>>16172497>al gorehe got honoris causa phd from the most gay university of poland xD
>>16172497>moneyBut all the money is in business. In fact, if you suck corporate dick you can make millions as a scientist. History is replete with scientists who sold their souls to corporations from Thomas Midgley Jr who lied about the dangers of leaded gasoline to all the researchers who lied about cigarettes for decades.You dumbfucks have to twist yourselves into absolute knots in order to not only ignore the mountains of evidence about climate science but to conjure up the most ludicrous conspiracies imaginable just to suck oil company dick. Oil companies who know the science is against them so badly, they now openly admit ithttps://www.basf.com/us/en/who-we-are/change-for-climate.html
>>16172571>As Shermer observed, many science journalists see their role not as neutral reporters but as advocates for noble causes. This is especially true in reporting about the climate. Many publications now have reporters on a permanent “climate beat,” and several nonprofit organizations offer grants to help fund climate coverage. Climate science is an important field, worthy of thoughtful, balanced coverage. Unfortunately, too many climate reporters seem especially prone to common fallacies, including base-rate neglect, and to hyping tenuous data.

Scientific American became complete garbage around 5 years ago. Unreadable.
>>16173020It's been garbage for at least 20 years. I'm not sure what changed 5 years ago, but I can only imagine DEI authors and gender nonsense.
>>16172487>have you read this text? thoughts?I read about halfway through. I would have to read the columns that Michael Shermer submitted to properly comment on it.
>>16172571well, we're done here.
>>16173020its been trash for decades
National Geographics got destroyed the same way. Did Popular Mechanics?
>>16176857all those media outlets are owned by the same people
>>16177679
>>16172487its manipulative popsci trash, always has been. those kind of publications strongly appeal to the type of people who prone to dunning krugerism, they read a two page article and presume they're then as expert as people who've been in their field for decades
>>16172487its just another political propaganda rag thinly disguised as a science publication, everything in there is a lie
>>16180645Same goes for Nature
>>16181103its true for just about every major publication, its necessary effect of having a monopolized media, they all shill the same lies
>>16180645scientific american has never been a scientific journal, it has always been pop-sciprove me wrong
>>16173020>>16176281>>16181103>>16182771>scientific american>nature>popular science>popular mechanics>national geographicAll of these were once based publications, maybe better for teenagers than for grownups but still perfectly respectable. They usually stayed away from politics. Sometime between 1994 and 2024 one by one they nosedived into the absolute faggot field and are thoroughly pozzed and monkeypoxxed
>>16182849check this out XD
big freeze 1973 cover was about oil crisisbig freeze 1977 cover was about icy winterthey are not about climate. This is a chud pic
>>16185664tsmtonce i read an article in there about my field i never read that publication again. you can learn more reading used toilet paper

>>16172487the usual incoming deboonk will be that nobody in the 70s actually believed in global cooling, it was like a fringe 2% of fake scientists

>>16182849Most of them not only have had complete turnovers in their staffs, but are now owned by completely different entities. The only thing they have in common with their pre-2000 editions is the name on the masthead. They use that name's credibility inertia to squeeze out a few decades of relevance for their propaganda message. Most of these magazines have fallen into deep declines in readership but the credibility of the name built up in the last century is worth the cost of production to get their message out into the world. They don't need people to read their articles if they can get others to repeat the message and use the name's credibility as the source. Wikipedia considers all of them as valid sources while Bob's substack page might have ten times the quality, it's not considered a valid source even if Bob is a top researcher in his field.
>>16189159who is Bob?
>>16189159>Most of these magazines have fallen into deep declines in readershipyet somehow or other they still stay afloat and continue to sell advertising. does this disprove the theory that we live in a capitalist society?
>>16190253Jeff Bezos didn't buy the Washington Post for the advertising revenue, it just helps defray some of the cost. Same for many of these "science" magazines. They exist to push messages and give them the veneer of legitimate science. Subscription fees and advertising money is a nice way to lower some of the costs involved but aren't actually necessary.>>16189292He's a big boy.
>>16190577Bezos bought the post because he can use it as a means to lobby congress to give money to his other businesses, since everyone in DC, including members of congress. reads the post every day.
>>16191745He made $20 billion in defense department contracts for Amazon within a year of paying $250 million for the post
>>16191745>everyone in DC, including members of congress. reads the post every day.how do you know?
>>16192506Thats where I live and work
>>16172487those ones on the left are correct, the current interglacial period peaked thousands of years ago and we've been cooling off ever since
>>16193308are you a cia-glow-in-the-dark-nigger?
>>16194279No, but I know a lot of those people. They're mostly jewish, the CIA is strange for a government agency in that very few blacks work there if any. I can't remember ever encountering anyone black connected to the CIA. Terry's epithet is inaccurate in that way
>>16195549doesnt CIA have DEI department?
>>16193824Ice age incoming
>>16196453Unironically until humans started warming the planet with our waste heat. A warmer, wetter world is better for humanity anyway. New deaths from extreme heat will be dwarfed by cold weather death reduction. Climate change is a net positive, as is higher CO2.
>>16196197No, they're exempt from all domestic laws.
>>16172497Something like HALF of Tesla's life time earnings are from selling scam carbon credits, just like Al Gore does. Let that sink in, half of Tesla profits are worthless greenwashing certificates that mean nothing. The other half is free gibs from the US government. https://nypost.com/2023/02/20/al-gores-eco-friendly-investment-firm-owns-shares-in-polluting-companies-report/
>>16196468>cold weather death reductionAlmost nobody was dying of the cold. Unless you mean starvation? But almost nobody was dying of tha either.
>>16197264>put up $$$$ for Green Energy companies>Green Energy company accepts the $$$$This is surprising because..? The only shocking thing here is that Tesla actually makes the items they were promising. Most of these companies just pocket (“spend”) the money and then go out of business
>>16197287Deaths due to cold weather and dying from cold are not the same thing.A fatal car crash due to ice on the road is a death caused by cold weather, but is not a death cause by coldness.
>>16197616>but is not a death cause by coldness.yes it is, coldness caused the road to freeze
>>16197244no way
>>16172487Did anybody read the article?>jewish writer wants to downplay the harmfulness of jewish sexual abuse>gets told no>HOW DARE YOU GOYIM, LE WOKISM HAS GONE TOO FARmany such cases
>>16199138When have you ever heard about one of them being arrested or convicted of anything?
>>16199165Has the ADL moved in to shut them down yet?
>>16189130
>>16199769They get arrested when they're caught acting as double agents for other countries
>>16202105except when the other country is israel
>>16197287
>>16173595It started around 2000 or so, a much younger me had a subscription back in the days when you got these things called "magazines" in your mailbox every month, so I got to see it in real time.They quickly went what we today would call "woke" on climate shit. I saw an interview of the editor (or whoever the guy in charge was) on Charlie Rose (remember him?) on PBS a few years later where he admitted it.I would not be surprised if it has been getting continually shittier since then.
>>16183415i figured that this was the case.i was going to look this up but glad you got there first.here's your +1.
>>16202893ehh
>>16203788>britsopinion ignored and is probably a shit tabloid like the sun. Give me a verifiable resource.
>>16202105when was the last case it happened?
