Nobody gets force fed anything. They choose to sit in front of the tv and listen to the media feed the narrative from the people who are actually literate in the field.
Ummm...you realize that we're talking about public schools right? You realize that going to school is compulsory? And if you believe that the media actually picks the most "literate in the field" to talk about science.....well you have far too much faith in the media. Seriously. There are people who are extremely literate when it comes to science who reject AGW and evolution as the origin of species just like there are people who are scientifically literate who reject the idea that deficit spending got us out of the great depression. Economics, by the way, is considered a "science." So if you believe that only the "literate" scientific viewpoints get into the media...then why are you a part of a movement that rejects conventional wisdom on economics? Seriously?
Are you aware that the founder of the weather channel wanted to sue Al Gore for fraud over Gore's global warming claims? Do you think the founder of the weather channel is not "scientifically literate?"
And the narrative is political. That audience doesn't generally look at the facts through a scientific lens because they can't. Most are a product of the very infrastructure that helped create the problems. So they don't "question"nything at all. They recite the narrative. It's their livelihood. So they take what the media feeds them and run with it and the whole time removing themselves from the actual democratic process without even knowing they are doing it to themselves. That's political science 101, Jmdrake. How can you not understand that?
How can I not understand what? What you just wrote has absolutely nothing to do with anything I said, or anything to do with your own thread for that matter. Again, we are talking about what will or will not go into a state funded public school curriculum and whether said curriculum "dare" question the dogma of Al Gore and the liars who said they needed to "hide the decline." Did you know that Al Gore's movie "an inconvenient truth" is barred from public school in England unless it
Cripes. I know for a fact I've told you how I felt about the entire global warming narrative.
Yes. That's why I brought it up. I'm calling you out. You think that people "don't understand" science or your position when we simply
disagree with both your "science" and your position. Trust me. I have a fantastic memory. If I bring something up I've most likely done that on purpose.
Of course, I'm not excusing reckless infrastructure either. If you can move beyond what you're being fed from "the news" sometime maybe we can discuss that.
Again, this is
not about the news. It's about the public school system which largely has a captive audience. Yes there are ways around that captivity. Ron Paul's homeschool curriculum, as flawed as it may be, is one attempt around that. I welcome others. I also welcome moves by state legislatures to at least put some limits on the blanket indoctrination that's being pumped into innocent children. I was all for fighting global warming back in the 80s before most people had even heard of the term. I changed my mind after looking at the science. So frankly I find it insulting that you or anyone else would claim it is "anti-science" to question conventional views pushed about science. Do you realize that at one point the "climate science" community was pushing "global cooling?"
Oh yeah, and they blamed cars for global cooling.
