tell us again how science proves there are 63 genders, no differences between coherent sets of people who look similar called races, and how male and female brains on average are identical.

I fucking hate everything about trannies, that being said, gender is a social and mental construct. Therefor, there are as many genders as you can think of

>no differences between coherent sets of people who look similar called races

What is genetics? Citation for a scientific study that concludes this?

>>730634112
There's a man in office in america right now that is breaking the epa apart and has said multiple times that climate change is a hoax. Not to mention he wants to bring back COAL. If there wasnt a significant anti science trend around, drumpf wouldnt be in office. Also, if it was generally agreed upon that science is good and whatnot, there would be no need for a march for science

>>730632863

>>730634226

>>730634597
You finally figured out how the world works.

bill nye is hardly even a real scientist, yet he lectures people on pseudoscience like the idea that there's many genders? his background is in mechanical engineering ffs. I do believe in climate change though.

>>730632863
>don't believe in climate change
>anti-science
It's like this:
That image macro you always see that says 97% of all studies etc etc specifically states that it's 97% of all studies done between 1991 and 2012. But in 2014, scientists realized that earlier estimates of what the CO2 levels were in the carboniferous period were actually way too low. When we thought the +10 degree global average temperature of the Jurassic period was caused by CO2 levels of 600ppm, that made our current levels of 400ppm seem pretty drastic. But now we know that it was actually 1800ppm, over 4 times our current levels, that caused that 10 degrees.

Simply put, while it is a fact that recent temperatures have been gradually increasing, the ratio of CO2 to temperature increase is drastically out of proportion in the data from which all of those 97% of studies were based on.

BUT by this point we have people who went into debt for college to specialize in what they thought was an impending catastrophic event. We have people who have put themselves on a moral high-horse believing themselves to be championing the cause of saving the earth from Captain Planet villains. And to get those people to process the fact that the information those decisions were based on was flawed is tantamount to getting someone to admit they've wasted their entire life on a mistake. So anyone who points out the fact that the data is errant must be painted as being in complete denial of the weather outside so they can maintain their belief that they are valiantly pursuing an absolute truth of the highest importance.
>so you don't think CO2 is affecting the temperature?
Of course it is. But not as drastically as people in the 90's thought.
>but the temperature is RISING and BLUE WATER EVENT and DESOLATE LIFELESS EARTH
Again, the CO2 levels have been almost 5x our current level before, and guess what happened *after* that?
HINT: IT WAS AN ICE AGE.

>>730634597

Don't worry about your pic OP. Bill Nye, is indeed a scientist.
As for why so many people are anti science, it's because, for a certain group of people, it's become almost fashionable to be ignorant.
If you look at people with extreme political views, on both the left and right, you find endless examples of people cherry picking data to suit their beliefs. On the far right, you see this a lot with climate change, race, and economics. On the left, it's far more concentrated on social issues, which are already murky areas of science, such as gender, sexuality and child rearing.
It's simply easier to say Science is bullshit than it is to face the fact that you could be wrong.

I think that man-made environmental degradation can lead to changes in weather patterns, and aside from weather changes there are other obvious reasons why we would want to curtail man's impact on the environment. I think man-made global warming was a bit of a myth, and that the sun primarily drives our planet's temperature. I think science has completely missed the mark on the unifying force of nature, which drives our weather patterns and whatnot, and they've missed it because (((they))) fund academia and issue grants to research that maintains the status quo. It also doesn't help that autists have taken over physics and replaced actual science with mathematics, so that all the formulas they come up with that look really beautiful on paper may have no real world application. (((They))) also issue the most prestigious awards to themselves and others who unwittingly lead science in the wrong direction.

Anyway, I absolutely detest Christianity and blame it for holding back progress, almost as much as I hate leftists for leading "progress" down this path of multiculturalism, decadence and degeneracy. I hate that my choices are one or the other for the future of this country, and even if we beat the communists into submission all I'll have to look forward to is some Christian theocracy. Life sucks everywhere in the world. I wonder (((who))) could be to blame?

not conservative but evolution just seems like mass brainwashing to me. no one i've seen has a compelling reason why chimps turned into a completely different species. that's a huge leap from darwin's original theory. no one has explained where the changes in DNA in humans comes from. they just look at the most closely related species and say we must have "naturally evolved" from it without an understanding of the method. that's like child reasoning. just say you don't know like a respectable person

I watched a really good neil degrasse tyson vid recently, talked about how we cant talk about these problems in a political sense until we acknowledge that they are indeed problems.

If people acknowledge that these are indeed problems, but have an opposing viewpoint to it, Im completely fine with that. What im particularly against is those who say climate change is a scam made by al gore to jew us hardworkin muricans out of our shekkels, and die hard creationists.

again- you don't understand deduction- to be generous

>>730632863
Ok, real reasons.

In the olden days, before the internet, scientists would do research, then submit their findings for peer review by other scientists to critique. Work that pass peer review was generally accepted. Other scientists then continued research, sometimes confirming and sometimes overturning previously agreed ideas. It was an ongoing process.

Normal people, accepting that they didn't have scientific knowledge or training, accepted the findings of scientists. They were smart enough to know what they didn't know. There was trust in scientists, who were good at keeping their house in order. After all, all the technical progress of the last couple of hundred years, that had lead to the industrial revolution, the treatment of once common diseases and the space race had all come from science.

Then the internet was created, and every no-nothing dumbshit suddenly had access to all the information in the world. But rather than making them smarter, it meant that they could find other idiots who posted random bullshit, which they would take as evidence for their own dumb ideas. There was no peer review for such ideas. They were just made up. Suddenly everyone was a fucking expert on everything, just so long as it agreed with their own prejudices. Smart-pants Scientists, with the precise methods and actual knowledge were seen as elitists. Why listen to intelligent people who might have bad news we don't want to hear, when some bozo online says it's all fine, and all scientists are crooks?

And that's how we go to where we are now.

Ok science boy but what you left out of your equations were the mass extinctions caused by these cycles. A global average of just 10 degrees one way or the other means a world of difference. Just a few degrees C and a little more carbon making the ocean more acidic is devastating to marine life.

Once again, check your 97% image macro (I just KNOW you have it saved) and see that it specifies that it only counts data from 2012 and earlier. That isn't me saying scientists are crooks, that's you refusing to accept the possibility that new information rendered old theories irrelevant. Why would anyone in 2017 who's trying to make a point about scientific research deliberately use a cut-off period half a decade old? What possible purpose could disregarding the last five years of study serve if you're actually right? Wouldn't "1991-Present" be both more impressive AND relevant?

"there is no empirical evidence provising causation between human action and climate change"

for this to be true, this would mean that human alteration of the chemical composition of the atmosphere does not change its thermodynamic properties.

humans are altering the chemical composition of the atmosphere (irrefutable, apolitical)

altering the chemical composition of a gas alters its thermodynamic properties (irrefutable, apolitical)

these alterations may lead to large scale climate disruptions etc (possible, atmospheric modeling is difficult, apolitical)

we should alter the ways we produce and consume energy in order to avoid human-caused climate disruption, for the sake of preserving humanitys ability to survive (political)

denying any of the first three points is unscientific. politics/opinion can only enter the discussion when discussing a course of action.

all it would take is some charlatan to come up to them mumble some official sounding pseudoscience nonsense and they'd be convinced of the fake cure,

>>730638316
no evidence. big surprise.
Now, I don't pretend to know what every scientist is doing globally. But I know that they all do it for different reasons, and different combinations of reasons. And there are probably more scientists working today than ever before, in countless different fields.
Only an arrogant fool would make the assumptions you have with nothing to back them up.

>mass extinctions caused by these cycles
What's your point? Species go extinct ever day, that's how evolution works. Things mutate, shit changes, some mutations allow continued survival, some don't. The list of species that have gone extinct is quite a bit longer than the list of species that currently exist, and you can bet your extra chromosome that as time rolls on many more species will be added to the "currently existing" list and many species will be moved from the "currently existing" to the "extinct" list. That's been happening for millions of years, the idea of stopping that is totally unreasonable.

People make studies and produce results and 'the world' waits for 20+ years, for their pattern to expire and then they might use it.

each fucking professor has like 6-7 Phds.

Do u think they put the appropriate time needed for all this research on their own..? A respectable amount of those researches is either 'shady'(deadend-wonnabe study) or some professor stole the job from his younger employer.

Not against science, but just against junk science that people refer to as science because they need grant money or funding or something. Scientists are not above manipulating data and putting out false results to get grant money. They are human just like everyone else and are subject to the same temptations as all other humans. They must put out some kind of results.... or lose funding. Would you not manipulate data or bend results if not doing so meant you don't get paid for your job? Don't tell me you wouldn't.

Actually they have. As our DNA is replicated, sometimes errors occur, which are then replicated. If the change is beneficial and gives the chimp with the change an advantage it will be more likely to survive and have more descendants. Some people have a tough time getting their head around that because the periods of time overr which it occurs are so long. Look at bacteria which reproduce much more rapidly. Where do you think new strains of flu come from?

fuck aussies man. they crawl all over the industry like rats with dopey accents.

i did summer internships in the geology dept doing ground penetrating radar stuff. totally not applicable to what i do today, but it at least gave me something to talk about in interviews.

my uni didnt have a geophysics program though. if yours has one, and they are the best in uk, there is probably a pretty established pathway from first year dorms to bp or something.

the best thig you can do is do well at whatever internships/projects you take on. you wont emerge from any uni program with exactly the right skillset (unless you do strictly cs stuff and go jnto software dev). but if you have a track record of doing good work, a company is more likely to invest in you.

Talking to a hard core liberal about global warming is an insult to my intelligence.
They almost always devolve into hateful name calling zero who only excel at intellectual dishonesty. They have lost this issue and society has gained. You will never gain or make a point they will concede.

I might just stick with comp sci and phys though, wanna learn both, but im not sure how employable it's gonna be

They do offer masters in geophysics though

You're making several erroneous suppositions here.
First and foremost, the "97 figure" is exclusive to studies done between 1991-2012 based on samples taken before and during that time. That figure IS accurate. Those studies all agree with each other because they were all based on the same set of sample data. Of COURSE they agree with each other.

And I didn't cite a study of climate change, I referenced an analysis of CO2 levels in the Jurassic period. Studies are done based on samples, they aren't the same thing. All you have to do is google "Jurassic CO2 levels" and every article you'll see will agree with the 1500-1800ppm. And Every science textbook you've ever seen (outside of that creationist museum at least) has agreed that there was an ice age after that.

You won't google it, though. You'll stick to your supposition that you are right, because actually checking would endanger the moral high ground you believe you have and expose you to the possibility of facing the fact that you've been crusading over a mistake.

Again, there are different times we need to consider. Science then allowed comfort and security, science I am using right now is more than 100 years old if not older. Its a different science we are getting right now, all we get right now is enhanced wars or toys, medciine the people cant afford. Youve seen teh prothesis that one little girl was using? She wont get it, it just a model. it will be sold for a very high price until the econimical structure allows a low cost production which will not happen because the resources arent getting more plentiful. Science is inherently neutral, we hope to have a use for it, but in the end of the day, economy decides and science delivers only what economy demands. Economy is led by rich people boogymen who dont give a fuck about simple people therefore, we , simple people dont profit from ir therefore, science is useless.

Well, the only thing in which I disagree with Bill Nye is what he said about genders, probably did it because is a trending topic among milennials and libtards

In regards to the multitude of genders, just think about what freaks humans are. As far as we know, we're the only creatures in the universe capable of complex thought. We've only recently started seriously and methodically exploring and analyzing that both physically and psychologically. Human beings are complicated in ways we're only beginning to understand, and what we know seems to just be the tip of the iceberg.

I get it. SJW loud-mouths who tell you to mind your pronouns and call you cis male scum because you're straight and want to fuck women are annoying. I hate them too. But given how short life is and how much more we still have to learn, would it hurt to keep an open mind and accept that things aren't simple, black-and-white, cut-and-dry?

Papers take a long time to write, and way longer to gather evidence. 2014 is 3 years ago thats as recent as it needs to be.

Hey doesn't know much except about being just like you op.

I'm a conservative currently attending college. I cannot say either way if humans are solely responsible for climate change, because I haven't studied it enough to know, and finding pictures and shit on the internet is usually biased and therefore untrustworthy. However I do believe we play a part. I also firmly believe in evolution, but then again the idea of creation is religious, not political.

>>730632863
Not anti-science, Mr Nye. Anti-technology. Science is transparent. Technology is being used for world domination and that is unacceptable.

It's not just about whether people believe or not. The truth should be real whether you have "Faith" or beliefs, or if you are skeptical. When they start treating people with different beliefs the same way the Spanish Inquisition of the dark ages treated people, they are wrong. Whether they are factually wrong or not, the scientific "Ministry of Truth" has turned into something rotten.

I fucking knew you would bring up le funny smarphone is future meme and while I already aggreed that science is productive, its primitive and of no use per se. You jsut dont seem to aknwoledge that science as it is right now, is misused for means that grant ultimativly a negative outcome or have no means what so ever for the simple folk. What use has a smartphone if the society doesnt teach us to utilize it correctly, what use has the internet. And even that is debateable, science is a slave of the economy and economy demands destruction. Your two examples dont unfuck the current state of the world and the tool, the greatest tool, being misused and held back.

>>730632863
Climate change: it's politicized. Dems want to use the issue to hamstring industry and tax trillions for "solutions."

It's not climate change that is the issue so much, as it is the degree of CC and the effect humans are having. Getting caught monkeying with the figures doesn't help. Also, the implication that somehow Repubs are responsible for it is evident.

Climate Change is the dems' own "red scare" or zombie apocalypse:

"Give us lots of money and total control over your economy and we'll fix it."

Anon...seriously.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is google "jurassic CO2 levels" and "current CO2 levels".
Don't trust me. Don't trust ANYONE.
Look it up yourself.
If CO2 levels of 400ppm (the current) had any chance of causing runaway greenhouse effect, then it would have happened long before we ever even evolved.

The debate is really about what will happen if conservatives were to admit the science was correct, what could we do?

Well the idea from the liberals to is have more government control of our energy, especially electricity. The end result is much higher electricity prices to reflect the actual cost of creating it. (Not just the business costs, but the environmental costs factored into price as well.)

Eventually our prices will be as high or higher than Europeans who pay up to 3x times more than USA.

So do we want to protect the environment, clean up CO2 and have very high energy prices....or do we want low electricity costs and less governmental regulation?

Nothing wrong with proven science that has gone through the scientific method
Thesis>theory>experiment>peer review>data>proof

A lot of "science" these days though is stuck at the "theory" stage with no conclusive studies, data or proof to back it up, and we are being told to take it as fact.

Yeah, about that "97%" that folks like to throw around:
So why, to this day, do people still routinely hear the talking point “97% of scientists agree” when it comes to global warming?

In 2013, Australian scientist John Cook - author of the book Climate Change Denial: Heads in the Sand - analyzed 12,000 abstracts (summaries of studies) and claimed “97% of climate papers stating a position on human-caused global warming agree global warming is happening and we are the cause.” [*1]

The problem? His method of review was so unthoughtful that it entirely distorted the results. Using the qualifier “papers taking a position,” Cook subjectively identified 34 percent of the papers as having supposedly expressed an opinion on anthropogenic climate change, and of that 34%, since 33% appeared to endorse anthropogenic climate change (in his assessment), he then divided 33 by 34 and got 97%.

But as the National Review points out, “When David Legates, a University of Delaware professor who formerly headed the university’s Center for Climatic Research, recreated Cook’s study, he found that ‘only 41 papers’ of the 11,944 had endorsed what Cook claimed they endorsed.”

That’s only 0.3% of all 11,944 papers or “1% of the 4,014” that had specifically expressed an opinion.

In addition, “several scientists whose papers were included in Cook’s initial sample also protested that they had been misinterpreted.” [*2]

The "Science" movement today has all the hallmarks of a medieval religion.
Demagogues preaching to the converted.
Infallible prophets you're not allowed to question.
Heresy and heretic labeling.
And scariest of all, attempts to use of the levers of power in government to enforce the doctrine.

>climate change is real
>believe me, I'm the same guy who says there are 1000 genders

Yea no

Funny how lefties always claim to be so edgy and le atheist free thinkers but then are afraid to ask, "hey what if global warming is actually a bunch of bs?"

Maybe provide some solid proof of your assertion in order to convince others.

I don't have any problem with these climate change deniers. They're entitled to their opinions.

>>730646215
The “97 percent” statistic first appeared prominently in a 2009 study by University of Illinois master’s student Kendall Zimmerman and her adviser, Peter Doran. Based on a two-question online survey, Zimmerman and Doran concluded that “the debate on the authenticity of global warming and the role played by human activity is largely nonexistent among those who understand the nuances and scientific bases of long-term climate processes” — even though only 5 percent of respondents, or about 160 scientists, were climate scientists. In fact, the “97 percent” statistic was drawn from an even smaller subset: the 79 respondents who were both self-reported climate scientists and had “published more than 50% of their recent peer-reviewed papers on the subject of climate change.” These 77 scientists agreed that global temperatures had generally risen since 1800, and that human activity is a “significant contributing factor.”

Ok, Ill try to explain it that way.Your fucking iphone doesnt do anything for most of the people because most of the third world cant even afford it. If the science, a tool, isnt used to help people, but only a part of the chosen society, it has no use, especially, if it is misused. Your iphone, is useless and could have been produced in 50 years after the tool, science, has helped the ones who need it the most. it cant, because its a slave of some moneymonkeys, you are effectivly protecting moneymonkeys for a glorified toy. You are the product of a sick society and ultimativly, the protector of the end. In the end, there will be no science ebcause the greatest tool, greater then science, is the human but science isnt working for it, its working against it. How fucking dense are you? Have you ever left you bubble, just for once seen the shit thats going on in the world. how is a smartphone or the internet helpful? How is medicine, that is only acting when money talks, helpful for the aids sick and cancer sick? How does it stop poverty or hunger. It doesnt, because its misused, you are a discgrace and a waste of word. i am ashamed to be your species.

Re: global warming

Not denying global temperatures are rising, that is a fact, the data is there.

There is however no evidence that directly correlates the heating of the planet to be directly caused by man/humans and co2 emissions.

There are many instances in the past of the earths history, where there were drastic changes in global temperature, wether it be warming or cooling, that were not caused or affected by man-made co2 emissions, when there was no human civilisations at all, or we were all just living in caves around campfires.

Until otherwise proven to be 100% fact, the correlation between human co2 emissions and rise/change in global temperature is nothing more than circumstantial.

>>730646695
But I dindu nuffin, nor claimed what i dindu was dun correct.

>>730632863
I believe in climate change. I see it happen and it affect where I live.

I do not believe in evolution. School taught me about it, teachers did not answer my questions, and instead told me "I would be left behind" if I didn't come to accept it. The teachers I looked up to treated me like shit. It was like the catholic school teachers I hear about. People would rather call me a stupid bitch than explain to me the process. I believe in species adaptation, but until I see evolution on the scale of neanderthal-to-human, I'll just keep on keeping to myself.

I don't understand why so may people think "you don't believe in evolution? we can't be friends, you're anti-science"

No, I just don't believe one aspect science teaches.

Stop being a cunt like the religious fanatics you hate so much and let me live my damn life

Look at the bright side. Life in Greenland, Alaska, Canada, and Russia will improve considerably.

I'm a conservative myself, and I do believe in climate change and evolution. I don't know why other conservatives don't believe the same stuff. I fucking love science, I'm an aspiring theoretical physicist. Anyway, I do agree that there are many braindead conservatives who are ignorant towards facts, such as climate change and evolution. I'm conservative because I agree with the economic aspect of conservatism, however I do hold core beliefs of liberal social policy, such as pushing for LGBT rights.

>>730646968
>Your fucking iphone doesnt do anything for most of the people because most of the third world cant even afford it

Yeah I got your point a while ago, but it seems to me that you have a problem with social and political structure. So should we stop all scientific advancements and all the other shit we're doin right now to fix this corrupt planet? I see where you're going with this, but just because the world is fucked up doesnt mean we shouldnt make it subjectively less fucked for those with the privilege to enjoy it, and subjectively less fucked to those without said privilege to a lesser extent
