Climate Deniers Banned from Reddit

CONTROL is the objective of socialism, not science

CONTROL is also the objective of Fascism. It is also the objective of some Capitalism. Example: A tax bill that only 23% of the populace supports, and yet is passed. Now that's Billionaire CONTROL.
 
Wrong, the last 3 years (2015-2017) have been the warmest on record. Out of the top 10 warmest years ever, 9 of them have been after 2000, the other being 1998. Don't take my word - look it up.

"Look it up?" This is the death of the age of enlightenment isn't it

I "googled" the phase "climate change is a fraud" as a test and what i got was what google wanted me to get: eg snopes article saying the rumor is false, Wikipedia article discrediting the notion etc.

Had "google" be in operation in Nazi Germany googling the phrase "Jews are subhuman" there would have been immediate links to billions of "sites" of "peer-reviewed" government science attesting to the "truth" of it.


Hundreds of thousands of scientists living a lie?

How about the all those billions of National Socialist race scientists, could they all be living a lie"

We are entering a new dark ages, the death of reason occurred sometime in the 1930s.

Looks like Reddit was having trouble controlling the Climate Science discussions.

So is the EPA. In response they have eliminated any discussion of climate change and shut down the portion of their website that discusses it.

Both are wrong, by the way.

I know, right? I just googled “the earth is flat” and most of the linked sites took a negative stance toward the theory. If google were truly impartial it should give me an equal number of pro-flat earth results as well.

Unless their goal is accuracy instead of impartiality, that is.
 
And that post is a perfect example of one of the many reasons deniers were banned from the sub-reddit.
I see you use the denier label too. Speaks volumes

You don't have the slightest clue what you copy/pasted even is supposed to be......
You don't know that. I merely commented that the maps look flat.
In a later post I pointed out that it looks like they have the typical
Mercator distortion.

Your post was just an extremely stupid and extremely dishonest diversionary tactic.
I get it, you don't like what I have to say.

If I ran the sub-reddit,
If you ran it, you would turn it into an echo chamber.

I'd ban you for that one post.

You took it way too seriously. Perhaps I should have said that
models "probably" instead "maybe" run on virtual globes.
Would that have made you happy? Probably not would be my guess.

A few years back there were sites where people could run their
own discussion board. My rules only disallowed illegal and
malicious posts designed to interrupt the function of the board.
My dear friends on the left appreciated the opportunity to say
what they darn well pleased. You apparently want to deny people
that opportunity.

Sounds like a lot of non-sequitur responses to me. OK then...

Yeah, but FOX News told them that Google is biased. Everybody is bias, except of course, FOX News.

Wait one damned minute here, you just co-opted my position that our climate cult socialists are the real flat Earther's

I have know the earth was round since 1944 what year did you claim to know it; I took no ones word on this I measured the curvature of the earth in my "real" science class; not the socialist science brainwashing proffered in our failing government union school complex.
 
A privately run sub-reddit doesn't have to cater to nonsensical reality deniers.

I've had posts deleted and been banned from a forum for my views as well.

Just proved liberals love censorship when the message disagrees with theirs.

Tamino's Open Mind was critical of a graph I posted at What's Up With That.
When I attempted to respond, my post briefly appeared and then poof it was gone.
I assume I am banned. No notification, no nothing. I've been banned from other
sites but Tamino's silent censoring really takes the cake.

Maybe you should have posted something more reputable than a scientific link from a High Schooler.

Which forum was this? Reddit?

Looks like Reddit was having trouble controlling the Climate Science discussions. The link is a long message, justifying the action, from one of the moderators.

Reddit?s science forum banned climate deniers. Why don?t all newspapers do the same? | Grist
Instead of the reasoned and civil conversations that arise in most threads, when it came to climate change the comment sections became a battleground. Rather than making thoughtful arguments based on peer-reviewed science to refute man-made climate change, contrarians immediately resorted to aggressive behaviors. On one side, deniers accused any of the hard-working scientists whose research supported and furthered our understanding of man-made climate change of being bought by “Big Green.” On the other side, deniers were frequently insulted and accused of being paid to comment on reddit by “Big Oil.”

After some time interacting with the regular denier posters, it became clear that they could not or would not improve their demeanor. These problematic users were not the common “internet trolls” looking to have a little fun upsetting people. Such users are practically the norm on reddit. These people were true believers, blind to the fact that their arguments were hopelessly flawed, the result of cherry-picked data and conspiratorial thinking. They had no idea that the smart-sounding talking points from their preferred climate blog were, even to a casual climate science observer, plainly wrong. They were completely enamored by the emotionally charged and rhetoric-based arguments of pundits on talk radio and Fox News.

Exactly my point - An "Inconvenient Truth" to the fossil fuel industry, which has been the recipient of all those Government subsidies for many, many years. And now they are spending mightily on a misinformation program in an attempt to discredit every reputable scientific organization on the planet. Are the checks actually titled with Donor's Trust? Guess not - probably direct deposit - untraceable origins - just in case somebody goes rogue.

Yeah, but you said it was from Watts, right? Scientists with phDs and numerous research papers aren't very impressed with Watt's High School Education.

Shooting the messenger always works. But that aside, it wasn't Watts' graph, it was my graph.

No one is threatening the free speech of those who believe as you do. Only your side threatens the free speech of opponents.
