I guess that the article # 13 & 14 that I posted is dead accurate that once you go to University and get a Degree, then you transition from a Climate Change Denier / Skeptic to accepting that Climate Change is a reality.
The self proclaimed experts also stated 50 years ago,...that the globe would not be able to feed the population by now, and their would be mass starvation.
The planet is now producing more food than ever,... partially because plant life thrives in the current climate.
There was another unrelated grand proclamation by more self proclaimed experts, that a car would never be able to accelerate to more than 150 MPH in a 1/4 mile.
We are all going to die because of the stupidity and wilful ignorance of the Alt Right.
We are on the Titanic...We have hit the iceberg...and these clowns refuse to even bail water.
The fact that the human species consistently produces these fools is proof that we are fatally and tragically flawed. We deserve all that is coming to us.

During the Progressive Era of the late 19th and early 20th century, eugenics was considered a method of preserving and improving the dominant groups in the population; it is now generally associated with racist and nativist elements, as the movement was to some extent a reaction to a change in emigration from Europe, rather than scientific genetics.
It has nothing to do with racist views..... so no!!
Dear Phil:
I am not normally one who takes pleasure in the misfortune of others...but...I must admit that it will indeed bring me great joy and much lulz when Alt Right idiots such as yourself find yourselves being the first ones to experience the effects of climate change when tornados start ripping through your shitty trailer parks with increasing frequency and severity.
I will laugh my fucking ass off when this happens to you and fully enjoy every moment until my own home gets flooded out because of your ignorant backwards bullshit. At least I will live slightly longer than you.

Tornadoes since 1970 have been declining both in number and intensity.
Meanwhile...the dumb, misinformed posts that you make have been increasing in both number and degree of stupidity since you joined terb in June 2007.
Hey don't confuse him with facts.
But first one would have to be able to understand the result of more communities,... increases the odds of one being hit by a tornado, with no increase in the actual number of tornadoes.
The same point was brought up regarding Ontario,... with the same facts proving an increase to be factually wrong.
Wow,... now that was incredibly mature and informative post,... keep them coming.,... confirms so much about you.
But seriously,... I can't be held responsible for your inability to comprehend simple logic,... so if you continue replying like a child,... I won't be able to help you.
I notice you didn’t post a link to reference your chart. Where did you find it: InfoWars or Breitbart?personal insults means you are losing the debate
Try reading some actual research from those elitist universities that you hate so much.

Please stop spamming the board with fake science from your climate change denial sites.
AEI = American Enterprise Institute
Not exactly a bastion of higher learning or credible info:

Time to stop talking, Canada Man. Once again your half-baked drivel has come back to bite you in the ass.
Stop embarrassing yourself.
Toronto doesnt get tornadoes, you genius :biggrin1:Dear Phil:

Oh and thanks for being so tolerant of my opinion, you tolerance-preaching Liberal you
Media Bias Fact Check: Incompetent or Dishonest?
As Just Facts grows in prominence and reputation, an increasing number of scholars, major organizations, and eminent people have cited and recognized the quality work of Just Facts. With this higher profile, Just Facts has also been subject to deceitful attacks. A recent example of such comes from “Media Bias Fact Check,” an “independent media outlet” that claims to be “dedicated to educating the public on media bias and deceptive news practices.”
In the opening paragraph of her review of Just Facts, Media Bias Fact Check contributor Faith Locke Siewert writes:
On their article http://www.justfacts.com/racialissues.asp#affirmative, they use the Richard Sander’s (law professor at UCLA) essay “A Systematic Analysis of Affirmative Action in American Law Schools.” To support much of their hypothesis, obviously against affirmative action (seeming also to support the notion of black intellectual abilities being inferior).
Those two sentences contain three demonstrable falsehoods:
“A Systemic Analysis of Affirmative Action in American Law Schools” is not just an essay. It is a peer-reviewed journal paper that was published in the Stanford Law Review. Big difference.
Just Facts does not use this paper to support “much of” its research on affirmative action. The research contains more than 60 footnotes, and this paper is just one of them. Just Facts’ full research on racial issues has 498 footnotes, and this paper is two of them.
Just Facts does not offer any “hypothesis” in this research, much less “support the notion of black intellectual abilities being inferior.” To the contrary, the opening section of Just Facts’ research on racial issues covers the topic of science and presents multiple facts that challenge that notion.
The flagrant and simplistic nature of these bogus critiques suggests that Media Bias Fact Check is either inept and/or dishonest.

Media Bias Fact Check
MediaBIasFactCheck.com describes itself as “the most comprehensive media bias resource in the Internet.” The site is owned by Dave Van Zandt from North Carolina, who offers no biographical information about himself aside from the following: “Dave has been freelancing for 25+ years for a variety of print and web mediums (sic), with a focus on media bias and the role of media in politics. Dave is a registered Non-Affiliated voter who values evidence based reporting” and, “Dave Van Zandt obtained a Communications Degree before pursuing a higher degree in the sciences. Dave currently works full time in the health care industry. Dave has spent more than 20 years as an arm chair researcher on media bias and its role in political influence.”
WND was unable to locate a single article with Van Zandt’s byline. Ironically, the “fact checker” fails to establish his own credibility by disclosing his qualifications and training in evaluating news sources.
Asked for information concerning his expertise in the field of journalism and evaluating news sources, Van Zandt told WND: “I am not a journalist and just a person who is interested in how media bias impacts politics. You will find zero claims of expertise on the website.”
Concerning his purported “25+ years” of experience writing for print and web media, he said: “I am not sure why the 25+ years is still on the website. That was removed a year ago when I first started the website. All of the writing I did was small print news zines from the ’90s. I felt that what I wrote in the ’90s is not related to what I am doing today so I removed it. Again, I am not a journalist. I simply have a background in communications and more importantly science where I learned to value evidence over all else. Through this I also became interested in research of all kinds, especially media bias, which is difficult to measure and is subjective to a degree.”
WND asked: Were your evaluations reviewed by any experts in the industry?
“I can’t say they have,” Van Zandt replied. “Though the right-of-center Atlantic Council is using our data for a project they are working on.”
Van Zandt says he uses “three volunteers” to “research and assist in fact checking.” However, he adds that he doesn’t pay them for their services.
Van Zandt says he uses a “strict methodology” in determining which news sources are credible, but his website offers vague and typo-ridden explanations of his criteria,
Asked if his own political leanings influence his evaluations, Van Zandt said: “Sure it is possible. However, our methodology is designed to eliminate most of that. We also have a team of 4 researchers with different political leanings so that we can further reduce researcher bias.”
Bill Palmer of the website Daily News Bin accused Van Zandt of retaliating when the Daily News Bin contacted him about his rating. Palmer wrote:
“t turns out Van Zandt has a vindictive streak. After one hapless social media user tried to use his phony ‘Media Bias Fact Check’ site to dispute a thoroughly sourced article from this site, Daily News Bin, we made the mistake of contacting Van Zandt and asking him to take down his ridiculous ‘rating’ – which consisted of nothing more than hearsay such as ‘has been accused of being satire.’ Really? When? By whom? None of those facts seem to matter to the guy running this ‘Media Bias Fact Check’ scam.
“But instead of acknowledging that he’d been caught in the act, Van Zandt retaliated against Daily News Bin by changing his rating to something more sinister. He also added a link to a similar phony security company called World of Trust, which generates its ratings by allowing random anonymous individuals to post whatever bizarre conspiracy theories they want, and then letting these loons vote on whether that news site is ‘real’ or not. These scam sites are now trying to use each other for cover, in order to back up the false and unsubstantiated ‘ratings’ they semi-randomly assign respected news outlets. …
“‘Media Bias Fact Check’ is truly just one guy making misleading claims about news outlets while failing to back them up with anything, while maliciously changing the ratings to punish any news outlets that try to expose the invalidity of what he’s doing.”
But Van Zandt accused Palmer of threatening him, and he said MediaBiasFactCheck welcomes criticism. If evidence is provided, he said, the site will correct its errors.
“Bottom line is, we are not trying to be something we are not,” he said. “We have disclaimers on every page of the website indicating that our method is not scientifically proven and that there is [sic] subjective judgments being used as it is unavoidable with determining bias.”
