No one should be so committed to their understanding of climate that they can not change their position based on available evidence.
LMHAO -- at that last line bud.. Some are so committed to "their" understanding, that they can IGNORE evidence to the contrary placed right in their lap... And "their" understanding has more to do with polling and Press Releases than the science..
Exactly.
Everyone should be willing to step back from what they might 'like' to believe, and look at what the science and numbers suggest. It applies equally to left and right.
And yet we still have posters on this board who deny that 97% of the world's glaciers are in decline, and others who claim that is completely normal.
I dont know if it's a cultural barrier (what with you living in Finland and all ) or you are truly oblivious to the fact that we are all laughing at that statement.. You really seem to have no idea ---- even AFTER OddBall gave you free psychoanalyisis, and WestWall gave you a universal hint from Classical Literature -- that that statement is one of the most funny examples of "defensive psychological projection" ever witnessed in a public place..
Lemme help you again.. From the Wiki on Psychological Projection..
Psychological projection was first conceptualized by Sigmund Freud as a defence mechanism in which a person unconsciously rejects his or her own unacceptable attributes by ascribing them to objects or persons in the outside world instead. Thus, projection involves psychically expelling one's negative qualities onto others, and is a common psychological process.[1][2] Theoretically, projection and the related projective identification reduces anxiety by allowing the unconscious expression of the unwanted unconscious impulses or desires through displacement
But whatever you do --- PLEASE keep up badgering us and lecturing us about being closed minded and not moved by the facts of the real world.. If is wasn't entertaining -- you'd be on IGNORE a year ago "when the grapes were DYING of Global Warming in Australia"..
