Opinion writer Randy Scholfield from the Wichita Eagle wrote an
article last week asking why so many people are skeptical about global warming.
Yesterday he got an computer full of responses.
Mr. Scholfield goes on to explain in his response article that most of the "deniers" all think they are climate scientists, and how ill-informed they all are. I did not realize that Randy Scholfield was a climate scientist.
For decades, climate change scientists have amassed an impressive array of evidence across many disciplines -- tree rings, ice core samples, glacier melt, animal migration, coral reefs, isotopes, etc., etc. --to measure and predict warming trends. All of these markers point in the same troubling direction.
That is, if you believe the conclusions of science. Clearly, many Americans still aren't getting those conclusions -- or they simply don't want to hear them.
It's called denial.
As I have said before, science starts as theory until it is proven. And most if not all "denier" scientists don't disagree with rising temperatures. It's the MAN-MADE part of global warming that has not been proven, and of which they do not agree. The funny thing is, if you were to read the scientific work of the "deniers", you would find a different, and valid scientific viewpoint on how those scientific disciplines can be interpreted. They offer other possible explanations for what the tree ring and the ice core samples could mean.
No wonder MSM newspapers are dying all across the country. When they write articles asking for your opinion and then respond to you with their elitist attitude, explaining why you are stupid, well, that's their plan. They think they are helping you. It's their way of showing you out of the darkness and into their light. Unfortunately, it is costing them in readership; but I am okay with that.
People have become wise to the elite media's agenda, not just about global warming, but about many different things, especially in the political arena. So guess what is happening; the people are looking elsewhere for their news.
