Why do climate change deniers always assume that anything that even vaguely implies a problem with even one climate-change study is a complete refutation of the entire field of climate science?
Because its not 1 study. Its 99% of all studies..and if the system is this way, how can you possibly trust any studies?? The system needs to be scrapped and started over. If you cant see this or dont want this, you are part of the problem.
Hackernews is supposed to be about free thought and open source and in reality, anyone with an opinion against the narrative is silenced.
Im not even close to a troll and i have had many of my comments silenced over the past week.
True science is striving for the truth, even if it makes that same person wrong.
without truth, we will have no progress. I suppose this means that myself and hackernews just dont have a good 'culture fit'. Im more about getting to the truth, expressing free thought, and having intelligent discussions. Not having to walk on egg-shells and fear the down vote and account ban for saying something that goes against the personal beliefs of the mods.
the community rules are also heavily skewed toward one group, because like many other inclusive groups, its an attempt to socially engineer the thoughts and beliefs of the community. Dictatorships and evil people have been using these techniques for centuries.
If i wanted this, i would work for a big corporation again.
Im done. Its only been a week, but im not coming back.

That's exactly my point. You're saying that the many, many studies that support the idea of climate change are meaningless, because science is a lie. But you still want me to trust your studies that say climate change is a myth. If your premise is true, then we can't trust anything, ever, not even the stuff you like.
