      No doubt that the USA has done a lot of shitty things and I don't like their government no matter who is running it.

      However, to say Covid was directly caused by Americans is very stupid - if it wasn't transferred from an animal, then it is more than likely a leak from the Wuhan lab which had identified faults and flaws before the pandemic, which the Chinese Government and their respective ministry should have dealt with.

          I wasn't saying that the US had no involvement in the lab, because yes they provided some funds. But my point still remains the same. Will say though, pretty sus that the scientists doing investigation to find disease origin source who dismissed that theory were also connected to the lab.

                  @Maz78: The left lives on the side of reason and science. There is truth in that, science is an objective measure of reality and, although it can be wrong, it has the benefit of admitting so and altering a hypothesis to match current data. This is the problem with the right — they're a bunch of toddler babies throwing tantrums that they aren't getting their way because the data doesn't match their predetermined viewpoints on the world. They fight against reality and make the world a worse place for all of us.

                  So yes, the left is better and the news from the left (whilst often biased) at least acknowledges objective reality.

                              how many times does this need to be said?

                              "Gender is the range of characteristics pertaining to, and differentiating between femininity and masculinity. Depending on the context, this may include sex-based social structures (i.e. gender roles) and gender identity.[1][2][3] Most cultures use a gender binary, having two genders (boys/men and girls/women);[4][5][6] those who exist outside these groups may fall under the umbrella term non-binary. Some societies have specific genders besides "man" and "woman", such as the hijras of South Asia; these are often referred to as third genders (and fourth genders, etc.). Most scholars agree that gender is a central characteristic for social organization.[7]"

                              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender

                              Leave it to a typical conservative to argue about a topic they have no knowledge about because the news told them to be angry about it. Now they're gatekeeping gender. Yikes.

                    Is this the 99% of scientist argument? Or are you talking about specific scientists, because there are scientists who have specific expertise on both sides of the argument. Aren't we allowed to question the claims and predictions, most of which in the past haven't come true? Are we allowed to question why certain scientists ignore some data, and who funds them? Do they have a vested interest in making certain findings? How will turning off our coal fired power plants, shutting down our coal industry including exports affect the global temperature?

                    The problem is that those of us who are genuinely interested in debate and getting answers to questions get shouted down, getting called toddler babies throwing tantrums, not having objective reality. Talk about predetermined viewpoints.

                      @heal: Look at it this way. Let's say we conducted an experiment to test the acceleration of gravity. We drop a ball off a 10m height, measure the time it falls and then repeat this 100x to get an average acceleration. We land on 9.8m/s^2. Now, another scientist postulates that perhaps this is due to your altitude so the experiment is repeated, but this time at the top of mount everest and also at the dead sea depression. We note that the acceleration is largely equal to 9.8m/s^2 but note very small deviations. We do not suddenly conclude that the first experiment was necessarily wrong but delve into why it was different. We study the topic and come to the conclusion that gravitational acceleration certainly largely is 9.8m/s^2 but that this depends on the distance from the centre of the earth. As such, we alter our hypothesis from the first experiement and continue to test is against further rigorous methodology.

                      Do you see what happened? There was a consensus built over time based on new data that altered the original understanding. This is how science works. If you are talking about global warming, our understanding continues to evolve and change in terms of specifics, but the consensus remains that the earth is warming and this is very likely due to man-made greenhouse gases. The economic impact of changing our behaviour to counteract global warming is not a scientific question, it is a political and social one. It may be right or wrong in this regard, but the merits of climate change as a science are not suddenly debunked because you don't like the conclusion/plan to fix it.

                      Can science be corrupted by human interest? Of course. Just like any human endeavour. Should we throw it out the window because of this? No. This is why we have peer review and rigorous testing methodology that tests conclusions. It is why, in science, nothing is ever set in stone. If, in our first example, we note that objects start falling at 11m/s^2 towards the centre of the earth, we will then need to change our understanding of how and why gravity works or find alternative explanations for the discrepancy - individual corruption or otherwise. With respect to climate change, despite the right's best efforts to continue to corrupt the message, the data continues to point to the same conclusion over and over - that human-driven greenhouse gases are warming the planet.

                      You are welcome to question scientific methodology and conclusions, but do not think that your conclusions are valid simply because you have an opinion. You need data to back it up. Pointing out flaws in human nature do not counteract objective findings either. So, if you are doubting scientific claims, bring the data or shut up.

                        And that's the attitude I'm talking about. There is evidence both ways and simply ignoring or dismissing scientists that provide contrary evidence just because you are sold on global warming is pretty poor imo. Telling someone who has serious doubts and questions to shut up is a common theme amonst the believers.

                        I do know there is data on the contribution to co2 levels by India and China, and that destroying our coal industry will have next to no influence on global climate. Any savings we make will be eaten up by China's massive increase in co2. Have you heard about how many coal fired power plants China is building?

                          @heal: Where’s your data mate. This all come down to objectivity. If you have claims that refute scientific consensus, you need very strong evidence. And don’t give me crap about conspiracies and the like. They have no place in rigorous peer review. The reason you can’t argue on the merits and continue to gas light the issue is because you likely don’t have it. It’s the same old crap.

                          Read my reply again. The issue of solving climate change is separate from the conclusion of climate change being real. Again, science is an objective measure of reality and doesn’t care about your feelings.

                              @heal: You ask no questions though (other than overtly rhetorical/loaded ones). And where am I triggered? I have been more than patient in explaining how the scientific process works. Here we go with more right wing buzz words.

                              You simply make statements with no evidence. Therein lays the problem. Here’s some advice: if you are faced with a scientific conclusion you do not like, start by asking questions rather than immediately doubting. It’s ok to ask questions and defer to experts who have spent much more time studying the topic. Read around the topic and delve into the literature (Google scholar is a fantastic resource). Make an objective conclusion based on facts rather than feelings.

                              And again. Climate change being real is wholly different topic from the solutions to it. Political and social vs scientific reality. You can admit climate change is real but disagree with policies to address it. But the right just denies the truth in the first place because the conclusion and inevitable solution hurts their feelings (wallets, specifically oil/coal/gas, who happen to be best buds with Murdoch and the liberals). That’s the problem.

                                @blergmonkeys: "You are being manipulated to enrich billionaires at the cost of the rest of us."

                                Which is nothing new. That's an old and proven recipe and they know it works each and every time. Because, they too are human and have the same human nature. Romans coined it some 2000 years ago. Give people bread and circuses, so they won't make trouble. They just swapped that with beer and footy. It is not then hard to understand why in third world countries people don't do anything. Just rinse and repeat.

                                You don't have to be scientist or very intelligent. Common sense should tell you how easy it is to manipulate YOU.

                                It's like people saying, I don't care about politics. I don't care either. In fact, the world doesn't need politicians, but they chose to have them.

                                Now, while saying I don't care about politics, at the same time I do. Because they are the ones making decisions which will impact not someone else's life, but mine too. So even if you are as selfish as a fox, you should still care. Because it doesn't affect someone on Mars. It affects you, personally. So, even if you don't care about others, you should still care, especially because not many can say, I'm rich, it doesn't affect me.

                                What's even more ironic, is that politicians making laws today, those laws are to stay which will also affect their family and friends and their descendants. While they may be well off now, this changes. There were so many rulers and rich people before, yet, neither them, or their descendants are anywhere to be seen. So, even though they get rewarded for making life harder for all, but themselves, in their ignorance, they should see, their families won't perpetually be rich and untouchable.

                                But, just like a kid in the room was offered a whole box of sweets if they don't eat that one on the table for 5 minutes, and ate it, regardless that they could get the whole box, so, too, politicians can't see, that even though they themselves might not be affected today, there is always tomorrow, with some other politicians and rich people. It won't be their family sitting there on the throne.
                                They take peanuts and in that process even shoot themselves in the foot.

                                This is why nothing will change. Science doesn't matter, because ignorance and selfishness overrides it. People are saying, the bible is just a legend. Well, you might heed that legend where it talks about the flood. When Noah said, there's going to be flood, people were just. Ah, who cares, let's have fun. And it is the same now. That is why I know, the inevitable will come.
                                Whether you are rich or poor, it won't matter. Whether you believe science or think it is just mambo jumbo, won't matter.

                                It is so easy to build a better world, but it is never going to happen. You would need to change human nature for that to happen.

                                Met someone who said, don't get vaccinated, it will change your genes. Maybe they were onto something 😅
                                Don't know, didn't even get that 5G as they said. Must have been given a wrong vaccine.

They literally vote against their own interests thinking they too will one day be part of the 0.1%. All the while, denying what experts tell us about the future of the world or the current state of it. It's so frustrating.

                                    I'll tell you one thing. Just turn the other way. I know, many would say and I was asked why don't you stand up and fight. My answer is simple. Fools die for ideas. So many times you end up being the first and the last, and nobody in between. Because people have life to live and they are busy with their own lives, not seeing that by doing so, they are actually not even caring about their own life, let alone that of their children. And step by step, it is becoming worse.

                                    You can't help the world that doesn't want to be helped. It is just how human nature works. They were never made to work together. You would think that in this age of knowledge and technology, humans would start to understand, but, seeing how many survivor shows, tik tokers, instagram, facebook, etc. stuff is still thriving, tells me, you'll just wear yourself down.

                                    Let's take an example like Greta Thunberg. She thinks, she is a warrior. Yet, while she may win some battles, she is not going to win the war. She is in fact just a puppet, to look like something is being done. For something to be done, you need the world to come together and I don't see it happening. When, people in well off countries can't do that, how can you expect those that just think of how to put bread on table today, will do something.

                                    This ship is sinking. They keep patching small holes, while that huge gaping hole is taking all the water and patching those small holes will only slow the sinking by a fraction, inevitably, it will sink and pull down everyone, even the rich.

It will likely amount to very little, but at least I can say I tried when my son is old enough to ask me what was done to combat the downward spiral of the world. I try to live sustainably and will pass this onto my child. It's my little part, but I do recognize the likely futility in it all.

                                      As for Greta; I feel for her. It's just amazing to see grown adults attacking a child and an entire populace of people cheering on their bullying ways. Humanity is so sad sometimes.

                        This is how science works.

                          @1st-Amendment: You really understand nothing.

                          Consensus is the demonstration of repeatable results based on a hypothesis. It is testing a hypothesis via different methodology to end at the same result. This is how consensus is built and how scientific conclusions are made amongst a community of resesarchers.

                          As for the article you posted, I will admit I do not have the requisite statistics knowledge to understand what they are talking about. Please explain it to me rather than just linking to it. Explain to me why that article you linked undermines, specifically, scientific consensus on global climate change as a widely accepted theoretical framework for global climate models.

                          And your last point — I will simple link you to this: https://d3laewezlz9ul2.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/202…

                          You think explaining climate models is as simple as showing a graph with error bars - it doesn't work like this. Science is orders of magnitudes more complex and consensus comes about from iterative hypothesis-testing-conclusion studies. If you think it is that simple, then you have likely an extremely rudimentary understanding of the science and maybe you should consider taking a slice of humble pie and just step back from the argument. Entitled ignorance is a cancer in society nowadays. Every joe blow thinks their opinion is valid because they googled exactly what they want to believe.

                          Perhaps, if you do not have an appropriate understanding of a matter, it is better to just defer to experts rather than listening to only the side you want to be right (specifically, Murdoch and it's ilk). And yes, you will come back saying that I am doing the same - but here's the difference, I stand with scientific consensus behind me. You can deny consensus all you want, but you just keep showing how ignorant you are on the subject.

                          Oh well, how interesting. Let me ask you a question. Why do you care about that? Actually I'll reformulate that. Whether it is human caused or it is just earth cycle, or perhaps both… it doesn't matter. What matters and what you should be more concerned about is, that most people are living in cities. Probably you too. Maybe, you are lucky and live somewhere in the country, breathing fresh air?

                          If you understood that majority live in cities and also breathe all those gases from vehicles, factories etc., polluting air, water and earth, then you wouldn't care about that graph of yours.

                          You see, you are more concerned about some graphs, than even about your own health and your family. You might not get cancer, but your quality of life is lower. Imagine all those billions of vehicles not emitting one particle of pollution. Electric vehicles are not the answer either. While they might be better, nevertheless they are just a lesser evil.

                          So, you see, even if you think all this climate change is just a hoax, you should still care about your own health as it affects you too. You might not live in the city, but you are paying for it, because more people get sick and need medical attention, which costs. It affects animals and plants and that all adds up.

                          I bet your car is mostly occupied by one person. Imagine how much pollution that creates and at what cost, to just drive one person, and you can see that all the time on our roads. Most cars have just one person in there. One person.

                          So, you see, you should do something about that even if you think climate change is caused by earth cycle.
                          But, no, let's just debate whether climate change is real and what some graph shows.

                          Now you see, how easy people can be manipulated. And this world is only heading deeper and deeper into rabbit hole without an exit.

                          If only in your ignorance and selfishness, you could see, but… You would rather just sit there arguing while still falling into the abyss, blind as a bat and deaf as a doornail.
                          Have fun while you can, because when the shit hits the fan,(the fun has just started), fun will be gone and your opinion won't matter. Not that you will have more understanding then, because those who are convinced against their own will, are still of the same opinion.

              In my experience no-one is arguing for communism in this, or any Western, country. It is no coincidence that so many billionaires own media corporations. Once the wealthy oligarchs realised they could control the narrative by controlling the media, capitalism became the message du jour. Media owned by the moneyed will promote their message whether they are "left" or "right"; they just have different benefactors.

                            @1st-Amendment: Ok, one more point because I can't let this stand.

                            That article you posted. It's done by a guy that has no science background, he is NOT an MD. He is a charlaton using the MD moniker, running around in scrubs pretending to have scientific knowledge.
                            https://twitter.com/ShellenbergerMD/status/14339472924284968…

                            The article has multiple issues. It is not a study but cherry picked data from select surveys.

                            How did they find their respondents? How did they confirm their voting preferences? What were the specific questions asked and what wording was used?

                            This is the problem — you use cherry picked articles to support your conclusions whilst ignoring the overall science.

                            Irrespective, this clarification was needed because you again show very little knowledge on the subject.

                            You have not proven anything, you have not backed up any claims, you just reside on the left the dunning-kruger, yelling into the ether your ignorance because you can't accept that scientific consensus is just that.

                            You know what comes off as more genuine? Admitting a lack of knowledge in a subject and defering to experts. But no, your google-fi trounces that. I suppose if you were sick, you would treat yourself rather than going to the hospital because google told you so.

                              Lol, you are the gift that keeps on giving…

                              It's done by a guy that has no science background

                              Argument from authority, ad hominem and Strawman all in one post!
                              So much for logic and reason lol… Instead of claiming to be right in every post, maybe use some logic and demonstrate it. You know, how actual science works…

                                looking at your post history, maybe a bit of introspection would help you, but let's be honest, you are a typical agnorant (arrogantly ignorant) conservative.

                                so you be you and keep posting garbage uninformed posts.

          there's trash on both sides… but I'm sick of leftys complaining when they live in one of the most egalitarian countries in the world..

            @cobrakai: Australia is no longer egalitarian in many ways including housing.

            People are struggling to get their first house while government policy makes housing a plaything for the rich.

          Many people regurgitate trash from Sky and the Herald Sun/Daily Telegraph the busted Nine/Fairfax machine and vote for the Liberals Greens/Labor while life gets harder for them.

          Determine whether either of those statements is more or less correct than the other.

            @Seraphin7: One side supports science.

            The other is a bunch of toddlers throwing tantrums because objective reality doesn't meet their predetermined views on the world.

            So no, they are not equivalent.

            @Seraphin7: You are showing your bias by associating the Greens/Labor with Nine given Costello is the Nine chairman. You can't seriously suggest that one of the chief architects of Howard era policy promotes a Green/Labor bias?

            @Seraphin7: Nine/Fairfax has former Liberal Treasurer, Peter Costello as Chairman.

            Just another conservative media outlet.

            Edit: I see someone else has posted the above. They clearly have more critical thinking skills than the person that brought this up.
