Help me understand. How exactly is it fake science? How is it that there is so much "fake science" and so many "fake scientists" and "fake scientific organizations" that it's all just made up?

When something that is not at all scientific is portrayed as science, and then declared to be "settled" when there is absolutely no conclusive scientific data about whether human activity has any lasting effects on regional weather let alone global climate , then it is fake science.

Fake scientists are shills who advocate for fake science, regardless of their academic credentials or lack thereof. They typically spend most of their time doing TV shows/interviews and almost no time doing actual scientific research, i.e. bill nye or neil degrasse tyson, are both leftist shills posing as scientists.

If you make a claim, especially with regards to anything scientific, the burden of proof falls upon you. Banning skeptics is pretty obvious evidence that the fake science of climate change, which has thoroughly been debunked time and time again, is losing what little influence it had.

Why isn't it more believable to you that not only are all of these scientists and scientific organizations on the same page, but it makes more sense to deny climate change if it is like you say all about the money? Explain it to me like I'm 5 years old so I can better understand your point of view because the only people I've ever heard deny man-influenced climate change are the same uneducated conspiracy theorists that listen Alex Jones as if he has a PhD in anything other than how to make tinfoil.

Because they're not on the same page, just like shitlery was never ahead in the polls, just like "progressive" libtards are a tiny minority and not a majority, just like the world is not flat.

The myth of consensus is often cited (ignoring the fact that consensus is not a basis for declaring anything to be 'settled' in science), but it's not true and never was. Most actual scientists have very mixed opinions on the degree to which any human activity affects the global climate...and in fact, "global climate" is a misnomer in itself because climate tends to be regional.

That said, why is every "solution" to climate change something to do with expanding govt power, increasing taxes, increasing regulations, coercing companies into producing unnecessary "green" products - all of with have ZERO affect on the alleged cause of climate change.

You can suck the cock of all the phds you want. A moron with a phd is still a moron - and there are plenty of them to go around. When you "educate" yourself with lies and crackpot fake "science", you end up as the educated idiot accusing people who do not buy into your garbage of being heretics. Sounds familiar. Can't prove something? Call skeptics "deniers" and try to brand them as some kind of pariahs.

Alex Jones has been spot-on about nearly everything he reports. Let me know when your track record is that good. It never will be if you continue subdue yourself with the lies of the left. Might be time for you to stop being a truth denier and mentally develop past that of a 5-year old.

So long as your credential is Alex Jones (the man who literally accused Obama and Hillary Clinton of being demons who smelled like sulfur) to disagree with study after study, scientific institution after scientific institution, and the scientific community as a whole, I think I'll head back to reality, thanks. You want to talk about making money and hoaxes? He rides gullible people like you all the way to the bank. You're in desperate need of a proper education.

Yes, I did say the scientific community as a whole that you for some reason believe you're qualified to speak against. Now apparently because of people like you and Richard Tol who like to misrepresent data, we need a consensus of a consensus.
