Doctor Spaceman posted:Dennis Jensen is the only one with a scientific background, and he's a climate change denier He doesn't seem to actually understand the scientific method though, so does he really count? poo poo, has he even ever written a paper? I'd be interested in it in a disaster tourism kind of way. He was a geologist right?

Palmersaurus posted:“Dr Lanfranchi is a breast cancer surgeon and a clinical assistant professor of surgery. She is the surgical co-director of the Sanofi-Aventis Breast Care Centre and the Steeplechase Cancer Centre in New Jersey. This specific part seems like bullshit because I'm sure whatever registration board Lanfranchi answers to would have some sort of code of conduct which prohibits using one's medical title to peddle dangerous pseudoscience.

It's really telling that the only person in the Liberal party even vaguely capable of commenting on climate change as a result of their background is a vocal denier of it.

Ofcourse the right to free speech should extend to incorrect and outdated medical advice. "B-b-but Free Speech! " really is their catch-all whine, isn't it?

Not really though - he's a material scientist. Climate change denial is full of PhDs who think that their knowledge of a completely unrelated field qualifies them to comment.

Haters Objector posted:I know that. I think we are arguing past each other here, the point I was making was that Keane seemed to be suggesting that the only way to improve the budget bottom-line is through a reduction in direct transfers, which would obviously disproportionately effect the poor. Specifically, he said: Actually, I takes a few readings to parse it but it makes sense. It's saying "if you cut funding to these things, it only hurts the bottom and not the top because the top don't need any of the things you're cutting, so it's unfair if you keep cutting them" But it IS really, really poorly written because holy poo poo that took too long to parse.. meteor9 fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Aug 8, 2014 |

I think the gist was that someone who has completed a science degree should have some vague understanding of the scientific method and peer review for example. Not that this is the case, just that it should be.

It's just some of us who aren't. Especially the younger people tend to be actually pretty aware and environmentally conscious and vote green! Most engineers are boomers though and that tells you most of what you need to know. I should see if I can find any ERA sites.
