Pruneyard Shopping Center v. Robbins, about 1980. Funny realizing that case is 40 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 When people don't know the difference between "weather" and "climate", don't understand the properties of CO2 and CH4, and how/why they contribute to warming, albedo, ocean acidification (positive feedback loops), etc. -- it really shows. Hanging out at the NASA page is a good place to start. You can also work your way through Peter Hadfield's excellent youtube videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52KLGqDSAjo&list=PL82yk73N8eoX-Xobr_TfHsWPfAIyI7VAP Deniers are corporate shills. There is nothing new here -- just like when doctors and "experts" used to tell you that smoking was good for you. When the facts were done piling up -- well, we all know how that turned out. Scientific "Theory". https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/just-a-theory-7-misused-science-words/ https://www.livescience.com/20896-science-scientific-method.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 21 minutes ago, dwilawyer said: "A scientific theory is a well-tested, broad explanation of a natural phenomenon. In everyday life, we often use the word theory to mean a hypothesis or educated guess, but a theory in the context of science is not simply a guess—it is an explanation based on extensive and repeated experimentation," Not very good definition I don't think. For example. The Theory of Evolution is not based on "repeated experimentation", but on observation, testing, and the accumulation of information that points to a likely conclusion. The "theory", or most likely explanation, stands until there is data that disproves, or falsifies it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedcrankcammer Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 28 minutes ago, dwilawyer said: That's the definition of a "theory" in the scientific realm. Here is a common definition which includes why some get confused on terminology. Theory of Special Relativity, Theory of Gravity, Theory of Plate Tectonics, Quantum Theory, etc. "A scientific theory is a well-tested, broad explanation of a natural phenomenon. In everyday life, we often use the word theory to mean a hypothesis or educated guess, but a theory in the context of science is not simply a guess—it is an explanation based on extensive and repeated experimentation," True and if had said there is scientific evidence that supports Climate change, that would be a correct statement and I would say there is also scientific evidence that says otherwise which would also be true. But there is no scientific fact... Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 So, now this: The story was first reported on the Military Times and then picked up by the Washington Times. I've been waiting for the rest of the media outlets to pick up it up. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2020/05/06/coronavirus-survivors-banned-from-joining-the-military/ https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/may/6/military-permanently-disqualifies-coronavirus-surv/ I love this line: "... the likelihood of recurring flare-ups, even if someone has had two consecutive negative tests ..."

I'll be interested to compare your "facts" right now to your "facts" in 3 or 4 months. So the best you can come up with is an unprovoked attack without the ability to defend your own view point or provide any viable proof to an alternative belief..... Sad !!.....
