   90% root beer schnapps, 10% (alcoholic) ginger beer.
   
   Good shit.

   I just started a few minute ago, but it's alike 90% root beer schnapps and it tastes like straight root beer, so I been drinking it pretty darn quick.

   If you're referring to WHAT we research, then yes, that's absolutely true.
   
   But if you mean to imply that THE RESULTS we get from research are biased, that is vastly false.

   Is there a secret handshake?

   Admittedly, I have not scrutinized that entire article, it's pretty long so I saved it for later and just kinda skimmed certain parts so far.
   
   I was mainly responding to the part that you quoted here, and that was even bolded in the article itself, about the nature of consensus in science.
   
   And regarding that particular point, I see what he's getting at, but my problem with it isn't the underlying point, but the fact that most of the opponents of climate change will use nearly identical arguments, and that's why I see a need to refute that central thesis.
   
   It's totally true that science is consensus based, but climate change deniers can't use that as an argument against climate change.
   
   

   Originally posted by Obbe It seems obvious that the climate is changing and that fossil fuels contribute to that. What do you think about their predictions of the future 30, 50, or 100 years from now? Predictions made using computer models based on equations similar to the Drake Equation mentioned at the beginning of his speech. What are your thoughts on these?

   
   When it comes to using mathematical prediction models, the results are only as good as the data fed into them.
   
   i.e. Garbage in, garbage out.
   
   I haven't taken a super close look at the data, but obviously thousands of respected, highly-specialized climatologists have reviewed the data and are satisfied with it.
   
   As to the accuracy of these predictions, it's all a numbers game. The more data points you feed into a model, the more accurate your predictions can become. But then there's also specificity of predictions. If you want to take thousands of years of global temperature data and use that to try and predict global temperature data for a few years from now, it should be pretty damn accurate.
   
   But if you want to predict something way more complex, such as isolated weather phenomena within specific geographic regions... That's going to be a lot trickier.
   
   Similarly, the Drake equation is a similar such estimation, but it's a LOT more difficult to verify since we can't exactly load up a rocket ship full of space exploring astronauts and just launch them into every neighbouring galaxy.

   gadzooks Dark Matter [keratinize my mild-tasting blossoming]
   Also, in case anyone is not too sure how to use GreaseMonkey, the procedure is pretty quick and straight forward (and probably quite similar for TamperMonkey as well):
   
   1. Google "GreaseMonkey" and go to the site to install it.
   2. Click "Add to Firefox" or some such button.
   3. Go to the little monkey icon in the top right of your browser, click it, then in the drop down menu, click "New user script".
   4. Copy the JS script from this page into that new script (underneath the commented lines at the very top (in orange)).
   5. Check under the monkey icon dropdown menu to see if your new script is enabled.

   gadzooks Dark Matter [keratinize my mild-tasting blossoming]
   Here's a version that simply looks for the substring "infinity" in the username (in case you would rather block on that basis than to block based on registration date:
   
   

   
   if (window.location.hostname === 'niggasin.space') {
     var posts = document.getElementsByClassName('post');
     
     for (var i = 0; i < posts.length; i++) {
   
       var post = posts[i];
   
       var user = post.getElementsByClassName('user-block')[0].getElementsByTagName('a')[0];
   
       var user_id = parseInt(user.href.split("/").slice(-1)[0]);
       var user_name = user.innerText;
   
       if (user_name.includes("infinity")) {
         console.log("User, "+user_name+", has been blocked.");
         post.innerHTML = "<div style='color: #D5DEE5;'>User, "+user_name+", has been blocked.</div>";
       };
   
     };
   };
   

   
   
   EDIT: FUCK, I had a syntax error too...
   
   There was a semicolon (";") inside my "if" statement.
   
   The updated code will work EXCEPT THAT, on top of all that, finny has altered "infinityshock" to "inflnityshock".

   I bid $10,000 for the whole package.
   
   Just so I can preserve his freedom (but I will take a kidney, tho, and put that shit on ice for later).

    gadzooks Dark Matter [keratinize my mild-tasting blossoming]
    So the taxonomy goes something like...
    
    Pseudointellectual (thinks they're smart but ain't).
    Intellectual (intelligent, but thinks inside the box).
    Antiintellectual (unintelligent, but thinks outside the box).
    Postintellectual (intelligent, AND thinks outside the box).
    
    ?????

    As far as my own personal position on climate change goes, I err on the side of "consensus" simply because of how strong that consensus is. Something like 97% of climate scientists polled agree that climate change is occurring, and that it is a result of human activity.

    I don't know what to make of it. I posted it here so people like you can help inform my opinion. I want to hear what you have to say about climate change.

    
    I think that article provides an interesting perspective. I'm not trying to dismiss it as being utter garbage or anything.
    
    I mean, Michael Crichton might mostly be known as a world-renowned author of fiction and T.V. shows / movies, but he's also a trained medical doctor on top of that.
    
    What worries me, though, is that it can become so easy to take what he's saying as some kind of proof positive that climate change is completely false.
    
    Or even that he is somehow "anti-science".

    Originally posted by Michael Myers You assume correctly. I used to smoke cigarettes though, from age 13 through 18. I would smoke two packs a day. I also smoked some cannabis and hashish every once in a while back when I smoked cigarettes, but I have never smoked it after I puked my brains out under a bridge because of a bad trip. I drank alcohol once in a while as well, and I drink coffee from time to time, but it's more milk than coffee, to be honest. I'm religious, mind you, but I did not practice during my teenage years, since I was completely put off by the idea of stepping foot inside a mosque after I had to go nearly everyday during my elementary school days. During my elementary school days, I would get up at 8 A.M., get ready and be at school at 8:30 A.M., until 3 P.M. Afterwards, I would have time until 4 P.M. to arrive at the mosque, for Qur'an lessons; the teacher was an abusive asshole who went on to leave his own wife and kids behind eventually, what a nice, exemplary man, huh? Those classes would last from 4 P.M. until 5:30 P.M., then I'd be home by 6 P.M. and I would have to go to bed at 7:30 P.M. I stopped going to these Qur'an lessons when high school started. You can see why the idea of going to the mosque completely put me off. So I completely distanced myself from Islam during my teenage years, and I did things I shouldn't have, but thank God, I embraced my religious roots before I did something I would absolutely regret and couldn't take back.

    
    I gotta say I admire the dedication.
    
    You're at least not a hypocrite (regarding drugs), and that's pretty respectable.

    I mean, being called "niggasin.space", and with the banners and all, I imagine that someone with such a high propensity towards using caps lock might sit right on the same point of the IQ bell curve as someone who would think this is a website exclusively for African Americans.
