Could the global warming deniers defend the steroid baseball players in court?

Question

Their arguments that humans aren't causing global warming could work for Barry Bonds and all the other baseball players accused of using steroids.

Historically baseball players didn't use steroids; therefore, they can't be using them now.

Past baseball players have been just as strong as today's baseball players.

The baseball players' muscles clearly grew naturally.

The baseball players could just as easily have gotten so much stronger by spending every hour of every day in the weight room.

There's nothing remarkable about the rate that their muscles grew.

What do you think? Maybe one of the global warming deniers with a pretend doctorate could defend the steroid baseball players?

Answer 1

Muscle growth leads steroid use by 800 years so therefore...

Muscle growth is increasing in their upper region but in their lower regions...???...oh we shouldn't go there now!

Answer 2

My take, Dana, with all honesty, is that you are not critical enough of the other scientists in your field and their theory. You must know that there is nothing wrong with denying a theory that observations don't support (AGW). You are too trusting of the theory and I sometimes wonder why you don't see that temperature today is nothing out of the ordinary, and that radical wild variation in climate is perfectly natural. I don't think scientists are stupid, in fact, quite the opposite. I think very smart people are capable of coming up with good reasons to support BAD theories, ESPECIALLY if certain outcomes mean that the funding of their research and jobs will continue. The data really, really, really does NOT support a crisis at all. In a previous post you made clear that you EXPECT ever increasing disaster (food & water shortages, etc.) I really think you should keep an open mind to what John Cristy and others are saying. All the best to you.

Is Gaia on steroids ,
is that what this is all about .?

Personally I think Atlas has a fever.

And the category of Global Warming has gone off the Planet.

Apart from that ,they found the tomb of an Ancient Greek Athlete ,with many jars of oil buried beside him,

Which meant he was rich and,very famous.

Computer projections based on the bones ,put together a man far more superior in build than todays star athletes.

Do you think the Ancient Geeks used steroids or did these extra muscles come from Natural methods????????

I can be as irrelevant as the next guy ,but it changes nothing as too how much we are screwing with the Environment.

A disguised 5th amendment will not absolve us,
Judgment day cometh.

Apart from Shakira ,all of us (or our kids)will end up hot .

Answer 4

Dana you raise a good point. Global warming deniers resort to any means possible to defend there increasingly irrational viewpoint. They are digging themselves deeper and deeper into ignorance, searching for answers anywhere to deny and deny.

See once they accept that anthropogenic climate change is real (global warming) it becomes a moral issue that point and their action is required, for their children and for their friends family, and for the future of humanity itself.

Denial allows them no be indifferent and nonchalant which is what they want altogether

Answer 5

I guess since I'm a skeptic of what is causing climate change, is why I say, I would never defend those men who made millions of dollars, for cheating. If they weren't good enough without taking muscle growing drugs, than they weren't good enough and they should have accepted that.

Answer 6

Wouldn't that depend on what the consensus said? Nothing can be actually proven in science, that why there has to be a consensus. That's the way science works.

;)

Answer 7

They could. Or you could get a clue. Though neither will likely happen.

Answer 8

Yes to your question.

Answer 9

Wow. You're really high on yourself, huh?
