Fake news, fake science.....
Who hasn't heard it a million times? "Studies show"---global warming is real and man made. Children in homosexual unions are as normally adjusted as those in normal relationships with a real mom and dad. The stock market is economically efficient. Charter and private schools are much worse than government schools in educating our kids. There are no differences between the races in how successful cultures are. Illegal immigration is not a net drain on the economy. Lots more. Typically, these research results come from universities or "independent" research places. The staff there, typically, are overwhelmingly of liberal sentientalities. At every step of any research project, lots of judgement can enter in to bias the effort. At the idea stage, where hypotheses and theories are used to help decide whether an investigation makes sense. In obtaining funding and research staff. In gathering data, especially using questionnaires. In making adjustments to how research is conducted. You might think that statistical analysis of data would be above board, but even, perhaps especially here, political views can enter in. And, interpretation of results is just that---interpretation. Where to present and publish these bring about further possibilities for bias. All not to mention the biases these researches indoctrinate into their students while teaching, and while being interwiewed by, you guessed it, the alt-left biased media. Finally, who pays the piper still calls the tune. Of course, biases enter into science on all sides of the political spectrum. But only one side predominates in numbers, and has the media in its pockets. Aa.

Have lived/worked/studied in the USA and overseas. Life here is ideal in many ways, but am looking for a life partner who could live in several places for parts of the year, to enjoy climate and cultural variety this would bring. For this, I like the

And just because a teacher pushes a bias does not mean students accept it. There is truth in some of what you say but remember there are good people in the world trying to make a difference for the right reasons not everybody is a shill. The same way not every American likes the idea of Imperial expansion under the guise of Defense
How do you determine the long and short term affects and Impacts of Geo political resource distribution and industry on the ecology of the blue pearl.
"the most favorable profile observed in regular, moderate drinkers
and the poorest outcomes associated with chronic, heavy and binge-type drinking habits"
You can read the whole Study here
According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, moderate alcohol consumption is defined as having up to 1 drink per day for women and up to 2 drinks per day for men. This definition refers to the amount consumed on any single day and is not intended as an average over several days
This is a far cry from four drinks a day as stated in the newspaper
True that
@Luke
I doubt you would be alone in that scenario.
Its hard to only have the one.
Wouldn't it make sense to play it safe and stop trying to burn every last drop of oil and every last lump of coal and maybe leave some of it for our children?
How about FAKE gods and FAKE places like heaven and hell?
"Add to that the mindless destruction of the very things which act to mitigate the conversion of Oxygen to CO2 by human activity namely trees and other vegetation and you have the process in place which has the potential to end all life on earth as we know it" ......I thought the argument was we had too much CO2, with cars pumping it out
The technology exists to convert excess CO2 to petrol, the only thing stopping it as I understand is American shale gas reducing oil prices & making it's production uneconomic, but that would turn CO2 into just water.
If you read the article I posted earlier you'll see humans can't live without CO2 either.
I did a blog some years back about the tech to convert fresh air to petrol, again it'll be on the net as well, the process extracts CO2 from the air & converts it to liquid fuel that can run in any petrol car engine, the exhaust is drinkable water & hot air, nothing else, drawback it was due to be worldwide by now but that was when crude was $100 plus a barrel, it can't compete at today's price, but licences to make it are available to anyone worldwide it'll just need the political will to make it happen, or of course an increase in crude price, governments can't have it both ways, either they want clean air or they want oil wealth & tax.
Who knows what technology is out there where the patent has been bought up & binned by corporations so they can continue to make huge profits at our expense, my first encounter with that was back in about 1956, a chemist friend of the family invented a solution to add to steel to stop it rusting, Ford (UK) bought it from him & binned it, who wants to make cars that last forever
Most of the world's biggest/oldest cities were built on flat land near to rivers with assess to the sea, as my father taught me never buy a house at the bottom of a hill, it'll get flooded, other places were built under volcanoes, presumably because the soil was good to grow food, and other places in equally unsuitable locations, with hindsight none of this was very wise & was always going to be a problem eventually, but are we prepared to live as cave men because of it
-so the outcome of theese studies is quite obvious...
...money talks, alwayes...
If you are against it, then you will be accused as non-believer or heretic.
Go by flow, you may get some financial benefit.
That Exon Video is well worth a watch.
Copernicus didn't publish his book for fear of church's reprisal and actually the Vatican cardinal who was going to burn Galileo knew Galileo's theory was right. But the church was so much involved politics and finances at that time, he was at no position of accepting Galileo's view. It was better to kill him for his benefit.
You can see the same phenomena going on related the seventh day of global warming adventurists. So much money is involved and a few lucrative federal jobs appointed by politician, etc. And the psychology of crowd is similar to the African herd of wallabies. Reasoning is practiced by only a few frontiers. Science was not developed by the rule of majority. The majority always has attempted to kill the truth seeker including Socrates.
And it has still not changed that much.
