Come on, MM, you get your science education from the Daily Mail? And you expect to be taken seriously?

The same page you sent about the oceans getting heavier (WTF!) is otherwise loaded with links to stories about Angelina Jolie ignoring Jennifer Aniston (now that's science!) and Rosie Whoever's new bikini and Princess Charlotte going to nursery school and Big Brother and a "top story" about meatballs.

So, that's the end of your credibility.

Meanwhile, Shep writes that our management and the scientific world are to be compared for their reliability? He stated that science, and trust in science, functions on "blind trust" when, in fact, science is the exact opposite of that, which is exactly why it is true whether you believe it or not...But he is correct: True (?) scientists do not EVER claim that their hypotheses and theories are final - ALL of science is subject to review, improvement, correction, discovery, etc. So go ahead, Shep, write up your thesis with a whole bunch of valid evidence and show the world your data, experimentation and validation of your conclusion. All the other scientists are already doing that, too. That's how they come to a consensus, by the way. Ever heard of evolution? Gravity? Rockets? Anybody disagreeing with the evidence and consensus is free to do so, but without valid and verifiable evidence, they get dismissed until they can do better. Key words: Valid and verifiable. "The earth do what she do" is a nice byline, but it has nothing to do with human activity's effect on what she do. Humans affect rivers, oceans, lakes, farms, animals and the atmosphere...but yeah, "the earth do what she do."

MM, do more research on your go-to scandal about that 1 supposedly manipulated data story, if you want to stop sounding like a moron to the rest of us. And, how come medical research is ok fine with you? No money and corruption there, right? But does medicine figure things out, improve and get it right most of the time? But...not about climate. Ok, got it. Keep on reading the Daily Mail Online for your astrophysics, geology, biology, biochemistry, oceanography and whatever other science to become so thoroughly and respectfully informed. Ugh!

And another FYI, scientific debate is all part of the program and nothing new. You can copy and paste a list of names from any web site you wish, but that's not how science and reality work. All you have to do is prove your findings and add to the body of evidence. If you want to change the understanding, hypotheses and theories that explain what has been observed, go ahead, but you have to prove it to smart people, not your anonymous Pprune and drinking buddies.
