    Dude, you don’t believe science. All you do is listen to TV saying what “scientists have said”. Don’t act like you believe climate change because you read hundreds of peer reviewed papers and built an informed opinion based on stats. The most you did was a Google search, if ever, and then read from a website from a government-funded institution that wouldn’t get funding if it said the “wrong thing”.

    Spare us your condescension. You’re just in a cult 🫡

      Do you know how research works? Nobody knows everything, and research very much assumes that fact.

      Take modern computers. Do you think there exists a single person that knows how they work in entirety? From the most advanced software down to the intricacies of how electrons move through semi-conductors?

      No. There doesn’t. And yet we have computers, what gives?

      Science is more than just knowing everything there is in a field. It’s a collaborative effort. It’s works that build upon other works. It’s “we have done the hard stuff described in this paper that you can read, but our conclusion is…” and you operate based on that conclusion, if you don’t need to know the full details… and few people really need to.

      You are completely clueless about how modern science, which drives and builds our entire world, functions.

      It’s really hard to tell what’s sarcasm in this comment and what, if anything, isn’t.

      Edit: never mind, reread it and realized you’re just a crazy person.

      “I don’t believe in repeated observations, peer review, and constant updates based on new information all performed almost for free by underpaid academics. Instead I’ve based my beliefs on memes and infotainment paid for by billionaires and religious fanatics who have a stated desire to see the world end. I’m not in a cult though.”

      Science in school is to teach you how to think; The scientific method.

      I believe an made climate change exists because the arguments and data presented make sense when seen through a critical lens.

      If you have an alternative argument and data then I’d love to hear it.

      it’s hilarious how none of the comments address the point of the post itself, instead all just attack the person with made up snarky retorts for going against the echochamber. Reddit lives on in our hearts

        Yep. Exactly. I looked at the responses, and all I could think is “I can spend my whole day responding to all these strawmans from a brainwashed crowd, or move on with my life”. I believe I chose wisely 😄
