Climate change science is wrong and I don't believe their research results say what the "scientists" claim they say. Also I am completely unqualified to have an opinion on the basics involved.
-emails get leaked- Wait no only the numbers they want to show us are wrong! The numbers they have CONSPIRED to hide from us are correct! THIS PROVES THAT THE SCIENCE, WHICH I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND, IS WRONG BY IT HAVING THE RIGHT NUMBERS AS OUTLIERS AND THE WRONG NUMBERS AS CONFIRMED AND THE SCIENTISTS BEING WORRIED ABOUT IDIOTS LIKE ME USING THE OUTLIERS TO CONFUSE PEOPLE! I know, let's open wide ranging and unqualified debate on this and therefore confuse as many people as possible so nothing actually happens based on these WRONG SCIENCE CONSPIRACIES! --------------------- Here's the thing. Debate on the specifics is only useful when it involves only qualified parties and perhaps outsiders who can relate the events to those unqualified to form their own opinions on the subject. I don't invite the interns working on the SAN to debate the finer points of a detailed risk analysis. They don't have the context to understand the terminology and while they probably think they're plenty smart to be involved, they're wrong. So are you. One of the great lies of the internet is that we're all geniuses who can be involved with any subject through enough research on google. Well we're not and the inability to know when you're not qualified to form your own opinion on something is probably the best indicator that you should be ignored on anything and everything outside your core experience. Even if you are smart enough, even if you are willing to spend LITERALLY WEEKS researching the subject, in this subject you are functionally retarded when compared to people who have spent 20+ years doing hard data research on the subject.
