No worries. And good on you for being a good sport!

   

In any case those two or three little chuckles at the expense of Progressivisim happened about 5 pages ago. What happened PD? Did the alert light not function in your bedroom or something? Quick, somebody has called somebody a Progressive some time in the past. Alert Public Domain. Time for rants and hate and insults in case there's ranters, haters or insulters about calling people Progs and such. We can then all sleep safe in our beds tonight.

   

   

Why? Did you want the serious version? Very well, but it's going to make you pout.

Progressivism is regressive. Ignore that and society will find itself engaging in self destructive activity like creating cult figures out of empty headed, mercenary, hypocrites like David Suzuki.

   

   

Starting another flame war are we?

   

Who said you were? I'll say one thing though. For a guy who doesn't want to believe the word has any significance you sure do seem to be sensitive about it?

   

Yeah, cuz those are the only other scientists. So now I suppose you're suggesting that even those whose disciplines involve understanding climate, like those scientists that do things like look at rocks or fossil records, have no valid input?
10,000 surveys went out. A whopping total of 96 "climate scientists" responded.
I'm not suggesting there's 10,000 climate scientists out there(maybe there is I dunno) but I'm willing to bet their numbers are rather higher than just 96.


Well, based on my taking 4 years of welding and metallurgy in high school, and the years I worked for Canada's largest welding supplier at the time, starting at age 13, what I DO know for certain is if you asked 10,000 ticketed welders your question, you'd get a helluva lot more than 96 definitive answers

By the way, when did welding become a religion?

   

   

You made your own bed, Chiach.

   

Then it's not 'progressivism' is it? Progressiveism has brought about things like equality for women and child labour laws, and I don't see those as 'regressive'.

   

All scientists have valid input. But I don't expect someone who studies something completely unrealted to Climatology to be able to have an informed opinion about Climatology. Geologists might have input, it all depends on their dicipline.

But since there was a study of all reports analyzing climate change, and it found that 96% of reports about climate change say the Earth is warming faster than is has in the past, and that it's our fault; I'm willing to accept that conclusion until I have a chance to go through the reports and see if I can discredit them. Which will be never. I don't have that kind of time.

Which I suspect is where most of those 10,000 surveys went.



As I said, I didn't recall you mentioning it. It was just an example I could use from recent experience. I could just as easily used your experience playing the Bassoon.

The point being though, that not everyone of a certain profession needs to believe the results of a study or to hold an opinion for the conclusion of the study to be true.

Global Warming is a serous issue but when you Clowns like Gore and Suzuki appointing themselves as the experts, well.
