The world's most pressing political issue explained in a diagram:

@HoraceGreenley Nobody is debating anything. I am telling our European friend about our educational system.

@QuixoticSoul 👍️

@Burnley123 @QuixoticSoul

I don't know guys. What I do know is that we in the UK have an organisation which helps students find and apply for further education courses. Burnley will, of course, know about UCAS. I looked at their website and, although I didn't carry out a fully exhaustive search, all the Bachelors and Masters degrees that I found in any of the recognised "hard" sciences were BSc's and MSc's.

Anyway, as you say QS, this isn't a debate about BA vs. BSc's etc. It's about the human impact on climate change. It's about bogus "scientists" asserting that their is no correlation between human activity and climate change.

@Quizzical If that were true Elon Musk would be running private labs. The ones making the most alarming statements are just reading the data and have zero financial gain.


Again a false equivalence. There is a difference between debates and challenging theories among experts in the field. That doesn't hold true when one party is playing dress up in a lab coat and whose science credentials amount to high school science class.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well, fair enough... I give in

You're right, we should never EVER question anything we are told...

@Quizzical Do you take medical advice from someone who played a doctor on tv once?

@QuixoticSoul Scientists are people too. They don't like criticism.

@HoraceGreenley They sure as hell fucking love leveling it against their colleagues 😂

Downright live for that shit.

@QuixoticSoul

@CountScrofula What do you make of the NDP divisions on that oil pipeline? I know its probably old news now.

@Burnley123 There's an election in Alberta right now. This is very much current news.

The Alberta NDP have basically gone full Blairite and betrayed pretty much any roots they had. I'm disgusted with the party, their craven embrace of the oil industry, and a lot of the shitty stuff they've done that too inside-baseball to bother with. The only real climate change measure they've come up with is a carbon tax, which is a conservative "let the free market" decide idea which pisses people off with limited environmental impact. Unhappy.

The federal NDP have a mildly better environmental stance but they're milquetoast and useless. They had a huge surge in 2011 but collapsed in the next election and exist as a kind of meagre social consciousness. There's no real ties to true left ideas or labour.

@CountScrofula I read Klein's book This Changes Everything and I'm sure you have. I gather that the Leap manifesto has been adopted in theory but not in practice. I read a bit about the NDP leader and he reminded me of Ed Miliband. Someone on the soft left and out of his depth who tries to be all things to all people but ends up alienating everyone. Its a shame.

One of the problems the left has everywhere is that we absolutely need the unions but a lot of big unions have jobs tied up in shitty industries. The conservative end of the Labour movement then frames it as aloof hipster radicals acting against the working class. Okay, but if the planet is fucked, that is bad for the working class too (said sipping on my latte and reading the Guardian).

We have to replace these industries with eco-friendly ones. It's not even a choice.

@Kenscoff And of course if you don't know what Climate Gate is it's not important.

@Kenscoff You do that.

@WindOfAdolf You are so nuts.

@WindOfAdolf No, I mean ken, "one's range of knowledge or sight."

As for science, I'm thinking you wouldn't know it if it showed up wearing camo and chewing tobacco.

@WindOfAdolf Your intelligence and character cut right through your attacks and defenseless claims. You are a gnat at a campfire.

@Burnley123 had no idea you are a mind reader.

@HoraceGreenley It's not mind reading but rational judgement based on observable data.

@Pikachu

@HoraceGreenley

lol yeah, that's what i thought.

@Pikachu

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Has it? I haven't seen those sources and if 98% of climate scientists agree then it's good enough for me. Science has got some stuff right too.

*Copy and paste*

@HoraceGreenley Yes.

@QuixoticSoul OK. Just checking.

Funny how?

@eMortal Its a hoax invented by the Chinese and SJWs. They want you to think that an elephant is there but don't be fooled.

@WindOfAdolf I live in a country where Criticising policies of Israel from a left point of view is sometimes seen as anti semetism. Then I read your nazi shit and wow.

@Burnley123 Yeah when people are trying to find antisemitism in the left because we don't like mass murder of Palestinians they need to keep in mind these 14/88ers actually exist.

@WindOfAdolf Lmao you're fucking retarded as usual 😂

@CountScrofula Huh? I never said that... *am i talking to my wife?* 🤔

@booboo Well you are talking to a Bitch

@HoraceGreenley 😂😂

@DukeOfEarle Its like when people say human shite causes disease. Idiot quacks. It's just nature, dude. I'm too smart for Science anyway. 🤣
