This is why there’s been so much extreme rainfall and flooding in the U.S.

If you don't need a PhD, then why do so many people spend all that time and money to get them?

Did Einstein?

 

[BULLDOG]

Did Einstein?

You know that was a goofy remark for several reasons, don't you?
He had one. I assume he thought he needed it. He was a really mart man. I don't see him going through all that if he didn't think he needed it.

 

[EMH]

He was a really mart man

Rich kids can stay in school forever. That doesn't make them "top scientists" no matter how many degrees they may have. Einstein, of course, was a high school dropout....

Einstein would not run away from basic questions either, yet your heroes do...

While there are varying meteorological forces behind this month’s extreme rainfall, what has connected them all is significant amounts of atmospheric moisture pulsing above the country.

It is flowing from abnormally warm oceans across the Northern Hemisphere that are likely to stretch elevated flood risks into August, data shows — perhaps into record territory. The conditions are allowing plumes of tropical moisture to stretch into middle latitudes and stagnate there, sending flood risks surging and exemplifying a critical consequence of rising global temperatures that researchers have been predicting and tracking for decades.

Scientist have been warning for decades about climate change. As oceans warm, the added moisture in the atmosphere will lead to more super storms. The repub party has called it lies and propped up their "experts" to refute the science. We can expect to see extreme weather episodes going forward and that will lead to more loss of life and property. Insurance rates are already skyrocketing in parts of the country where these weather extremes are prevalent. We may be too late to change course.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Yeah, that’s natural

 

[HikerGuy83]

Nope, the wealthy will be able to move to a safer climate. YOU will not. Your children and grandchildren will be the ones to suffer. Not to worry, they will blame the Dems for not being more forceful in their warnings.

Take a long walk on a short pier moron.

Yet he earned a PhD. from Zurich in 1905. Why would such a smart man do that if it wasn't needed?

A PhD is a great deal more than just getting a piece of paper.

It opens up many doors (and did back then) that might otherwise have been shut.

So...tell us again how it was goofy.

Never said a PhD was goofy. Many here say formal education is not needed. If that were true, it would be goofy to go to all that effort for something that is not needed.

I pray every night to hear a Leftists say just once, "Sorry, we are too late to save the planet. Feel free to live life to its fullest and pursue happiness".

MAGAts prefer freedumb over a planet.

Oh well, it's not as though anyone couldn't have seen it coming.

No one here has said you don't need a college degree even a PHD for the few who go all the way in University, what I have been pointing out which you ignored are the few who didn't get a college degree at all and still do very well, Milton Humason and Clyde Tombaugh were two examples I posted who were great success despite the lack of college.

You suffer greatly from Education Fallacy problem.

I already showed you many examples of college educated people fail badly over the centuries when they irrationally held onto consensus beliefs.

Paul Ehrlich is a sterling example of a PHD educated failure with his many stupid predictions that failed that didn't come close to be reached:

“Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make,” Paul Ehrlich confidently declared in the April 1970 issue of Mademoiselle. “The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years [by 1980].”

“Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born,” wrote Paul Ehrlich in a 1969 essay titled “Eco-Catastrophe! “By…[1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions...."

LOL.

You really should go back and read the previous posts. Many here think reading a few web sites i enough education to challenge scientific professionals There will always be the tiny few who excel despite no formal training, but that is far from the norm.

That's why consensus is the gold standard. Must be a coincidence you disagree with it.

Because it gets you access to things.

I told you that.

You focus on the things you seem to think make your arguments relevant.

Consensus bromides is for people who doesn't know much of anything while scientists goes by the Reproducible research that others of their FIELD can deal with.

So you think the evaluation of scientific data is just as valid for an untrained anonymous discussion board member as for a trained credentialed professional? Really?

How do you know who is trained or untrained.

If you don't understand how to evaluate scientific data, then why are you commenting on it AT ALL?
