My opinion remains skeptical.
The scientific community of today tends to be very secular
other than the fact that polls show the majority of scientists believe in God or a higher power what does being secular have to do with the quality of the science? spirituality has to do with the scientist not science.
Quote:
and there are always individuals what want fame and name more than to serve the community.
research has to pass peer review...poor science done for whatever reason doesnt pass the community standard
Quote:
Beyond secular they tend to be politicized.
scientists in general have never been known to be politico types...you should be able to name a number of politicized scientists then. can you?
Quote:
I believe there is scientific data out there that is good but I question much of it.
yes of course you question what you don't understand and your corporate ma$ters want to keep it that way
Quote:
The politicians that take this questionable data and run with it to the point of fanaticism are not trying to solve environmental issues, to the contrary its all about power and wealth.
perhaps the accusation is true, but the politicians that you like are clearly all about money...there's really no other reason to be anti-environment.
Quote:
Ever wonder why so many of them become multi millionaires in a very short time on salaries of a few hundred thousand while doing public service?
lobbyist primarily but i'm happy with my representative peter defazio...too bad your representation must be slime.
Quote:
Then there is the propaganda wing of the political party that promotes environmentalism as the most urgent problem ever faced by mankind.
i've not witnessed this...but it's no secret that right-wing politicos live in their own imaginary world fueled by state-run fox "news"
Quote:
What comes out of their news medias is mostly opinion, fake news, promotes those hungry for power. Finding the truth is a challenge.
yes when you followed your evil ma$ters into sophistries your search for truth ended.
Quote:
Then there is hollywood and what comes out of there, the environment related movies and videos I see have their design and intent based on the original propaganda movie "Hitlers Titanic".
If you watch that film you would believe that British engineers were half witted country bumpkins and they were the cream of the British crop of citizenry, all others being much less.
never heard of it...not really into tv at all like you politicos
Quote:
As for the heroin thing, I believe it should be treated like we treat an Ebola outbreak - both suppliers and users.
As for environmental stewardship, I work on it every day and for me, that is about as good as it will get until I feel that local, state and national leaders have a plan that is believable.
yeah we see the pro-environmental work you put in here today...disconnect much?
Quote:
Also, is there really such thing as renewable energy?
yes of course...and the first law of thermodynamics doesnt exist if you really want to get down to it. but we arent at that level of energy direction and matter manipulation yet
Quote:
Is electric really the answer to all pollution problems?
nobody said it was...plenty of ways to produce electricity pollute and some don't and not all pollution has anything at all to do with electricity or power generation or whatever you had in mind. pay attention to the real world much?
Quote:
I think if you track the energy requirements for getting a Tesla on the road it would stack up
against my Vette.
i've not the time nor interest to check into something unmeaningfull overall like this...
Quote:
Also, all of the vast arrays of solar and wind energy collection devices tend to remove vital energy from the atmosphere, its entirely possible this contributes more to climate change than carbon - which by the way is plant food.
erm no installation will have zero impact on the environment but the notion that any vital energy is unnaturally removed in the process is junk physics. and increased co2 with increased temps inhibits plant growth...greenhouse growers do it sometimes intentionally during a heat wave. the science is multi-disciplinary.
