Tremendous amounts of data that shows that climate change is real and
happening. For every one 'scientist' that claims it is not real, there
are a thousand with the proof that it is real. Those claiming that
climate change is not real have been unable to publish their results in
peer-reviewed journals. Instead, they rely on the Cato Institute and
Rush Limbaugh to deliver their 'data' to the unsuspecting public. There
really should be no mention of a 'scientist' in the popular press who
believes that climate change is not real. Consider that many of the
same scientists who believe climate change is not real also believe in
intelligent design and a geocentric universe.
I am earning my Ph.D. at Penn State where there are scientists whom
have data showing that climate change is real and occurring. It is not
a matter of believing in science (including evolution and climate
change), science requires no belief, either something is real, or it is
not. The right wing is attempting to reduce science to a belief, like
religion. Science is not religion. Science is self-correcting. If the
data is wrong, it will be discovered in peer review or soon afterward.
I am not a climate scientist, so I will not discuss the specifics. I do
not wish to credential monger like those at the Cato Institute and
others on the right. I urge everyone with a mind to look at the facts
of climate change. Real scientists, thousands of them world wide, have
data showing that climate change is real. Meanwhile there are a tiny
percentage of people, many without credentials, telling us that they
believe climate change is not happening and that we should believe
them. I do not believe anything. I am a scientist.
By the way, I am an atheist against Bush. How any thinking person,
never mind an atheist, could be for Bush or believe his lies is
flabbergasting. Atheist 4 Bush is either a troll or a fool, but no
atheist.
