    Default The Sensible Environmentalist

    Very interesting take on climate change from the president of Greenpeace [SIZE=0.5]"former"[/SIZE]

    I'd love to read some discussions on this one. (This is your cue Toma)



    Can someone fix this please?

    Very interesting and considering where he came from it's hard not to listen to him.

    How can so many climate change scientists be wrong? He did cover many principles that I think are important. I liked the part where he said Canadians need to stand up for ourselves.

    Look, I have 2 degrees in Science, working on a third, and my transcript of taking random interesting shit (to me) is like 4 pages long lol. I respect science, the scientific method, and the peer review process.

    I don't really argue climate change anymore, anymore than I'm gonna argue against particle physicists, or theoretical mathematicians, or any other scientist. I'll present scientific evidence (real), or pass along scientific opinion, but I wont argue it on a scientific level. You will never win against a "google scientist".

    It's happening, it's real, according to the smart and hard working men and women who's entire education and career is based on science in related fields.

    I skipped through he video quickly, and it's the typical case of cherry picking data that supports his nonsense.

    Climate science is just another victim of the scourge of "google experts" we see to day, at the expense of real science.

    With all those science degrees, you should know about research/experimenter's bias.... not saying you're biased or anything.

    Don't confuse being paper trained with actual work experience. I have bachelor of science degrees too and it doesn't make me an expert on anything, especially for someone else who works on cars for a living and claim to have environmental science superior knowledge. It must be all the independent and published studies he's completed over the years.
