CJFrancis, I find that global warming deniers are frequently also evolution deniers. The Internet is their best forum, as here they can rant unencumbered by the work of actual evolutionary biologists or climate scientists.Thousands of scientists are studying climate change by collecting and analysing information. Climate change deniers can fill forums like this with their opinions and links to denier blogs. However, they aren’t measuring ice thickness or carbon dioxide levels.l]

Wouldn’t it be easier to just say they are backwards hicks who cling to God guns and religion.CJFrancis, I find that global warming deniers are frequently also evolution deniers.

No, that would be an ad homimen attack. I’m more interested in exploring the social factors underlying the connection between evolution denial and global warming denial. Why are these two frequently linked? What issues are involved? What presuppositions might impel it?Wouldn’t it be easier to just say they are backwards hicks who cling to God guns and religion.
Your phrase “UN purposes” is what I’m having trouble with. One purpose of the UN is to provide a forum for the discussion of issues with regional or global implications. I don’t think the purpose of the UN is to stop global climate change, if that is what you mean. Maybe that’s not what you meant.Sorry, I’m doing a bunch of threads on abortion and health Care.
I’m asking if what UN purposes will stop climate change, in your opinion
ps already the UN conference has been politicized / falling apart…read below in one of my posts
It smells like guilt by association to me - I’ve heard it too many times before. Scientific inquiry is always a good cover for other things. Notice the AGW people - they have no intention of finding any truth that disagrees with their preconceived hoax.No, that would be an ad homimen attack.

It is amazing that when the left gets caught cheating and lying, their defaualt is to always attack and belittle the messenger instead of adimitting they’ve been wrong. Nice try.
Your referring to it as a “preconceived hoax” sounds like a preconception that would blind you to any facts in support of AGW.It smells like guilt by association to me - I’ve heard it too many times before.

I, like many, went in search for answers to questions to AGW. It was the AGW movement that made me say something isn’t adding up. First I found Mr. Gores Lies that are taught in school…and then it was down hill…Your referring to it as a “preconceived hoax” sounds like a preconception that would blind you to any facts in support of AGW.
You say you find that “global warming deniers are frequently also evolution deniers”. On what do you base that statement? What does one have to do with the other? It must be nice to smear someone with an attempted slur rather than dp the checking. I know many scientists who do not believe in global warming, and some if not most of them are atheists. Their response when questioned about global warming is that “You can’t establish a theory of warming on only 150 years worth of data”. BTW, I have no problem with evolution. However, I do need valid proof that global warming is actually happening. So far, nothing. Dendrochronology indicates that we are not going into a warming phase, but coming out of a cooling phase. This is based on solid (literally) evidence from thousands of years. As far as CO2 is concerned, don’t we need that for trees and other vegetation so the plants can make oxygen?CJFrancis, I find that global warming deniers are frequently also evolution deniers.

Nevermind the poltics of the secular and God denying world, I have this little ditty of a book published by the Maryknolls that embraces liberation theology through the mode of ecology. This is enough to show us how much of an albatross the environmental theories have become. The book was published circa 1989.I find the Global Warming farrago utterly fascinating. It is a amalgam of two utterly disctict non Christian viewpoints…humanism and pagan Gaia/Earth mother worship.
Humanism in that it insists “we” create our circumstances. Gaia worship in that it transposes the notion of sin to be anything which increases Global warming. Thus travelling by car is sinful as is dyeing clothes.
These viewpoints are utterly divergent but share a loathing of an acceptance that God is Our Father nd that He charts the course of history.
You know, in all these threads, I’m STILL waiting for some pro-AGW person to explain the number-fudging happening in these programs and data that have been leaked. I was on the fence until I saw them with my own eyes, leaked from one of the institutions responsible for the three main global temperature datasets.Notice the AGW people - they have no intention of finding any truth that disagrees with their preconceived hoax.
Facts? To loosely quote CS Lewis “Satan uses a pint of poison in a lake of clear (facts) water.”Your referring to it as a “preconceived hoax” sounds like a preconception that would blind you to any facts in support of AGW.
That’s what I’m curious about.You say you find that “global warming deniers are frequently also evolution deniers”. On what do you base that statement? What does one have to do with the other?
One of the things this episode points out is the speed with which the global warming position is unraveling. Given that over 230 APS members have already signed the petition, the myth of scientific consensus will surely be one of the first dominoes to fall. We’ve all heard about tipping points in regard to the climate, well we have now seen one with regard to climate theory.Here is what some top American Physical Society Scientist say:

It’s not the “facts” as much as the fact of who’s determining things as facts and the asinine conclusions they draw from them, such as Al Gore stand in front of a calving glacier (which only calve when excess cold causes freezing weight which then pushes them outwards into the sea where they break off in brittle chunks and become icebergs) and he calls that melting. Melting glaciers recede not calve. My fourth grade kids are intellegent enough to laugh at that ignorant hoax.
How come none of those AGW expert scientists didn’t catch that little deception?

This is not about whether the people who reject the scientific theory of AGW are reluctant to change, are concerned with the environment, or are working for an oil company. It is about whether their objections are valid. The science either does or does not confirm the theory and most people should be able to recognize that that fact is utterly disconnected from the personal integrity of the people who oppose the theory. You cannot defend a scientific claim by maligning those who reject it. In fact, resort to deprecation is a strong indicator that no better argument is available.The fact is that most people don’t like change, so our natural instinct is to oppose a viewpoint that tells us that we should change. So, even though we know that reducing pollution, including greenhouse gasses, is a good thing, we are concerned about having to change.
