You may want to look at liberals/Democrats more closely as they also fall for the group think mentality. This forum is a good example for seeing those from either side demonizing anyone that's not on "Their Team". As a moderate I see anyone that to the far right or left as a threat to the US of A.

I see people like you as a hindrance to people working together due to your wide brush labeling of all conservatives as being defective. Guess "Your Team" is the only correct choice eh?

You can't see. That is what having a conservative brain defect means. The truth is not flattering to your ego and the healthy maintenance of the delusional state in which it exists is your top priority. I tell you that science has shown the conservative brain has a tendency to demonize opposition much more readily that a liberal brain, proven by neuroscientific tests, and there you go, off to the races trying to demonize me for telling you this truth. You are, of course, extremely funny in that humorous way that liberals refer to as stupid, but which, unfortunately of course, is the result of the fact that you use your intelligence brilliantly to deny reality. And you are not to blame for this because it's what kept you alive as a child.

You had to conform or you would have been demonized as a monster and a liberal. You committed Stockholm Syndrome to survive. You became of the monsters who are monsters because they make monsters of others. That is your condition. My condition is that the efforts to do that to me didn't take. I am only the messenger who knows that once long ago you were alive and could feel pain and you closed that door on yourself. You hid the monster in a deeply armored closet and it haunts you there.
 
Dumbass financial analysts can't even predict what price Apple stock will be in an hour and I'm supposed to believe it's safe to put my money in an S&P fund for 30 years?!

I'm investing in gold.

^This is what you sound like to me.

That's what he sounded like to me too which is why I couldn't believe what I was hearing. If anybody should be able it tell the difference between analyzing a particular stock and the economy in general it would be him.

What I find interesting is that the studies are based on self reporting party affiliation as opposed to some type of testing of beliefs.

Shouldn't we all just take the political compass test and make things a little more clear?

I've taken it and fall as close to the center as one can get. Making me neither conservative nor liberal.. (actually I show a mild liberal authoritarian bent).

Many of my beliefs fall on both sides of the spectrum depending on the topic. But I tend to identify as a libertarian in most cases leaning left in a few other cases.

At this point the best way to address those denying climate change is happening as a result of human behaviour is simply not engaging them. It's come to that point and it's that embarrassing to hear it. Treat it as if someone said to you the Earth is flat, give them the same look you would in that case and do one of these

homer_simpson_gif-761.jpg


Those in denial largely are accounted for by:

-those with a financial interest in nothing being done about the crisis
-the insane
-those who let their politics blind them to factual reality, their preferred political faction tells them it's not so, so it's not so

The best approach at this point is ridicule. Denying it is like claiming the Earth is flat, the sun goes around the Earth, etc. etc.

The need to find a cure for CBD is one of the most important tasks the human race faces, not that it's aware of that fact, but ridicule is most certainly not the answer. The reaction is like the ones I got from DSF, IamDavid, and Londo. Science obviously doesn't work either.
 
This isn't the witch trials or a turn-of-phrase being popularized. You say consensus like its a bad thing. Trying to demonize many people coming to the same conclusion is the opposite of rational thought. We aren't talking about consensus with the majority of the general population, we are talking about consensus among those that are educated on the issue. So your points are all hyperbole.

No one can fault you or any other for still being on the fence about it, still trying to understand and educate yourself.

The uneducated can't teach the also-uneducated by beating them over the head with the "CONSENSUS!" club.

Like I said buddy, please go back to watching your kiddy porn or whatever a pathetic troll like yourself does these days.

Science is and has never been conclusive on just about any debate. I used the body as a perfect example. No other part of the universe has been studied so greatly than the human body yet science changes almost daily with it. Climate change has been "studied" for a few decades by 1/1,000,000th of the scientist.
"Scientist" change their "facts" as time goes by. I'm not trash talking scientist either, I believe they fill a true need and accomplish amazing things. Problem is, politics and money took over "science". I'm the money side, I'll screw with both sides of the argument knowing in the end it causes everyone to make irrational moves which in turn creates opportunities for myself. You're a pawn in a game and too stupid to realize it.

So my support of gay marriage is due to CBD? How about supporting abortion in the first 2 trimesters, is that CBD related?

Personally I think you're so full of hate you can't see what's the truth.
 
The most unbiased approach is to admit the models didn't pan out and draw conclusions from there.

Calling people "deniers" is just projection because the IPCC is in denial about how incorrect all their models have been.

Ohh, I agree. But then again, nobody is telling people to be the farm on Apple, forever, due to one faulty model. Furthermore, there is no 100% "consensus" on it.

I am far more aware of your value as a human being than you are. You do not need to defend yourself from me. I know you can't be other than you are in the areas where you are blind and so no blame is due. I know also that you are not the worst case of CBD in this forum by a long shot. For those reasons and others I try to help you where I can, modestly and selflessly, of course.

Be proud of yourself, but don't be egotistically defensive. We were all hurt as children.

I am way way too insignificant to be worthy of your attention or to have any capacity or ability to comprehend anything you would dine to link. I will save myself the trouble, therefore, of looking and having it go over my head. I do, though, appreciate your attempt to help me out.
 

The great global cooling myth

"But a new article in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society challenges the idea of a ‘global cooling ’ consensus. Thomas Peterson of NOAA teamed with William Connolley of the British Antarctic survey and science reporter John Fleck to create a survey of peer-reviewed climate literature from the 1970s. Looking at every paper that dealt with climate change projections or an aspect of climate forcing from 1965 to 1979, they were able to assess the ‘trends’ in the literature. They found that only 7 of the 71 total papers surveyed predicted global cooling. The vast majority (44) actually predicted that rising atmospheric carbon dioxide could lead to global warming."

Rewriting history with new "facts" while discrediting and labeling apposing voices is the new normal in global thru local politics\life. For the most part it'll go unchecked because nut jobs like Moonbeam scream louder and have no lives so they can spend hours a day spreading the BS that their masters want them too. All the while not understanding what's going on. Extremist in all groups do this. Greatest reason why the wealth, education, health and power gap continues to widen. Control the pawns so they don't think for themselves!!!
