15 degrees in Alaska tonight!!! In August!!!

Another ad for ignorance. The less you know the smarter you are. Morons unite and inherit the world.

If there is one good thing that the Bushman taught the country it was the consequences of empowering ignorance.

An idiot is an idiot...no matter how well "educated" it is. That's what you idiots don't understand...(well you are idiots so that at least makes sense) and thanks do the ever popular DK effect, YOU never will.....

I'll take an educated idiot over an uneducated idiot any day. At least the educated one has demonstrated the ability to learn.

Learn? Maybe.... Parrot? Certainly...

When a message board poster accuses others of behavior that EVERY PARTICIPANT KNOWS he himself exhibits in spades, that man is nothing but a troll.

One of the HUGE faults with this country currently is the fact that the only "education" acceptable is the formalized, institutional pap administered by (mostly) "progressive" educators. They cannot see beyond their extremely limited concept of what constitutes "knowledge", disallowing for millennia of cultural knowledge passed from those who learn by living and experience. What a farmer, hunter, or fisher knows is actually disallowed as knowledge by the "progressive" because such information comes from unapproved, unacceptable sources. It is not "scientific". Hence, you cannot possibly be expected to earn much, or realize your full potential unless you have indebted yourself beyond imagining, enslaving yourself to those who grant you the exorbitant sums demanded by educational institutions. And for what? A piece of paper that has an actual value of a piece of paper...certainly not the ridiculous cost of acquiring said paper/

Of course -- MOST of that "common man" folkknowledge IS geniunely scientific.. It's just more impressive without all the numbing mathematics and detail...

OTH -- Seems to me more and more --- the only folks who ask why ANYTHING works the way that does, are those who probably never had advanced science training. That degree shuts down inquiry for 4 or 10 years whilst you concentrate on Repeating Back knowledge for grades.. Don't have time to ask or ponder your own questions..

Folks on the board KNOW I'm wholly invested in the movie Idiocracy.. We will see it arrive in our lifetimes. OR -- shortly thereafter.

'' Seems to me more and more --- the only folks who ask why ANYTHING works the way that does, are those who probably never had advanced science training.''

There are many people curious about how things work at all stages of education. For instance standard mechanical machines are pretty intuitive in how they work if not why they work.

But take molecular biology or astro physics or climate science and there is nothing intuitive at all. One is either educated adequately or not.

You can see huge cognitive blunders among these pages by people applying common sense to uncommon phenomena.

As I've said before, to me what the average person knows about statistics allows them to be easily misled, whereas those trained in statistics can use that knowledge to extract much greater meaning from data.

This bee thing that westwall was going on about is a good example of science that requires computer modeling to accurately predict. Using standard mass, lift, and drag measurements in the 50's, the aerodynamic laws at the time did say that bees shouldn't be able to fly. More recently, computer models of the bees wing movenments showed (unsurprisingly) that they could.

People who spend their lives trying to prove science wrong are among the world's biggest losers. They have no tools to accomplish that other than ignorance. Science is based on proof.

It cracks me up when amateur scientists think they've come up with something that the specialists in a given field didn't think of in their first week on the job.

Golly......we finally agree on something s0n!!

But that is the whole problem.......none of the AGW stuff can be proven!! Conjecture is gay.

Those are the people who keep science honest - people like Galileo and Copernicus.
No wonder you want everyone to ignore them.

What there is no proof of is what you wish was true. Nobody's even trying to find science to support your wishes.

Record snow at Crater Lake!!!!


Snow already? Crater Lake gets 8 inches | MailTribune.com


yuk......yuk.......

 

[mamooth]

Seriously, what is with the 'tards who think that a snowfall proves no global warming? Did mama drop them on their head a couple times? Did they grow up in a house full of peeling lead paint? That is, what specific process creates denialists?

The Skook is always surprised by weather. And totally blind to climate.

oh now this is really cute.. Mammy has gone full monte Denialist Mode..

DENY THIS YOU CLOD ----- From 2000 -- right from the Fudge-Packing Ministry of Distorting Climate Science.. Your HEROES who never do anything wrong..

Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past - Environment - The Independent

Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past

However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event".

"Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said.

This is gonna be a GREAT DENIALIST MOMENT...

We're not the ones AVOIDING reality and truth.. Living in bubbles filtered by ThinkProgress and SkepticalScience. YOU are rewriting history as you go..

I know how strongly you believe in denying inconvenient truth. It's never worked for me though. Problems only get worse. That's why problem solvers rule the world.
