Even here, I'd guess that quite a few firm believers have shifted to at the very least skepticism if not outright disbelief. |

and it used to be that people didn't parrot the party lines too, but kept an open mind
I guess the old days of people voting for what they think is the best candidate are long gone - last election I voted for people from three or four different parties (I do automatically vote for who ever runs against Sheila Jackson Lee) |

So, what we've learned is that a study that was one of the foundations of proof of global warming was based on a study where the data was massaged, the
original data was never released for peer review, and is now lost. And despite this, there was a "consensus of scientists" who believed that global
warming had been proven beyond all doubt.
This is going to be a huge black eye for the scientific community. Despite that, the faithful like UC, spring, Nubber, etc. will be like Fox Mulder and continue to believe. |

That's because Global Warming, er, Climate Change really is a religion to these people. Complete with hypocritical clergy who preach one lifestyle for us, but who jet around the planet to pick up awards for their "awareness'. |

While it's very distressing, unfortunately scientists fudging the data is nothing new. But the Piltdown Man hoax didn't destroy the truth behind
evolution. Merck hiding the real risks of Vioxx doesn't lessen the fact that is was the most effective arthritic medicine on the market. There is other
evidence from other scientists that still suggest that the earth is heating up as a whole and that man is speeding up the process. If you culture a petri dish
with bacteria it eventually dies from it's own toxins. Yet you maintain that a population of nearly 7 billion humans swarming the planet has no effect on
it.
Despite that, the faithful like UC, spring, Nubber, etc. will be like Fox Mulder and continue to believe. Like I said before, it's the rabid right that brings up the religious references, not those that 'believe'. Why does it bother you so that people honestly feel that the current evidence weighs in favor of mankind influenced climate change? I also think the earth is several billions of years old and that stem cells have the potential to usher in a new golden age of medicine the way the discovery of antibiotics did. Does that threaten you as well? |

People who still blindly believe that the current evidence weighs in favor of manmade climate change, even in the face of the newly released OVERWHELMING evidence that the entire idea is a fraud, are justifiably lumped in with the religious nuts who think the Earth is only 3,000 years old. They refuse to see the scientific truth, like the flat-Earthers and Earth-centric universers before them. They are exactly the same sort of stupid. God I wish MadWorm was here so we could rub this shit in her fat fucking face again. |

I'm sure spring has seen the raw data herself and crunched the numbers, otherwise it is faith.

There's still the little matters of the coral reefs dying, the icebergs melting blah blah blah. If you desperately want to believe that this one study -
and it's a serious violation of scientific ethics - throws out the whole climate change theory go right ahead. Really, time will tell which group is
correct and probably sooner rather than later.

I'm sure spring has seen the raw data herself and crunched the numbers, otherwise it is faith. When you go to a doctor and s/he prescribes an antibiotic for your infection is it faith that you think it's going to work? Or just the fact that statistically it has proved itself effective? I mean you didn't brew the stuff yourself so how would you know if it's going to work? |

The guy who lost his data is the goddamn Dalai Lama of climate change. All of the subsequent studies have been based on East Anglia's research, including the IPCC report. If Congress passes that ridiculous Cap and Trade tax after this fiasco, Washington DC should be burned to the ground. |

There is archeological physical evidence that crops were grown and cattle raised in areas of Greenland that are covered in ice right now during the supposedly
hottest time the earth has ever been, but the global warming believers choose to believe the numbers crunched by a scientist pulling ice plugs and having
someone else adjust the data for a plethora of known and unknown variables.
