Does /sci/ "believe" in global warming?
I just watched the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" and it made think.

>> No.6197245

it's not 'global' and it's only 'temporary'.

>> No.6197255

regardless of it's 'true' or not: using too much plastics, aluminum foil, throwing batteries into lakes, coal power plants, and using a car when you don't need it is idiotic. this might sound retarded, but if we used more wood, we would benefit from it.

If it's good enough for the vast majority of people who actually study this shit for a living, it's good enough for a layman like me.

>> No.6197439

Yes.

If only because 99% of people who actually study this shit for a living say its true. This is how science works. If people had a problem with peoples studies they'd be better off calling bullshit (and possibly winning a nobel) then to go along blindly with it. Peer review nawmean?

Anyone who denies this shit is either politically motivated or is just fucking ignorant.

there are websites that have data on tracking temperatures and certain gas concentrations in the atmosphere since the late 1800s. there is nothing to "believe" in, global warming isn't some tinfoil conspiracy, it's a scientifically backed up fact

No its not you penis. If it were science there wouldnt be a controversy in ACADEMIA.

>> No.6197473

>>6197470
There's very little controversy in academia. The controversy stems from the collision of politics, culture, and science. It seems that when those three collide, science always loses.

>> No.6197479

>>6197470
The only controversy exists in the public sphere, where any idiot can pretend to be an authority on the subject and where big money holds more sway than the facts.
In academia there is no controversy.
