RE: Scientific Consensus: This phrase should make you cringe. At least if you understand science.

Speaking of votes... when I upvoted this jumped from $11.36 to $25.76- wonder why that happens???

The Weather Channel (I subscribe to emails to keep up with local weather- I don't watch TV) seems to be on the "Climate Change Bandwagon." There's always been climate change... always will be- we call it "weather." There's been weather for millions of years and they've been tracking it for around 150. That tells me that the "experts" are pretty much full of shit. Hmmm- maybe if they actually learned science and the scientific method... never mind, that would screw up their narrative! Bad idea! Oh well, I'm just a crazy old man- what do I know???

Must be anthropogenic global warming...

I blame Al Gore!

Clearly Al Gore causes global warming. I think he needs to be heavily taxed. It is for the children.

It's all that hot air!

Is that Gore superimposed on Jeremiah Johnson? xD

I have no idea... It's entirely possible! Someone sent it to me on FB a long time ago.

The people know the scientific method. Yet so much of the scientific information is locked behind a paywall. I do believe that was one of the things Aaron Swartz was trying to set free before he was suicided.

As to the jump. I suspect multiple votes came in and you clicking up vote simply sent a browser message to update the page so it includes your vote plus other votes since the last time the page was loaded/updated by your browser. (my speculation)

So that's how it happens... thanks, I always wondered why that happens... this wasn't the first time.
