Axios: Guess What Democrats Have Stopped Talking About?

[Hafar1014]

So just to clarify: you're using a single paper, written about a reproducibility crisis in biomedical research, to argue that all of science, including climate science, is unreliable?

That same paper literally cautions against overinterpreting individual studies, especially in fields with small sample sizes, low signal-to-noise ratios, few replications, and high flexibility in statistical modeling, none of which apply meaningfully to climate science.

Climate science, by contrast, is a global, multi-disciplinary field grounded in massive data sets, direct observation (e.g. satellites, ice cores, temperature records), and predictive models validated across decades. The effects being measured are large, persistent, and replicated across independent lines of evidence.

And even then, you’re not citing the study’s methodology or argument, just its title and its abstract, as if that’s sufficient to dismiss an entire body of empirical work.

I appreciate the effort, but this isn't even close to a convincing application of that research. It’s a misreading, applied out of context, to support a sweeping ideological claim the author himself never makes.

If anything, your post illustrates the kind of "bias-driven interpretation" Ioannidis was warning against. So, no I'm sorry, but this doesn't work on me. I read the links provided, and I understood was what said in this one.


Also, here is a talk by Ioannidis himself (around 25:00 minutes) where he explains how many significant results can indicate flawed data. He also shows that geosciences, which includes climate science, have some of the lowest rates of such problematic findings. So, your claim about the entire field being unreliable is contradicted by the very data the author presents.

Google it yourself there are many studies. Climate change is trhe lie of the century and today no one cares about it except fir the green energy industrial complex and they are DOA today as well

You told me to Google it, unluckily for you, I already did. And I found the expert you cited saying you’re wrong, on camera. So, if you still want to die on this hill, your fight isn’t with me. It’s with him for starters. Good luck.

Oh, and while you’re at it, maybe you should clarify what you actually believe for yourself, because it’s pretty unlikely something can be both ‘the lie of the century’ and something ‘no one cares about.’"

Globull warming is one of the biggest hoaxes ever perpetuated.

Fake news! Global warming and human induced climate change is a scientific certainty.
Only idiot simpletons who don't know shit about the scientific evidence are still running around trying to claim this.
Why do you like staying willfully stupid?

I think progressives have come to realize we are a country of backwards idiots, and we better focus on just getting back to something resembling a normal, first world country.

There had been a dearth of screeching from the left about the impending climate apocalypse. With the failures of the Green New Boondoggle as a slush fund for leftist waste, fraud and abuse, perhaps it was just s "phase they were going through".

Axios: Guess What Democrats Have Stopped Talking About?

Democrats have stopped discussing the Green New Deal. What does this mean for climate policy?

hotair.com

Here's a hint: It's something that Democrats could not shut up about for the last four years. No, it's not Defund the Police. That mission still gets some support from the progressive/socialist vanguard, as we see in New York City. And you know it's not about Donald Trump and his supposed "threat to democracy."

So which Democrat dog has ceased its barking? The one that barked up the wrong energy tree, according to an Axios review of Democrat speeches and social-media accounts:

Democrats aren't explicitly disavowing the Green New Deal, but they've abruptly stopped talking about it as they scramble to find new ways to talk about climate change.

• Over the past three months, Democrats in Congress collectively said "Green New Deal" only six times across social media and on the floor.
• That's the fewest mentions since the proposal rose to prominence in the fall of 2018, according to data from the legislative tracking service Quorum.

The second potential reason may be more applicable. Joe Biden actually managed to get a big chunk of the Green New Deal through Congress by calling it the Inflation Reduction Act. His administration then took that cash and just handed it out to progressive orgs run by cronies like Stacey Abrams. As we found out a few weeks ago, the Biden Regency gave out $90 billion in "loans" from the IRA after losing the election, with $42 billion going out the door in the last two days of Biden's wretched term

That shit was being pushed by Al Gore because his family owed a big stake in Occidental Petroleum, an oil company that injects liquified CO2 into rock formations under high pressure and velocity to fracture the rock and release the oil. AKA fracking.

The only greening being done by the carbon credit market is moving greenbacks from the working poor to the ultra-rich.

Getting back to a first world country by allowing tens of millions of undocumented third worlders in doesn’t make much sense does it?
