Does anyone really say climate doesn't change?

In your Orwellian groupthink world, would you allow discussion on how to mitigate the impacts of climate change, rather than just demanding people pay more for electricity?

Yeah, like the fossil fuel companies don't have a vested interest in funding denialist science and spreading false information to keep their tens of billions of dollars of income flowing into their coffers and stalling any lawsuits for the damage they are doing to the environment.

Another Liberal trait.

Another straw man argument from Republicans.


Science is science. Facts are facts. Lets have a debate about if the earth is flat or round?




The mods at Citydata can do whatever they want to do. They can ban whoever. There is no "freedom of speech". This is not the government.

Ah yes... THAT does seem to be the attempted method of those who worship at the alter of catastrophic man-made global warming (CLIMATE CHANGE). Silence ALL who dissent from our religion. Off with their heads, for they are heretics, spreading the words of Satan. They MUST be silenced at all costs!

Crockford first gained her interest in the Arctic in elementary school, when she read about Inuit life and Arctic fauna. Her scientific interest in the Arctic was stoked when she received her first Alaskan Malamute at age eleven. Crockford received her Bachelor of Science in Zoology at the University of British Columbia in 1976 and her doctorate in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Victoria in 2004. Differing from a normal Zoology degree, she chose to focus on speciation in mammals, with a focus on thyroid function.

Crockford is a signatory of the International Conference on Climate Change's 2008 Manhattan Declaration, which states that "Carbon dioxide and other 'greenhouse gas' emissions from human activity...appear to have only a very small impact on global climate," and "Global cooling has presented serious problems for human society and the environment throughout history while global warming has generally been highly beneficial." Between at least 2011 and 2013, she received payment from The Heartland Institute, in the form of $750 per month, which Crockford states was to provide summaries of published papers that might not have been covered by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Fifth Assessment Report. This payment has been construed as an undisclosed conflict of interest, by blogs such as Desmog Blog. Her response to such claims was a disclosure of the job description, how much she was paid, and the duration of the contract.

Although claims made on Crockford's blog have been called into question by polar bear scientists, the blog has been widely cited by climate change denying websites, with over 80% citing it as their primary source of information on polar bears. Critics point out that none of Crockford's claims regarding the effects of climate change on polar bears has undergone peer review, nor has she ever published any peer-reviewed articles whose main focus is polar bears. In 2017 Crockford was accused in the environmental publication The Narwhal by polar bear scientist Ian Stirling as having "zero" credibility on polar bears. “The denier websites have been using her and building her up as an expert,” he told the website.

In 2017, Crockford published the State of the Polar Bear Report 2017 for the Global Warming Policy Foundation. This report was met with widespread backlash for results suggesting polar bear numbers have grown or remained steady since 2005, despite declining summer sea ice levels that Crockford claims should have already resulted in disastrous decline.

Sorry, but she is not an expert on the issue of climate change and seemingly not even on polar bears.
