You may disagree with the climate politics, I certainly often do actually, but don't mix that into the actual science.
    Are you familiar with 'herd effect?'

    Only as it applies to immunity. Careful that is science, could be a conspiracy...

    Crap, you're right. I forgot that Al Gore and Oblabla were backing that.

    Methinks it's not riddles as much as an observation based on past experiences. Like the time you were speaking authoritatively on Constitution, when challenged on the details admitted you really didn't know much about such things.

    No harm there, just don't act superior, as you haven't a clue to what everyone else here does know.

    I don't have a clue what any of this has to do with my reply to you. Tell me about this herd effect. All I can find is "herd behavior" and I don't see how it applies at all. Climate science is nothing like a riot, demonstration, strike or black friday.

    Beyond what Kathi just pointed out, didn't I spank you already about Global Warming a couple months ago? Using your own sources, no less?

    When some claim something is 'settled' as has the IPCC, and governments-two groups that have the power to control the flow of billions of $$$ to and fro themselves, a few things happen.

    Those who dissent, well they don't get published, leading to reinforcement of said 'consensus.' Those that aren't published in academia find themselves without tenure or able to obtain funding.

    It's almost like a 'conspiracy,' except those in control would certainly disagree.

    There are literally tens of thousands of scientists that acknowledge that there is climate change, but question what degree, if any humans contribute or can do to change the effects. Meanwhile, the 'authorities' that proclaim 'consensus' tax or fine' and subsidize those they often are in bed with.

    Source where IPCC claimed "It's settled"?

    Don't mix your dislike for the politics with the science.

    I'm not going on a rabbit hunt for you. Sorry, I don't do that for posters I know and like. I'm not mixing politics and science, the governing bodies and scientists that benefit are the ones doing that.

    My question to all here is what would it take to convince you?

    When you make important and bold claims, you should back them up otherwise it's just your opinion.

    Politics mixes in everything. So why do you trust anything? How can you drive in a car when the science behind it and the companies who build and sell them are involved in politics. How can you trust that car?

    Do you see the irony here?
