Every person is susceptible to bias, especially amongst the people he or she identifies with. This explains why the science people accept has a strong correlation with their political party: conservatives are the ones who reject evolution and climate change, liberals tend to reject information about nuclear power, fracking, etc.

A combination of cherry picking, a lack of in-depth understanding of the field is, and commiserating with their "party" is what perpetuates their strong indignance towards opposing evidence, scientific consensus, etc.

You haven't looked at shit. You've been told about the evidence found, and about the lack of evidence of other things, and you believed it.

And not only are you trusting the experts, the experts are all trusting each other. Individually they can, at best, only sample the body of evidence they collectively rely on for their major conclusions.

>Neither would disprove evolution you fucking idiot.
Nothing would disprove evolution. If God flew down on a cloud, beard flapping in the wind, and announced that he created all life 6,000 years ago, then maybe he was lying. And if he demonstrated fantastic powers and then pointed out evidence that the world couldn't have existed more than 6,000 years, then maybe he's a trickster-alien who changed everything in the world just to fuck with us, or maybe we've all been abducted into The Matrix and are no longer observing the real world. Or just, "Okay, smarty-pants. Where did YOU come from? Surely your species evolved. We do genetic engineering and alife simulations too, but that didn't invalidate evolution."

However, if stuff fossilized in under 200 years, and dinosaurs were not extinct at all, most of the credibility of paleontologists and evolutionary biologists would be lost.

>.01% would turn the earth into a snow ball
It would be the end of trees due to CO2 starvation which would influence climate, the greenhouse effect however would have very little direct impact on the climate unless you assume that the positive feedback forcing hypothesis is true.

Though if you do, please explain how CO2 is the only greenhouse gas that somehow can amplify its measured greenhouse gas properties by several times while much more potent gases doesn't do it.

Self-feedback from water vapour should've toasted all life on earth long ago if we assume uncontrolled greenhouse feedback to be a thing.

The answer of course is that, like most other systems observed in nature, climate is kept in check by negative feedback systems. If earth could've become an everlasting desert due to a spike in CO2 it would've been an everlasting desert already, because during the hundreds of millions of years of earth history natural variations or rare events would've triggered such an event already.

In the absence of competition or predation life follows such a feedback pattern which is why the earth is covered with life today,

Not exactly. You would need a healthy (or some) understanding of atmospheric physics to understand why Earth's equilibrium is such that it prevents catastrophic run-away under modern conditions. However, this does not make it impossible induce a catastrophic run-away effect -- it would only take unrealistic temperatures (for modern Earth).

Regardless, by understanding the differences between Venus' atmospheric composition and Earth's, you should be able to understand why Venus underwent the run-away effect, yet Earth did/has not. I'll post an elementary explanation from a book I have on hand.

Furthermore, by understanding how water vapor maintains equilibrium vs. CO2, you may get a better idea of why scientists claim CO2 is a more significant driver, even though it's significantly less effective as a greenhouse gas.

That depends entirely on what you mean by "evolution".

When you talk about people denying "evolution", normally this means the whole atheistic world history package starting from abiogenesis to the totally unguided development of all terrestrial species until mankind showed up and started practicing artificial selection.

Nobody seriously disputes microevolution (i.e. children can differ from their parents, but tend to resemble them, therefore a population can be somewhat different a few generations down the road). That was common sense long before Darwin.

The disputes are more along the lines of things like young-Earth creationism and guided evolution.

Oh, absolutely. I didn't mean to imply that atmospheric composition was the sole reason, but I wanted to focus on atmospheric composition for transitioning into why some scientists claim CO2 is more significant of a driver than water vapor despite being less potent of a greenhouse gas.

Right. They claim the Methanosarcina were increasing in number due to the changing of the composition of the atmosphere killing other organisms, which caused the Methanosarcina to change the atmosphere more by expelling methane, which killed more organisms, which created more Methanosarcina, etc.

There is no positive feedback mechanism here.

You could perhaps argue that the extinction provided more organic matter to the bacteria, but at the point where they're seeded with lots of new organic matter the extinction would already be well underway and as such the cause for the extinction was not positive feedback(but positive feedback may have been an aggrevating factor)

Are you pretending you don't recognize the point I'm making?

A greenhouse gas causing a catastrophe by self-feedback would be that greenhouse gas raising temperatures, causing more of that same gas to be released, raising higher temperatures, causing more of that same gas to be released, etc. until a catastrophe is reached.

A gas which happens to be a greenhouse gas having an effect on life, unrelated to temperature increase, which causes a different gas to be released, which then increases the temperature, is not "self-feedback". And it's not a "feedback loop". It's just a chain of consequences.


>>>Temps got hot and with the temps getting hot more co2 was released.
>>So if the rising temperature, due to the methane, drove CO2 out of the ocean, and CO2 being in the ocean is what caused the release of methane that increased the temperature, is that positive or negative feedback?
>Positive obviously, how can you be this dumb?
Let me walk you through this again, in small steps for a small mind:
- the CO2 came from volcanoes into the air and ocean
- the CO2 that was in the ocean caused life to thrive which produced methane
- the methane drove the temperature up
- this caused the CO2 to move out of the ocean
- CO2 not in the ocean was not causing life to thrive and produce methane

CO2's main role was not its properties as a greenhouse gas, but its effects on ocean life. The CO2 concentration in the ocean was what was relevant to this effect. The heating moved it out of the ocean, reducing its ability to play its role.

That's not positive feedback. The CO2 that mattered for causing a disastrous temperature rise was in the ocean. Warming drove it out of the ocean.

Can you seriously not get this?

That is an accurate summary of the argument, although I am unsure if the extinction would have been as massive with or without this "feedback". Undoubtedly, volcanic activity served as the catalyst. Furthermore, it's generally accepted that volcanic activity is not enough to account for how massive the extinction was. Hence, the various hypothesis being debated.

The thing about ice caps melting is that even if it isn't completely melted it can do 2 things
1. Cause a run away effect since the ice caps bounce light off of the earth, melting those would cause a positive feedback loop
and
2. Decrease above water land for use in living and farming

Its wrong to lump these together. Unlike the efficacy of vaccines and the testing of the theory of evolution, every meaningful prediction of Climate Change has failed.

1. evolution: deliberately encouraged religious insanity (for political power) & no grasp of science

2. vaccines: mass hysteria, homeopathy shills looking to make bank, & no grasp of science

3. climate change: all scientists will observe that the climate is changing, but they disagree about the causes of the change.

to the average idiot, the fact that even one scientist disagrees with another about "climate change" means "no change is happening at all".

>climate change
But that one isn't as solid and it's been clear that many places have forged their data which is a disgusting thing in the name of science.
It is convenient to push cleaner industry though. GOD FORBID THE AIR WE BREATH IS CLEAN god I fucking hate that people need a reason to keep air clean

>Evolution
I think it's hard to deny SOMETHING's up. But I try to be considerate of other people's beliefs because for all we know maybe we are wrong and then whose laughing?

>Vaccine safety
There IS grounds but people are going about it in such a fucking retarded way. If you have concerns about a reaction (which again, is perfectly reasonable) then fucking talk to your doctor about it and ask about ways to make sure so that way shit doesn't get hairy. Dont' go "oh my god I'll get autism" because clearly you already have fucking autism and I'd rather have a slight reaction than fucking smallpox.

Freedom. Only problem, whole world suffers under muricas freedom. And after they killed millions of innocent people, they wonder why the children without parents try to kill muricans. But wait, how about invading a country that's not involved to all this at all? Seems like a solution...
