    A published paper is not the only channel by which science advances.

    F = m X a. What science? Where is the published paper?

    Let’s start with source of material
    upload_2025-1-4_8-50-14.jpeg
    where in this diagram does your “evidence” fall?
    So let’s look at what IS science
    • Published research paper
    • Publication is in industry recognised quality journal
    • Research has a clear hypothesis
    • Hypothesis is tested utilising unbiased and sound methodology
    • Impacting factors are are analysed and identified
    • Statistical analysis is sound

    These are pictures of the three gentlemen that 'liked' the blog link that you dutifully posted for me. I was giving you a taste of the impact of that blog publication and the type of people that follow it.

    This thread is embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for you.

    I've been following this thread casually waiting for one to drop. I suspect it will be a long time coming.

    It’s a public policy issue. Why should seriously researched public information not be taken seriously?

    This is a public policy issue. Well researched public information belongs at the center of it.

    Since I have done my own digging I fully suspect that is true

    NOAA is looking into it though

    Oh! And BTW THIS is science

    I am posting member accounts of fellow readers of the blogs that you post. These are the people that read the blogs alongside you. Your compatriots. Just like your compatriots in these threads that like your posts and help you along a bit.

    If you wish to label that an alternative universe haha, well that's on you.

    I noticed the absence of the word science in this post. Glad we agree, Jack. ;)

    You just confirmed your lack of understanding of the scientific method.

    So, you admit that your claim of “science” is vacuous? Oh! And GOOD “public policy” relies on SCIENCE not “wot sum bloke on da internetz sed”

    And I will keep posting this until people “get” it.

    We have free speech and free association. The identities of other readers are of no relevance whatsoever. Your post seems to be an attempt to deflect from the topic.

    The science was already cited. Your approach seems unusually desperate here.

    It wasn’t about that :roll:
    it was to show that the post had an extremely low impact. Even your favourite site “Whatsupmybutt” has less than 30 comments - there are more comments on kitten videos!

    No you claimed it was “science” and have yet to prove that it was. Deflection noted

    The biography, political alignment and education of the authors, the impact of the blogs, and the intelligence of its readers are relevant information.

    This information forms the framework of 'credentials'.
