There is overwhelming evidence for manmade global warming from CO2 emissions. Republicans politicians have also had decades reviewing the evidence. Leading to that this report that clearly stated the urgent need for action was published during Trump's first presidency. Because the evidence is overwhelming that Republican politicians couldn't stop the report.

Fourth National Climate Assessment: Summary Findings

This report is an authoritative assessment of the science of climate change, with a focus on the United States. It represents the second of two volumes of the Fourth National Climate Assessment, mandated by the Global Change Research Act of 1990.

There is also a lot of benefits with a transition away from fossil fuel.

Scaling back subsidies would reduce air pollution, generate revenue, and make a major contribution to slowing climate change

So Republican politicians opposition toward action on climate change is based on all the money they have gotten from fossil fuel companies and fossil fuel dictatorships.

yep, you first. Then all the politician and those supporting. The rest of us will follow along shortly.
 

That nutty guy is now the health secretary. That so extreme have anti science become in the US.

It's both about individual and social changes. Like for example I can work from home. While Sweden have also invested in public transport and cycling paths. So I can save a lot of money buy rarely drive a car.

Also the 1970 oil crisis showed the massive cost and risk of being dependent on oil from ruthless dictatorship. So Sweden have since then switch to district heating. Saving mine and many other households a lot of money while also reducing CO2 emissions.

This is how district heating works | Vattenfall Värme

District heating is a climate-smart energy system which heats over half of all commercial and residential buildings in Sweden.

While EU as whole reduced their CO2 emissions to 1960's level.

Fossil emissions ‘finally back to 1960s levels’, say analysts, but they warn levels are still falling too slowly

The vast majority of studies published in medical journals have no FDA involvement whatsoever.

It’s not that difficult. When every single medical organization on the entire planet is telling you to mask, vaccinate, and distance, I would take it seriously.

When every single scientific organization is telling you that a century and a half of research is pointing to the real reality of climate change science, you take it seriously.

Just because some occasional big Pharma study on a particular drug may be biased is not a reason to question the measles vaccine.

You are using the occasional Harvard business school researcher or big Pharma study may be biased is not a reason to question all science or think it’s just as valid as chasing after cat eating Haitians in Ohio. It gets ridiculous.
 
Lets have a little thought process:

The US in all it's glory decides to move back towards the time before we have cars with emissions. We get horses. We grow crops. We barter etc.
You get my point, right?

So how long does that buy the world?
 

Harvard, like most universities has a policy of tenure in place for their professors. But it is not designed to protect those who knowingly commit ethical violations and gross misconduct as this particular Harvard professor has done. Ironically, this woman is a behavioral scientist who manipulated data for her own personal advantage. Pretty gross behavior on her part. Good move by Harvard to remove her tenure.

So you still fly on airplanes that lead to this?



What about cars that lead to this?



How about houses that lead to this?



This all means something is very broken in all of these things. I think you should stop trusting planes, cars, and houses immediately and just live in the wild.
 

Since when does Harvard require that professors not make shit up?

What is this, 1960? I thought the Harvard model is to draw a conclusion, then find or fabricate data to support it?

You must have misheard. But you're not gonna believe what Trump's top people are finding on Obama's secret Kenyan birth certificate, believe me!

Star Harvard business professor stripped of tenure, fired for manipulating data in studies on dishonesty!​

Maybe KING MAGAT can pick him up for a spot in the neo-DoE, he sounds like a perfect fit?

I’ll repeat myself since you seem to have forgotten what I wrote. The overwhelming majority of priests were not pedophiles. They were homosexuals.

I thought the line for the left is that social media are not publishers? Oh, but it's (D) ifferent now that Twitter allows free speech.

It always was and is about the left wanting to censor any idea contrary to the party.

This is a "she," and a leftist Lou.
 
It must depend on the field of study. I certainly was never taught any such things. But then logistics is a very quantitative science. Tac time for production of goods, turns of inventory, quality metrics and such aren't open to social manipulation.

I spent great deal of time with SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio,) still do, but am not familiar with SMSS, which I assume to be a statistical modeling tool. I just used StatPlus and Excel.


Clearly the field and the institution varies. Focus with my group was original research, plagiarism was unfortunately rampant, and of course being published. Manipulation of results would be a fast track for dismissal from the program. In my case it would have also meant dismissal from my job, since the goop people of Lockheed funded the whole thing.
 
Taylor said:
Even the most prestigious journals are full of statistical errors. The peer review process doesn't catch them because often the peer reviewers are no more mathematicians than the study author.

Errors are not fabrications and manipulation. This wasn't a matter of setting the wrong parameters for an ANOVA or regression, she was deliberately falsifying data.
