What if you were a global warming scientist?

Question

You spent your whole life studying science, you devoted yourself to it like a religion in order to help mankind. While others were out binge drinking you stayed home studying thermodynamics, kinetics, and quantum mechanics. While most were sleeping you were awake, plugging differential equations into computer simulators. And now those same people who were out binge drinking are telling you that you don't know what your talking about, your making it up to get grants. These hannity sheep think they know more science than you, an mit graduate. How would you hold yourself back?

Answer 1

if you're talking about the IPCC report saying that human-induced global warming is 90% probable, that has nothing to do with confidence intervals...and even if it did, the IPCC wanted to write the report with a 99% likelihood of human induced global warming but gave into political pressure from China to lower it.

Answer 2

Undoubtedly, I would unscrew the cap on the tequila and proceed to get thoroughly faced. Then I would start figuring out how to warn the world about global cooling. Leak to the press that certain Bush cabinet members are major stock holders in Central Heating Companies that stand to make billions as the mean temperature starts to drop. I would submit script to the O'Reilly Factor ranting about how liberals are responsible for global cooling. That's why so many live in states that have snow. I would also show that without a doubt, Alec Baldwin is a closet conservative, Sean Penn graduated Harvard, and Susan Sarandan was the blessed virgin incarnate.

But that's just me.

Answer 3

I would just make something else up.I would binge drink,but tell everyone i was home studying thermodynamics,kinetics,and quantum mechanics.While most are awake i will be sleeping dreaming of plugging differential equations into computer simulators until they show the results i want,but never the facts.And while those others are working hard i will be binge drinking with those with the purse strings so they will be drunk enough to approve my fantasy grant.And then i will watch Hannity so i will know the truth.Not just what i make up every 30 years.

Answer 4

they are hiding the undeniable fact that they are incorrect. possibly slightly extra "oversight" could help. companies are required to have audits. or perhaps then companies nonetheless ruin out with undesirable accounting techniques and cooking books. yet who tests in on the scientist or their findings? Does anybody see a conflict of interest with "peer overview"? Like asking Enron to do an inner audit of itself. i'm going to be guffawing the day while the international warming bubble bursts.

Answer 5

That would be terrible but it is other scientists that are debunking the "man caused it" idea. Look at it another way. If this person spent a lifetime studying global warming and it became widely known that man is not the primary cause, his income would stop.

Answer 6

Because the data these scientists are presenting is cherry picked. The chose the year that it was a record low temps and record high snow fall and compared them to record high temps and record low snow fall. On top of that they used a 90% confidence interval. Any researcher knows it is normal to use a 95% CI. What this shows is they couldn't even get the desired results from picking the years, but they had to lower their standards as well to be able to tell you what you want to hear, and to keep those grants a comin.

Lets not forget that Congress, and even Hillary, believed the same intel as Bush, besides WMD's have nothing to do with this question, and Iraq has nothing to do with the price of gas.

Answer 7

The really striking thing is that most of the people who reject it do it out of hand.

Its like EXXON was paying a LOT of people to argue with, if not science, then AT LEAST REASON.

Global warming. Sounds like it would take a lot of $$$ to direct our attention of the possible death of our planet.

OHH BY THE WAY---Lets NOT forget the anti-global warming Bush Administration CHERRY PICKED EVIDENCE OF wmDS THAT allow $4 a gallon gasoline!!

Answer 8

Global Warming is a fallacy to throw us off world issues relating to One world govt.
It isn't global warming, its global cooling, then again, i don't think anyone noticed that it is unusually cool-snowing cold this year so close to summer.

As I recall the conference in Washington on Global Warming was canceled this year due to snow.

Answer 9

I'd chuckle and tell myself, just wait and see.

Answer 10

Yep, Bush & Rove have always been hevey drinkers! lol
