That was not a scientific consensus. True scientific methodology didn't exist then, and mythology was inseparably mixed in with the fledglings of scientific thought.

It was a scientific consensus for the scientists then and it seems true scientific methodology is being equally ignored by many today. They, like the good Preacher, St. Albert of Gore, just want to believe.

And always follow the money.

Things like a flat earth that was the center of the universe was religious consensus more than anything.

There was a mix of the two, just as there is now. You have to believe!
You're only further proving my point that not only do you not understand science, but you don't even know what it is.

You have a degree in science as well,as economics, I suppose..

Handwaving decades of research by thousands of people with "it's a religion" is lazy, dishonest, and stupid.

There was once a scientific consensus that the world was flat, that the sun revolved around the earth, the the Mediterranean was literally the center of Earth, that man could never fly, etc. If we have learned anything it is that science is not decided by "consensus". All scientists must be skeptics until the evidence is beyond a doubt. Such is not the case with global warming. Or cooling.

Follow the money.

Modern scientists are guided by the Scientific Methods and laws...

If you think that, you don't know what science is. Science didn't really exist then. Science is a methodology. It has certain rules that are NOT subjective, and NOT subject to interrpretation. Science in this capacity did not exist. You are being intellectually lazy.

Yeah, I suppose that's why religion is so quick to support science? Oh wait, religion is still denying evolution, and denied the earth was round and went around the sun for goodness knows how long. Wrong again.

I don't have to have a degree in any sort of science to understand what the scientific method is. Any 5th grader can understand that. It's very simple.

Of course government motors is not going to collapse. At least not until the one term president Obama collapses the US economy.

And this statement is far more reasonable than saying a company losing money is profitable.

Why do you want to play semantics with me? Are you still trying to argue that a company reporting an income statement loss means it is not profitable and that is always the case? You can't determine profitability by simply measuring losses, all company's have losses on their income statements.

Perhaps you're confusing losses with expenses.

There is research by thousands and disagreements by the thousands.

You're one of the believers, huh?

And there is more than a little disagreement among them. The truth is not yet known.

They don't disagree on what is scientific fact, law, and theory... Much of global warming is a fact, it's not entirely a made up a hoax, some areas just not all known one way or the other. The science world doesn't dismiss anything as bull**** and move on, the science world improves theories and testing, and strives to understand the world from an honest standpoint...

Science is based on evidence and facts, not beliefs and opinions. I came to my conclusion because, unlike many, I took the personal responsibility to go actually read what the scientists were publishing instead of listening to what radio talk show hosts and journalists say.

You may be coming late to the game. A company that is losing money is not profitable. Never mind. Why should I even bother...?

There is no doubt that the Earth warms and cools. That is not the issue. The issue is the politics. It warms. Therefore governments need more power and people need less power.

Aren't you supposed to be an accountant? You don't know the difference between a loss and an expense?

There is no doubt global warming, and cooling, over time is a fact. That's been known for quite a while.

So what's different this time?

Exactly!

And Al Gore gets to build himself a multi-million dollar mansion.

Barnum was an optimist.

Oh yeah! There's nothing like becoming a millionare from a fake market.

Global Warming is nothing more than a money laundering scheme. If the scientists get billions in grant money, it only makes sense that they're going to make donations to the party that gave them the money. Just like the walfare class.

Sorry, Grant... but this is probably going to piss you off, but I do remember that Obama was well know for getting the college vote. Any college town or city was securely his, and I have also heard the same thing about people who are post grads. And most of the lawyers and doctors I know who vote republican are older... baby boomer generation, whereas the younger lawyers and doctors seem to be independent, moderate, or more Democrat than the older generation.

What do you expect? When you are closer to your indoctrinator you tend to follow the herd like sheep.
