RE: Do you truly understand science? Okay, do you understand an appeal to authority falacy?

in #science7 years ago

This debate makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. I went to an Academy of Environmental Science. We studied and grew strains of algae to turn into biofuels, submitted studies to NOAA and researched this topic for years.
The look on peoples faces when I tell them my opinon is priceless.
Saying that man has or has not caused/increased climate change is arrogant.
Arrogant that we can make a conclusion and fill in evidence later. Science isn't politics. Using it to get funding for studies or push your opinion (i.e vegans saying we should reduce meat consumption because cattle flatulence causes global warming) insults the core of science. To question , learn and solve.
It burns me up however when people say deforestation significantly impacts climate change when they do not even know nearly 80 percent of oxygen production comes from algae in our oceans.

Excellent commentary. I had no idea that 80% of oxygen production comes from algae in our oceans. Thank you for sharing this fact!

It blew my mind too. Especially when so many people harp on we are speeding up climate change. We are killing the trees. I remember when they said use plastic to save the trees. Now we need paper to save us from plastic. #politics haha.
