Did you know in 1978 they would warn use of global cooling

Answer 7

If you Global Warming fanatics really believed what you preached then you would live differently, and show the rest of the world how to live. Al gore is the prime example going all over the world expending much more "Greenhouse gasses" then I will in a lifetime, but take yourself for example, how much energy are you using with you computer right now? Maybe that energy comes from nuclear powerwhich is not creating a lot of the so called "greenhouse gasses". More likely it is coming from coal, which creates a lot of gasses. What do drive? How much energy are you consuming? Let me guess everything in your world is solar power. Get a grip.

Answer 8

I saw a similiar question written on a bathroom wall once. It was written in s h i t.

Do you support the idea of global warming? Because if so, you suggest scientists can't predict hurricanes and yet you trust their conclusions on global warming? Your words are contradicting each other. Maybe do a re-write.

Answer 9

Oh, sorry you wasted your question but, rest assured, conservatives are well aware of the global warming issue. We do not need you to speak down for us to "get it"!

Answer 10

They and the wonks that feed them their thoughts are in denial because it's bad for business. You can try to convince them but don't expect quick results.

Answer 11

Not really we deal in facts,... no Al Gore theories. These are the same scientist that predicted the "Great Ice Age" during the 70's and we all see what happened with that,.......Nothing.
