"Science!"... The word that makes conservatives shudder.
Lots of smarty-pants stuff going on there involving people who have studied a lot of stuff in detail for decades...all sorts of numbers and charts and whatnot... If it came from there, IT MUST BE SORCERY!
Burn them! They're witches! Where's my pitchfork?
Conservatives = people who have not at all evolved since the Middle Ages.
Even the ISIS and Taliban conservatives might have a more enlightened view of science.

During the middle ages, the "scientific consensus" was that bloodletting was a sound medical practice for healing the body of "bad humors of the blood". That allowing wounds to basically marinate in their own juices was healthy. That the number of species on the planet was exactly what it was when God created the universe - no more, no less.
Care for me to continue?

If Leftists and eco-fascists had any respect for "Science", they would never have invented (and implemented) post-normal science.
Yet another doomsday scenario, this one about ocean life. Funny how these extremely negative situations are not newsworthy when a REPUBLICAN is president...probably because everyone knows that Republicans and Conservatives couldn't care less.

Go back to selling your overpriced Japanese junk. Adults are talking here.
A team of scientists, in a groundbreaking analysis of data from hundreds of sources, has concluded that humans are on the verge of causing unprecedented damage to the oceans and the animals living in them.
“We may be sitting on a precipice of a major extinction event,” said Douglas J. McCauley, an ecologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and an author of the new research, which was published on Thursday in the journal Science.
But there is still time to avert catastrophe, Dr. McCauley and his colleagues also found. Compared with the continents, the oceans are mostly intact, still wild enough to bounce back to ecological health.
Science has made us all live longer, live better and made our food safer. Yet when science tell us that the earth's ecosystems are collapsing simultaneously people act like science has no clue at all as to what is going on. LMFAO I just don't understand the denial, it's like co-dependants in an abusive relationship with an alcoholic. Maybe if I pretend there is no problem it will just go away
Right off the NJ coast trawlers drag nets and toss non targeted sport fish by the ton while the feds restrict sport fishermen with size and daily limits. the state incurs more costs to make the bust than is worth the fines. the fine so meager it has become a essentially a 'permit' to fish where they are not allowed. the state sits on its hands while the fisheries get raped. then they want you to get a salt water license. Back in the 70s future food harvest was to come formthe sea. With deteroriating nuclear subs salted across ourt oceans the death sentence is passed.

The difference is that educated people - including most members of the scientific community - have left the middle ages since then and made a lot of progress in creating an evidence-based body of knowledge.
But of course, conservatives would still be denying gravity if it didn't fit into their backwoods world view.
