Then why are you trying to push your anti-science anti-global-warming political agenda and propaganda onto this science fourum?
Originally posted by @metal-brainIn case you hadn't noticed, scientific dialogue goes through peer-reviewed journal articles, conferences etc. and not popular-scientific television programs, which invariably contain some errors or simplifications. Since you are not an active scientist working in a related field, nor an expert on the relevant literature, your view cannot be "based on science and facts."
Just to be clear I am not a partisan creature. I am very pro science in every way. My stance on global warming is based on science and facts. Anybody can watch the nova episode and see it contains false information. This is not a mere opinion, but an undeniable fact. Those partisan creatures who say otherwise are anti-science hypocrites.

Originally posted by @apathistYou are uninformed. All that proves is there is global warming, not man made global warming. This warming trend started over 300 years ago from natural causes after the little ice age.

Originally posted by @apathistWhat specific facts are you requesting? Ask and ye shall receive.
Short on facts. You noticed this, right?
Originally posted by @metal-brainI'm saying that PBS broadcasts aren't part of "science" in any meaningful sense, and neither is Al Gore's film. If you think there is something wrong with the science, find errors in the peer reviewed literature.
HA!
So are you saying it doesn't matter if PBS' Nova ignores scientific dialog or that it is regretful that Nova contains the same false information that Al Gore put in the inconvenient truth?
I have news for ya pal, most people don't get their opinions from journal articles. That is why over 90% of all people think temps lag behind CO2 when it is t ...[text shortened]... resort to ad hominem attacks. It isn't my fault you are wrong and are in denial of the science.
Originally posted by @kazetnagorraYou are being dishonest. Nova is a science program, at least they claim to be. They have recently exposed themselves into being propagandists which apparently you agree with since you are distancing yourself from Nova as much as you can.

Again, you can't claim to have a view "based on science" if you're not a scientist. The best you can do as a layman is find out what the s ...[text shortened]... y shows that the scientific method tends to be more accurate than pseudoscientific explanations.
Originally posted by @metal-brainYou conveniently forgot to mention the things the Nova program got right about climate change. Furthermore, KazetNagorra is very clearly correct. Getting your information from popular television shows and politically-biased news websites is not how scientists form objective opinions about the validity of claims. You need to dig a lot deeper than you're willing to. When prompted, you conveniently ignore the work and and any data that goes against your opinion, focusing only on those results that muddy the waters a bit. That's where you lose your objectivity and credibility. The big picture is obvious.
