(CBS) Obama doesn’t have an American birth certificate, climate change isn’t real and evolution is a scientific fantasy. If a recent survey is any indication, you can add the widely disproved autism vaccine link to the pile of ideas Americans love to believe regardless of the research stacked against it.
What they mean by evolution, is that any change to the environment will cause a species to go extinct. Darwin called it survival of the pathetic. A tiny change in atmospheric chemistry or ocean pH is simply impossible to cope with.
“climate change isn’t real”
sigh..no one denies..”climate change”..always has..always will..
Do they misquote because they are really that ignorant..
Well, yes and no…… they realize they don’t have the intellect to engage in discussion of things like climate change, so they attempt to frame the conversation as being born of ignorance or stupidity……. that elevates them of them of the responsibility to actually inspect the various theories and ideas.
Amount of change and time scale involved are both factors for species survival. But you already knew that, right?
Are you suggesting that the chemical properties of Aragonite in sea shells has changed over time?
Referring to your general point of any change to environment being fatal to a species. What specifics are you now referring to?
The claim is that CO2 decreases ocean pH, which makes sea shells too soft. This in spite of the fact that shellfish evolved with CO2 levels more than 10X current values.
So, the fictional 2-3 degree change/century would be too much for any species to cope? Forget that all cope with much more than that on a daily basis……
After Krakatoa erupted, all life on Earth perished.
lol, it was just too much to adapt to……..
And Wildly divergent Climate patterns within a region over the short lifespan of a wild animal bear no resemblance to the minor drift in Global Mean Temperature…you already knew this, right Dan? Daily and seasonal variability is vastly greater than .5C over a century. If a winter or two were a week shorter some years and a week longer in others, will the Pika even know? Is there a little Pika stonehenge where they gather to pray for a few more weeks of frost? Maybe the Pikas have been hiding Obama’s birth certificate all this time, and THAT’s why he didn’t show it. 🙂
Isn’t it telling that people will go to no ends in attempting to characterize others as stupid while betraying their own lack of understanding of the very ideas they espouse.
Things the media believe but science does not support: silicone breast implants cause XX, agent orange cause XX, DDT causes XX, every returning vet from any war is a killer waiting to happen, Covairs were overly dangerous,
We media hacks are so smart and so with it!! And those stupid people out there are such rubes!
KILL CLIMATE SKEPTICS!!!

All the most respected Climatologists!
The SKEPTICS are those that doubt weather is always changing and current conditions are within natural variability with no fingerprint for a human contribution!
The SKEPTICS are those that build models to support their beliefs that humans need to be controlled by restricting their use of available energy at an affordable price.
The Skeptics are telling us the Sky is Falling and it is all YOUR fault!
