    There’s a lot of anti critical thinking.

    I read his stuff before and none of it makes any sense. Whos talking about a carbon tax? Whos talking about penalties? Hes talking about some fantasy world that doesnt exist. The way America is fighting climate change is by building more green tech manufacturing and bringing down cost so folks can voluntarily switch.

    Do you even read any of the stuff you post?

    I do find it interesting how simultaneously climate change is criticized for people making money off of and also as subverting capitalism.

    Actually yes we can measure the climate for thousands of years based upon things like ice core samples that trap air thousands of years ago. The atmospheric make up differs based upon temperature so by sampling the different concentrations of gases can give us an idea of what the temperature was like. Also things like tree rings including fossilized ones can tell us about temperature and wetness of ancient climate. This is how we know there have been ice ages and hot periods in the past.

    Dang, Scott Adams, if not trolling, is such an idiot. He probably also rejects the radioactive isotopes dating method, if he even understands what that is.

    That’s not what Popper’s falsification principle is snow in any single location isn’t a measure of a climate change as it’s a global phenomena. The falsification of climate change is pretty simple in the trend of global average temperature going down?

    it’s not. It’s going up.
