"If you're ignorant of the history of environmentalism in the USA, and you wonder why no one believes you "Global Warming" bulls**t.....now you know why. Most "studies" don't prove jack s**t because they are done be people with an agenda."Said by the guy who clearly has an anti-environmental science agenda. Please.I trust the science over you, because scientific studies get replicated and if mistakes are found they get fixed. There's a large body of work out there that shows global warming is happening and that we are affecting our environment. We certainly are causing the extinction of many species as well (and forests are important for many reasons beyond the Spotted Owl). So even if what you said is all true, which I doubt, those are but the rare scientific studies that were done poorly or fraudulently, and they were found out to be such -- how? By science!
Easier said than done. It's very rare for someone to graduate high school with the tools to do so. And it's not even that surprising to see someone get out of a university without any improvement to that state.
There was a good one not too long ago which looked at how unreliable meta-analysis was as a predictive tool. Nice information, but the popular press all picked it up as "OMG! Scientists admit they're frauds!"

Someone had to snap sooner or later. I remember reading a study that said looking at boobs could expand your lifespan by 5 years.

someone probably already said this, but:I would agree more wholeheartedly had he not been yelling at me the whole time.

Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!
