If some scientist came out and made it appear that Global Warming was caused by noise pollution,?

Question

do you think the ignorant U.S. citizens would believe this nonsense?

Answer 1

About as much as us DUMMIES believe in GW--

Answer 2

You sound slightly opinionated.

Answer 3

Putting aside for the moment your assertion that U.S. citizens are ignorant, most people get their news from television, either commercial or cable. There are four characteristics of main-stream media in the U.S. today that work against effective dissemination of knowledge.

(1) they dwell on inconsequential issues (Britney Spears, Hollywood divorce spectacles).

(2) they do not explore any issues to a depth necessary for anybody to form an informed opinion.

(3) very few have a clear understanding of the nature of scientific evidence.

(4) their idea of a balanced presentation works this way: if somebody comes out and says that global warming is caused by noise pollution, the media's weakness on science (#3 above) keeps them from rejecting it out of hand. Instead, they give four minutes of air time to the kook and then give the 10,000 scientists who know the idea to be without merit one minute to say, "No it doesn't."

Is it any wonder that many Americans are uninformed?

Answer 4

The real answer here is that the radical left and their Islamic allies are really sun worshipers and there is no way that they will ever admit their god is the problem. Those who have studied science, geography, geology and history know that it is the sun that warms the earth and when sun spot activity is low things cool off like is happening now and for another 20 to 50 years or so.

Answer 5

"ignorant" US citizens get their "science" information from sources like Rush Limbaugh and Fox News. So if you want to try your experiment, you'll have to contact their program managers.

Intelligent US citizens understand science themselves and know that global warming is caused by increased greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.

Edit:

Actually, I'm not paid to limit anyones freedom.  I am, however, sufficiently educated in science and work experience to understand most of the actual science of global warming myself.  You should try getting up to speed a little on the subject before taking the ludicrous position that the vast majority of climate scientists throughout the world are being paid to "limit" our freedom?  lol

Answer 6

Yes you will find some, and even more like Ken who will attack you for having opinions that are different than theirs.

Answer 7

Absolutely there would be those crazies who would jump on that bandwagon. They would probably try to take away sound.
