Worse, it’s ...That childish argument really sucks. Worse, it’s a disingenuous distraction. <br /><br />Earl, why are you a preacher for ‘willful ignorance’ and parroting other’s misleading PR talking points?<br /><br />What matters is learning about the facts of climate science for ourselves. Instead, you’re telling people to run away from self education. I say that because it’s exactly what your silly argument is all about.<br /><br />Humanity was supposed to be engaged in a serious collective constructive learning process and dialogue. Learning about our planet’s geophysical realities and atmosphere, oceans, cryosphere and biosphere, the things that supply our life support systems is a first base requirement. Only then can we soberly deal with the growing disruptions and challenges of our shrinking warming world.<br /><br /><br />But Earl rather play distraction, ridicule, dishonest trivial pursuits. The slightest good faith homework makes it clear that the 97%, he complains about, actually does have a solid statistical foundation, and the studies do stand up to closer scrutiny. <br /><br />More important it’s beside the point. Learning what the scientists have learned is what matters!<br /><br /><br />But it requires curiosity, imagination and a willing to actually learn about it.<br /><br />Earl A Decker, have you ever actually tried to understand who our global heat and moisture distribution engine operates? Or the evolution that created it?<br /><br />Ever try to understand what CO2 is all about? <br /><br />Or about how US Air Force scientists learned about Atmospheric Greenhouse Gases? Only to be followed by many other nations* working independently, because it was a military secret since that knowledge was required to make air to air heat seeking missiles successful - *who came up with the same information because it's simple physics? Have you learned anything about heat circulation through our oceans and atmosphere with its jet stream pushing and pulling weather system across the planet’s surface? It’s all amazing fascinating and relevant.<br /><br />That's what matters! Nothing else makes sense, until one learns that fundamental, nothing else can make sense.<br /><br />I ask again, have you every actually tried to learn about climate science and global observations?<br /><br />Me, I'm a guy who graduated high school in 1973, atmospheric science and climate science and evolution made sense to. Global warming is real and it begins with the outer reaches of our atmosphere. And it's we humans who are forcing those changes by our millions of billions of gigatons worth of these atmosphere insulating elements that we are injecting into our atmosphere. <br /><br />It’s been over a half century now I have been observant and proactively learning about ever evolving earth and climate sciences, along with the increasingly detailed and accurate global observations being gathered on every corner of our planet.<br /><br />You Earl A Decker seem to rather embrace politics rather than science, so I hope you don't mind me asking you:<br /><br />Seems to me, that sort of avoidance, denial, crazy-making (as I see it) is nothing but self destructive because it undermines every avenue towards solutions. Since it makes it impossible to understand and make sense of anything. How can you possible fix or solve anything that way?<br /><br />Earl, why do you embrace that? Help me understand.<br /><br />What is going on? <br /><br />I ask because it seems to me, your brand of willful ignorance will only bring about a civil and environmental meltdown, and hell for the legacy we hand down to our children. Have any children Earl? What about their future?citizenschallengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559990934735912814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692282252844489453.post-52873803559027928812021-06-27T12:32:24.140-07:002021-06-27T12:32:24.140-07:00The 3 studies cited in the article that said 97% o...The 3 studies cited in the article that said 97% of the scientists agreed that AGW is happening is a false scientific study. FYI-No independent studies agree with each other exactly & none of them interviewed ALL the millions of scientists in the world.Earl A Deckernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692282252844489453.post-57725811223738239262019-07-09T22:32:57.699-07:002019-07-09T22:32:57.699-07:00This is a shout out to my friend and past boss, Dr...This is a shout out to my friend and past boss, Dr. Keith Strong. This was a beautiful description of "scientific theory" and its results. It would be nice to be back in touch with Keith and family after all these years.
