    Not really accurate. I know a few that say weather hasn't really changed, the media just hypes it more for ratings. Others that say yea, it's getting worse, but I will be dead before it really impacts things so why should I care. I heard the latter just the other day.

    If they want to do something right regarding the FBI, they could start by removing J. Edgar Hoover's name from the FBI headquarters building. (I'm sure that anti-Woke DeSantis will remove it if elected, since Hoover was a cross-dresser.)

    Sorry I misunderstood. Then it was as I was suggesting at first.

    The claim that humans cannot influence the Earth’s environmental conditions is a curious one though. On what basis could this negative be so proved? And why is it that lay people are so confident in this claim regarding such a complex system? If a scientist suggested that a 12 base pair deletion in the 4th upstream enhancer of the Pitx1 can cause reduction in growth of pelvic spines in embryonic stickleback fish, would anyone feel confident calling that claim obviously false?

    It could definitely sympathize with uncertainty regarding claims that carry great societal significance, but uncertainty is not what I am usually seeing.

    I don't think today's Republican politicians would touch the subject of earthly creatures having spines.

    Right, and I guess no dems are turning over in their graves...

    Some people can't escape their partisanship.

    I am confident in calling the stickleback fish philosopher out for his outrageous pontification….for it was Dr. Herbert Axelrod, considered by his peers as the foremost expert on tropical fish, who opined “the spine of the stickleback fish embryo can best be described as so gelatinous in its form that no science of this earth will be able to detect any deviation, mutation or observation .”

    as for human influence on earth environment, I don’t think anyone made any such claim that you are suggesting. Instead, what the masses seem to object to is the constant moving target, the clear politicalization, the clear monetization, and the clear bastard action of science and data.

    Didn’t Al Gore say, as he exited his SUV to board his private jet to head back to his massive mansion in Tennessee some time back in the 80’s “In the next 10 years the ice caps will melt, the oceans will rise to cover most of the continents and most people will die if you don’t buy my book…” or something along those lines? That turned out to be an inconvenient lie.

    Over what? Do today's Democrats have a criminal cult leader with a willfully blind following?

    ...and government *solutions*.

    Don't forget the bullshit they try--nay, have done did (past tense) and continue to seek to (future tense)-- slip past us, in the name of 'climate change'.

    So we attack the crooked science they invoke....and they try to spin it as we're anit-science.

    (Ultimately of course, we're just anti tyranny).

    ...and I'll back most anything that passes for an argument, over tyrannical freedom extinguishing horseshit *solutions* that justify 100 world leaders flying private jets to TImbucktu, to fondle each others' coconuts, and pass it off as saving the @^@%!$# planet...

    ...and then coming back with hair brained schemes that turn public servants and their kin folk into multi-millionaires, and us into de facto slaves.

    Confident? Absolutely. Correct? umm...not so much.

    The old saying goes the more you know, the less you think you know. In this case, a corollary would be the more you think you know, the less you know.

    Did we just re-invent the Dunning-Kruger effect?

    No, just a senile old man and a bunch of idiots in Congress. See, the beauty of being in the middle is pointing out the hypocrisy on both sides. You only point it out on one side because you are far left. The right is just as bad. Both sides are out for 2 things only: Power and money. Anyone thinking otherwise is very naïve.
