If this is true, I would actually agree with Trump on this. Unfortunately, science, like many of the great institutions of the West, has undergone severe ideological capture. Science is now in the service of this ideology. If science produces anything that contradicts the cult's doctrines, it is fiercely derided as blasphemy. It's almost like we're living in the dark ages where one must live in fear of contradicting the church.
Now there is some nuance to this. Not all science has been corrupted this way. A lot of it has to remain pure for practical reasons. For example, you can't on a whim decide that PI is equal to 3 if its actual value offends you somehow because now GPS and navigation stop working. Planes start crashing into each other. The whole world would grind to a halt if everyone decided PI was equal to 3. But the rest of it, what I would call the "inconsequential science", the stuff that is not that important to the functioning of critical infrastructure, that's gone. There are a lot of articles by ideological lunatics produced in the name of science aimed at convincing the non-critical mind of all manner of outrageous nonsense.

I just had an interesting thought after making that post. PI has its own day, March 14th. I would sell my soul just for Trump to make a big deal about it on that day. I'd like him to produce videos declaring what a wonderful number it is, it's history etc. I guarantee the hilarity that would ensue after that would be legendary. It would be comedy of such epic proportions watching people try to find ways to work around PI just because Trump likes it. Imagine trying to denounce PI while being unable to live without it. God, I'd love this to happen so badly just for the entertainment.

What I would like him to say more than anything is admit climate change is real. He is having it removed from government literature. Denial is his best policy

Oh my, climate change lol.
Climate change is already oversaturated with epic levels of comedy. I don't think Trump could dethrone legendary characters like Greta "How dare you" Thunberg. Trump leading the charge of the pro-PI movement, now that would be something new.

I should have guessed your position...
For the first time in more than a decade, climate change has been left off a list of national security threats facing the United States. Its exclusion from the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment, released this week, tracks with the Trump administration's broader dismissal of global warming as either an issue or a risk.

OH , caught up with CNN after 2-3 years I wrote that on the known thread and showed the videos? Good good.
Climate change is happening as that is happening to earth every X amount of millennials , it's a natural phenomena. What is unnatural is the human activity is the primary cause but in the risk of seen 10.000 documents from those 99% of climate scientist that I guess wes has interviewed one by one else he wouldn't have posted that, I would concur that climate change is happening mainly because of the human factor and Trump does not care. It's more fun that way, to see wokers spin around on the floor salivating left and right.

So you are happy for the climate to be changed for the worse by humans, but that is okay because you can use the word "woke" - not sure if you have noticed this but this planet's climate is sort of where you live and keep your things...
I'm happy since the human factor does is not significant here. The climate changes periodically by earth itself but it's a bonus to see wokers go wild, yes.
Also define worse. What the climate will change to? Or you just write that because they told you so?

So you read all the documents from all the scientist before you post reported statistics? Oh, that right, you don't have any supporting documents. Well, there is .01% of scientist that you agree with. Did you even read that pamphlet? Must of have been very convincing for you to believe the other 99% of scientist are wrong. Why don't you share this compelling information. Because we're all tired of only hearing,
The climate changes periodically by earth itself
No one is saying it doesn't but that fact doesn't mean humans aren't also causing change.

Yeah and you read all the documents of 99% that says that human interaction is well over earth interaction. Right. So skipping this as we will get in the usual fight, what are your thoughts (plural) about how to prevent climate change? Firstly what will climate change effect on the planet and what are the means to prevent it. I mean solid means, not just , don't drill and what are the alternatives?

Are you really ignorant of the effects of climate change? If your truly interested then do some research.

The Trump administration is actively combing through the relevant government institutions erasing references to climate change. Closing agencies responsible for the science studying it. That is denial and stupidity that should alarm even the people that agree with him. What happens when he wants to erase something you do believe in?

Re: Post election prediction

Honestly, you're making yourself look ridiculous. We know what the solution to Climate Change is; it's to reduce the volume and density of greenhouse gases that we emit.
There's a number of measures we can take to contribute to that though none of them is an answer it's own. Reduced dependence on fossil fuels; increased use of renewable fuels; more efficient energy transformation methods e.g. Carbon recapture in power stations; electric vehicles; better construction methods to reduce the need for home heating and/or air conditioning; more efficient heating through heat pumps rather than boilers; recovery technologies like carbon scrubbing... the list goes on.
There is nothing there that's new or that will come as a surprise to you, despite your feigned ignorance. What is missing is not knowledge, it's will.

Honestly you are making yourself look naive.
What of these measurement are implemented throughout the world? Do China or India give a damn? Does Germany return to carbon instead of the Wind generator BS?
Electric vehicles? Haven't learn your lesson yet? You have to pollute to power them as they are not self sustained and of course toxic and the amount of batteries vs amount of fuel in earth is devastating.
So how you will cool yourself without AC when you visit Greece in the summer? Also who of you is engulfing what you say here? Who here owns an e-bucket? Who have fixed their homes with the better constructions you say and using heat pumps and recovery technologies?
If I'm once ridiculous youre 10 times naive thinking everything you write takes place in the world.
With love

I'd say both.
Otherwise why did he say this,

When Greece gets over 50% of it's electricity from renewable sources.
But this is really not addressing the point of are humans adversely effecting the climate. Because if you don't believe greenhouse gases have an effect on the climate then it doesn't matter how much we produce.

Tomorrow is "liberation Day". I'm' glad I lived long enough...
“Wednesday, it will be Liberation Day in America, as President Trump has so proudly dubbed it,” Leavitt said. “The President will be announcing a tariff plan that will roll back the unfair trade practices that have been ripping off our country for decades. He’s doing this in the best interest of the American worker.”
That's kind of meaningless. In the US, there are two main parties, neither of which has a very large percentage of the population. Both hover in the vicinity of 25%. If you assume that the opposite party will always see a party as unfavorable, and that independents are independent largely because they don't want to be associated with one of the two parties, you would expect a pretty low favorabililty.
The article doesn't really talk about that, though, it talks about the changing view of those in the party. That makes me wonder about what the poll was really about...but not sufficiently curious to go looking. Perhaps it was a poll of Democrats about their leadership, perhaps it was a general population poll about the party favorability. Who knows, and really, who cares? The percent of people in each party just doesn't seem to move all that much.
Yeah you can interpret it as it suits you. But there is a chance that you will have GOP at least 8 years.
Admittedly I haven't read through the complete article but what I read was that among the DEM, what you say but...but..."Among the American public overall, the Democratic Party’s favorability rating stands at just 29%" So among the 29% the views changes etc.
I'm I wrong on that?
Also tariffs , let's see if your fears come true and we all suffer or if the decision was correct. I'll be your correspondence on the other side of the world, beep , beep.

I was referring to the general knowledge and opinion rather than any individual's. To put it another way, our scientific and political communities know the causes and solutions, but our political class lacks the will invoke them.

If I was looking for a meaningful interpretation I'd note that the Dems just rinsed the GOP in Wisconsin, even with Musk trying to buy GOP votes for a million dollars a pop. I can find you lots of polls that'll show you that Trump is currently the most unpopular President in history if you like (though, I doubt you'll consider them) - but that's an actual vote.

Yeah, let's now read that CNN is pro GOP so the circle can be complete.
I would argue who was correct on the elections but it has no meaning at the time since it's almost 4 years for the next one.
So back to business. BTW the forum is doing the limbo again.
Climate change is already oversaturated with epic levels of comedy...Post #1453
Well, I mean.....Greta Thunberg. If that isn't comedy, I don't know what is. If these climate activists want us to take them seriously, they do themselves no favors by recruiting her to their cause. I'm glad they did though because I really love a good joke.

I guess not. I'll try not to laugh the next time I hear an overprivileged child scold fully grown adults about things she knows nothing about.
Laugh away...
Thunberg's rise to world fame made her an ad hoc leader in the climate activist community. She faced heavy criticism, especially due to her age. Thunberg's influence on the world stage has been described by The Guardian and other media as the "Greta effect". She has received honours and awards, including in Time's 100 most influential people, named the youngest Time Person of the Year in 2019, inclusion in the Forbes list of The World's 100 Most Powerful Women (2019), and nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize.
