   Originally posted by netstat You made a thread ostensibly trying to claim that scientific predictions were wrong then referenced a whole bunch of non-scientific sources. So what, this is a bait and switch that I'm somehow a dumbass for not picking up on? You don't really mean science made bad predictions even though you explicitly say this, you actually mean 'the machine' whatever the fuck that is misled people? Nah, I think you're just a moron who has a hard time keeping your argument straight, who wanders all over the place while trying to dodge facts you don't like.

   
   OK so the news sources that you support and draw on for reliable information are wrong? Because if you look at the sources it's all from well known left leaning publications. It's the same thing as today. You are just to egotistical to admit you have been lied to and believed the lie. Even when faced with proof they have been lying for over 50 years. Man you must be a real mess inside.

Sounds like the warming trend over the last 40 years hasn't even accounted for 1/3rd of the cooling that occurred over the 40 years that immediately preceded it. 🤔
   
   Someone please tell me why this isn't... like... a thing? Tell me why this isn't real please. I don't wanna be a climate denying boomer.

   We also need to compare the data with the data for the past six thousand years.

    Science is a religion for a lot of these people. When you criticise a scientist's predictions or a test a theory, they take it like you are insulting their religion.

    Haven't you noticed that the beliefs of a lot of people have nothing to do with reality.

    Originally posted by netstat It sure would be nice to be able to handwave away any information I don't like, ignore research and cherrypick newspaper articles to uphold my views but unfortunately I'm not as prone to delusion as many.

    
    Cherry pick? It's more like picking up nuts that keep falling from the trees.
