Quote:Not throwing people in prisons ... yet. But here is a Warmist idea of humor:




As far as religion, I agree, support for scientific theories is not the same as religion. Support for Global Warming (er, we better change the name to Climate Change since the globe hasn't warmed in a while) is very much like religion. In science you create a theory, then postulate consequences of that theory and test the theory. In religion you create a dogma and explain away any discrepancies. With science you take measurements to make your case while keeping an open mind. With religion you paint non-believers as evil, create strawman analogies ('witches'), and give them a derogatory name ('heretics'). Look carefully to see what's being done in this case.

I see the majority if the derisive attacks to flat out deniers since until recently that has been the oppositions standpoint. I agree and most climate experts agree that though the think its likely humans have caused it that the data is not fully conclusive in the matter. There are still people denying that anything at all is happening and, in my perspective, those are the targets.


I still dont see it as the same. And no to you and flsprts, they are not ever going to treat people the way proponents if heliocentric theory were treated.
