Who defines credible? If I provide you PhDs and studies, what ingredient is necessary to override your confirmation bias? How do you even know what the majority of the scientific c…

RCP 8.5 is, even according to the IPCC, highly highly unlikely. One could say the evidence for that scenario is... not overwhelming, or even whelming. Evidence for "just what" is o…

I know the official reason. I also know the real reason. Honestly, do you think you are fooling anyone?

Except of course, that I am neither alt-right and I have actual experience in science. But don't let that stop you.

I deny creation science. I am a denier.

I deride it based on bad journalism AND bad science. Not all climate science is bad, of course. The kind that takes an RCP of 8.5 with zero chance of happening and uses it as an in…

judith curry has an argument. She can speak for me.

Except the followup inflammatory comments, of course.

I used to evaluate scientific contracts for the federal government. I was lied to on a monthly basis. Scientific fraud is not a thing of the past. It's not even rare. Karl Popper i…

Wrong.

How typical that the downvoting standards are selectively applied.

I'll gladly respond - once someone stops deleting comments from other posters that they don't like. Manipulating the forum is WRONG.

Take two parts physics, four parts advocacy science, and two hundred parts advocacy journalism, and what do you get? In Christian circles, you get creation science. It's cute when …

You compost it.

There's been an odious trend "coaching" as an actual job title lately - promoting cooperation and positive environments as if the acts of just listening and inclusivity can make ev…

After reading this thread, I think I've discovered the real reason new physics isn't being done.

Most of them don't have the education to know the definition of a false equivalence. That you can seriously entertain Republicans would remove black freedoms if not for Black Lives…

I come from a very right-leaning area. I was quite surprised to find that everyone I knew supported the daily killing and torture of Jews... because that is what Nazis do, right? I…

Assuming that the "cure" refers to some form of blasphemy law, then it is actually apropos, although devoid of explanation, sure. I'm assuming you are liberal. Go read Popehat's vi…

It certainly did connect less educated. This is a only part of the picture - the misinformation crisis also involves the miseducated. The quality of our collegiate has been much di…

I wouldn't expect this crowd to believe it even with a solid source.

It is most certainly not fine. Regardless of individual choices to share private data, the platform itself is a large step in the direction of something horrible.

My hat to you, sir. Sometimes, the best incentive for honesty is the punishment of dishonesty.

I wish you luck, amigo. If you get traction, the next two challenges will be to prevent people from gaming your rankings, and to prevent experts with undeserved cultural authority …
