"No biggie" is actually correct. Tremendous loss of life means literally nothing in the grand scheme of things

And of course there's never been any history of agenda driven scientific research to promote a political cause. No one has ever fudged numbers, science is science regardless of the motivations behind it and it's never something to be questioned.

Again, what is your evidence for number fudging climate science? Or GTFO.

That's like asking what is your evidence for people with ulterior motives using the State to advance their causes? But then narrowing in on something so specific that there isn't a specific example.

There is definitely proof of agenda driven and biased scientific research.

Man. That CDL post is the climate version of his previous greatest hit, Don't Do Rocket Science Now Because Rocket Science Will Have Done Itself Later (Maybe, Baby)™.

That's a logical fallacy, a mistaken line of thought, pure nonsense. Why is it spreading to another topic?

Man, I should totally just use the Thayer approach when I review my next manuscript. It would save me tons of time and effort.

"Scientists fudge numbers because of ulterior motives. Check Britannica. Reject this for publication. "

You're still just misinterpreting everything as a Climate Change Denial and arguing specifically about that when that's not what it's about at all and nobody you're arguing against is denying it.

I dunno, you seem to think I don't know about the existence of junk science like it's some sort of point in your favor when I do this for a living.

I'm much more scared of the current President doing something that results in a significant loss of life than climate change causing a significant loss of life in the next handful of decades.

There are a million more important issues to worry about. Climate change caused by man probably already has lead to significant loss of life. Significant yet irrelevant.

This bizarre worldview where we should apparently be striving for no bad things to ever happen and no one to ever die isn't and never will be realistic and it's an asinine goal.

How about the goal of simply moving from more damaging to all of us technologies to less damaging to all of us technologies? Asinine?

How about the goal of somewhat reducing corporate profits in order to provide safe drinking water to more people? Asinine?

I don't know, how about basically anything designed to accomplish anything other than making money for ALPHAS and/or killing off BETAS?

If someone's life is so ****ty that they're dependent on drinking tap water to literally survive I actually would prefer that life die off. It's not worth living.

It's pretty easy to not die of thirst afaict.

I can't keep up with the takes in this thread. Is that an endorsement for culling?

Dude gets to post an idiotic oped in the NYTimes. Not on his blog, not on some fringe breitbartesque website. The NYTimes.

Doesn't get the response Thayer likes.

Ergo, CENSORSHIP.

more like enforced famine and drought below a certain economic level?

woe unto those who can't even afford a tap to (not be able to) drink out of, as they too fall victim to tut's experiment in eugenics

I mean, I am pretty damn sure about many of the known molecular mechanisms by which lead is harmful, and I am quite sure about many of its effects on people. I also, based on these things, advocate for particular political outcomes. But I guess if I really wanted to help the people of Flynt, I should piss over decades of scientific inquiry that has survived numerous independent tests and instead tell people how you uncertain it all is, how it's unclear how and why lead might be harmful, and how scientists who want policy changes are not to be trusted, and then Hoi polloi will really get it and be all about funding positive changes for the Flynt water supply.

If Big Lead was anything like Big Oil - there would be a nice living for you in taking that stance.

well wookie, calling reliable observations about reality science is unfair because that makes those reliable observations seem kinda reliable, and that's BIGOTRY because it doesn't equally respect the feelings of people who are wrong or of conspiracy theorists or of people who are ****ing morons, you elitist globalist cuck

darned liberals always talking down to people like you do with SCIENCE is why you GOT WHAT YOU DESERVED with TRUMP

. . . I mean it's not even parody anymore, everything I just typed is legitimately part of present discourse with no irony or exaggeration
