Will the people here consider a question ?

Question

that while not on the subject of Global Warming directly will expose the thought patterns that cause a skeptic to be so!

Believers will still probably not become skeptics but they just might begin to comprehend why the evidence that overwhelms them leaves us cold and asking for more and better.

Answer 1

the problem that exists is that there is very good evidence that AGW is real, and is a problem.

"skeptics" tend to be deniers that pretend to not be sure yet.

however, the sources they quote are just not reliable.

the heritage foundation and oism just don't make it as bastions of science.

the cato institute, and the energy industry aren't unbiased in the least.

some post youtube as if it was reliable.

when you see postings that indicate AGW is a problem, the good ones post honest science, from real scientists.

and then we get "it's a huge conspiracy to keep all the people at NASA, NSF, NOAA, and many more employed."

it's unbelievable.

EVEN BUSH said it was a problem, and that now we need to find means of addressing the problem such that the US economy can make a profit doing so.

if i see such a question that has some rationality to it, i'll probably reply.

even though i think the poster has his mind made up sufficiently that there is no way in the world that anything at all can change his mind.

Answer 2

Why mess around just post your question

Answer 3

James E

I will consider the question. See you tomorrow.

Answer 4

I look forward to answering your question.

Answer 5

It's probably because skeptics realise that global warming has enough evidence that it's happening, caused by us and probably harmful which is why all skeptics accept it as such.

The denialists just don't understand the evidence and why it is the way it is, it gets explained a lot around here (and in other places on the net so there's really no excuse for still believing in the nonsense that humans can't affect the climate of this planet).

Answer 6

Nothing wrong with that philosophy. I dwell on the unknowns, as with most skeptics. It's a perpetual gathering of knowledge and not isolated facts.

Answer 7

If I have this right this isn't a question but the pre-curser to a question you will post tomorrow, why!.

Why not just post your question now, this is just a waste of time and probably a rules violation here, as you are not really asking a question.

Answer 8

No.

It does not matter if the so-called "skeptics" don't understand the evidence that proves the existence of man-made global warming. It is a proven fact--and facts simply ARE.  A person either knows and understands the facts or they are ignorant. There is no "thought pattern" to it.

If a skeptic wants to "ask a question"-first they need to admit they are ignorant and be willing to learn. Then the questions will have meaning. Otherwise, they area waste of time.

Answer 9

I look forward to the question!

Answer 10

I'm always open to a challenge. I'll be there. But I'm also going to be away for a couple of days, so please don't cut it short.
