Liberals who believe in man made global warming. Do you also believe in a flat Earth?

Question

Both were scientific consensus at one time.

LOL! at those who deny that flat Earth was scientific consensus.

It was also scientific consensus that the Earth was the center of the universe.

Answer 1

It's not???...Aw hell!

Answer 2

all the flat earth insults are juvenile!
That man has yet to ever predict weather events with 100 percent accuracy let alone precision should be the clear need to view global warming with a giant dose of skepticism.
Even non scientists understand that saying something is true or fact is not always accurate.
---Since NO result of ANY "study"/report/theory is considered VALID UNLESS it it BOTH accurate & precise, the global warming crowd have a long way to go...
Correlation DOES NOT PROVE causation. A chart/data that that correlates the rise in obesity is directly related to the introduction and consumption of fast food Data is not proof!! -because I can also produce a study that correlates the rise in obesity to the introduction of the automobile & the invention of the refrigerator...
Half or more of the "Global Warming studies " studies/reports include mythical adjustment (math)factors, do not REPRODUCE the same data when independently tested or with a different form of extraction or measurement tool , investigators chose to add or ignore variables which can seriously skew their "results/conclusions". etc
-->VALIDITY requires precision (reproducibility) ..we know water can also exist as ice and vapor because it has been validated many time using many methods. To date NO one has proven anything except that various therories have been offered...questioned ..rejected or under "review' ..
What was a belief (eg flat earth, stars were gods, etc) were in time proven false.. its like saying that the favorite food of children is a hamburger because there IS (scientific)data reports(surveys) that "prove" the conclusions.. hamburgers might be the favorite for the group (of American kids) surveyed at "x" location...but is it a valid statement about the kids food choice in India?? How come jimbob's data on ice core X doesnt correspond to mickymoo's data on the same or a different ice core or air sample or ......Who'se "fuzzy ,math model is accurate or simple a "good fit that will please their sponsors that provide funding??
Knowledge is a growing thing not a theory that seems to fit.
maybe there is a volcano god,or the old frost giants are due to reawaken like the locusts who rest for xxx years...
Global warming is a classic ..".the sky is falling" or.." unless you change your ways , xxx will happen, or my way is the true path or most pleasing to xx deity -my way or the highway or in more recent lore..comply or die

Answer 3

Actually, the flat-Earth scientific illiterate usually "believe" that man-made global warming *isn't* happening. There's a substantial overlap between creationists and those who reject AGW, for example. The vast majority of actual scientists believe (and I use the word "believe" here in the sense of "have, through reason, concluded that this is true" rather than the sense of "have faith in") that global-warming-caused climate change is occurring, and that global warming is due to anthropogenic greenhouse gasses.

Answer 4

I don't believe in the words global warming or a flat Earth. I do believe in mans effect on climate,it's common sense that we impact our environment. Nothing new about that, Ben Franklin understood mans actions can effect the climate. Which if you know anything about the man,it is hard to argue with his research and studies.

Answer 5

The current global warming hysteria (some would say religion) is nothing more than the old style commie-liberalism geared toward social engineering and the control of individual lifestyles. (Not to mention Gore making a fortune from trading "carbon credits" while he zips around in a private jet)

Those of us old enough to remember the 1970's will recall a less organized, but no less zealous bunch of pseudoscientists and Hollywood types (led by Cheer's Ted Danson) who were crowing about global COOLING and the impending next ICE AGE!!!!

I read recently that 1939, not 1996 was the hottest year on record. Hmmmm.....

Answer 6

If the earth were flat, there'd be no reason to believe in global warming since most of the evidence is at the poles.

Answer 7

Can you actually show us ANY scientific evidence that the warming we see can ONLY be explained by natural radiative forcing?

Didn't think so.

And to correct you; earth being flat was a church dogma, not a scientific consensus.

Oh, and for those who still believe the film "The Global Warming Swindle", you might want to do your homework. NOTICE that in the film their charts showing the correlation between solar cycles and warming stop in the 1970's. This was very curious to me when I first saw the film. Why would they leave out the last 30 years in their charts UNLESS THE CORRELATION FELL APART AT THAT TIME. Sure enough, it did.

Answer 8

Tell me exactly when anyone ever produced a scientific theory that stated the Earth was flat - this was never science it was superstition - the same thing conservatives who believe in creationism rely on to reject science there as well.
Both of the examples you give were religous dogma - not scientific consensus. When Galileo pointed out the church was wrong they tortured him. Now when science comes in the way of right wing ignorance they at least have moved beyond torture - but still do thier best to discredit it in the name of continued denial.

Answer 9

They believe the earth ought to be flat, in fact they believe that life, the economy, freedoms, prosperity, happiness all ought to be flat and their goals is to flatten the living hell out of everything they touch.

Tell them that poverty and slavery are also man made stuff and that you prefer the warmth of freedom and prosperity to the deep freeze of liberalist poverty and slavery.

Answer 10

Yeah I know what you mean.. These theories are so silly...These are probably the same people who thought Osama Bin Laden was going to attack on 9/11... When will they ever learn and stop wasting our time with their liberal views.

Answer 11

I think liberals have become members of the flat earth society. They are ignoring scientific data that shows CO2 does not change global temperature.

New studies indicate the sun is driving temperature changes, not humans.

Also, NASA has proven the sun caused the world to leave the great ice age in less than 20 years. That is extremely fast from a geological standpoint.

In the 1900's, CO2 increased while temperatures fell for over 20 years. This is 5 minute documentary on climate change.

Many English schools are now forbidden from playing "An Inconvenient Truth" in classrooms. There are over 10 misleading mistakes in the movie and most of the "mistakes" look like they were put in the movie on purpose.

One scientist predicts a deep freeze by 2060. Complex analysis of climate change is predicting global cooling.
"the Earth will be facing a slow decrease intemperatures in 2012-2015. The gradual cooling will reach itsmaximum by 2040, and lead to a deep freeze around 2050 to2060."
