Republicans must feel very alone when it comes to supporting Trump

[SassyIrishLass]

Let me ask you this. Why do so many climate scientists disagree with you so strongly? What specifically is wrong about their conclusions?

Grant money

 

[westwall]

You know these scientists could easily make money? They could pretend it is not real and be compensated by the very lucrative fossil fuel industry. You know that would be an option for them right?

They make far more by pushing the fraud. A climatologist who is legit will make 150,000 to 200,000 per year.

Climatologists pushing the fraud make millions.

 

[westwall]

Grant money

Lots and lots and lots of grant money.

 

[Billy000]

Grant money

Why bother with grant money when their wallets could benefit from the fossil fuel industry paying them to say the phenomenon is fake? Republicans in congress are lobbied by this industry already. It’s not like grants go to their personal fortunes. That isn’t how grants work.

I know.

Our son did a paper on it for school. One thing that he found out after researching was temps were being taken at locations like airports, etc. surrounded by concrete and asphalt

Why do you senselessly make shit up? It’s so pathetic

A geologist working for a oil company will top out at 400,000 or so.

Michael Mann, one of the original climate mafia, is worth over 30 million

Unlike you I am an academic. I post facts.

 

[Billy000]

lol no you don’t. You have no earthly idea what you are talking about

 

[westwall]

lol no you don’t. You have no earthly idea what you are talking about

Oh yeah, I actually do. You post up opinions, based on nothing but fiction.

He'll you can't define the scientific method without looking it up.

You're a mental midget.

Yes. There are over 6,500 weather stations across the USA. Climatologists only use 1500 of them for their raw data. Almost all of which are improperly located in areas that give bad data.

I don’t even think you know what facts actually are. Your contention that the Scientific support for human made climate is rooted entirely in money and profit is absolutely moronic and absurd. You offer no nuance or a rational explanation explaining what makes the science looks like. A REAL scientific skeptic against human made climate change would not talk like that.

Let’s face facts here: you aren’t a scientist. Even if you were, you might as well admit it isn’t in climate science. You don’t actually have any formal education in the matter. You’re just as ignorant as I am. Of course, I do have a degree in psychology so at the very least I know what the scientific method is. I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t even have a bachelors

The actual percentage of the population who likes Trump has always been a minority.

Trump may have won in 2016, but he lost the popular vote. He just got the right voters in the right states. He lost the popular vote as well as the 2020 election itself. Republicans might want to pretend Trump won in 2020, but deep down they know he actually lost. They just won’t admit they’ve been wrong all along.

Trump’s approval rating is low and always has been.

Think of all the comedians and actors republicans used to like but now realize those people despise Trump. Take Family Guy as a good example. It’s bound to be a show that appeals to both republicans and democrats, but of course the creator of that show is a staunch progressive. It shows in the writing as well.

Now once again Trump is likely going to lose in November. This would mean that republicans had embarrassing losses for every election since 2018. Yikes!

Trumpism will eventually fizzle out. It will be forgotten.

Actually, this time around it feels like there's more support for President Trump. The Republican party feels very united. The assassination attempts are brining us together more than ever and are exposing the hateful Nazi like rhetoric from Democrats.

No, I have been a scientist for longer than you have been alive sport.

A psychology associates isn't going to cut it for you either.

Luckily it’s a bachelor’s but yes that doesn’t “cut it”. Of course I already said that it didn’t. You have no formal education in climate science. You might as well admit it. Neither one of us “cut it”. I just defer to actual experts who know more about the subject than I do by many miles.

What's sad is you think you have to have degrees in climatology to be able to have an opinion on it.

The simple truth is this. I am qualified to teach ANY climatology class. All the way up to Graduate level.

A PhD climatologist, on the other hand, is only capable of teaching up to 3rd year geology classes. That's it.

They have no knowledge of the higher levels of minerology, crystalography, etc.

Some can certainly learn it, but most can't. That's why the primary entry into climatology is via geography. When students fail out of the geology major, they drop down to geography. A far easier program. Nowhere near as much math, or chemistry, or physics involved.

90% of climatologists have geography as their science major.

I find it quite telling you havent explained what your education actually is

Ummmmm, I have posted on the board many times I earned my PhD in geology from Caltech.

You must be particularly inept at research.

Sure you have a bachelor's? Do you know what a Journal is?

Oh so that confirms my assertion you have no idea what you’re actually talking about. A subject adjacent just wouldn’t,,,,wait for it….cut it.
