Not that most people on Hacker News would agree, but I encourage people to do more research on the topic. MIDAS is funded by NERC, so they obviously aren't going to share this view.
As I understand the origin of this phenomenon is understood to have to do with the axial rotation of the earth, and mostly had effects on the nothern hemisphere.
The reasons and effect of the warming we experience now are harldy comparable.
I tend to think it is a deep-seated personality flaw that a lot of people have but don't realize they have. They think they are more open-minded that they actually are.
I'm heartened knowing that not long ago, the majority of people believed the sun revolved around the earth and anyone who dared to speak against that "settled science" was excommunicated by the Catholic Church.
I don't deny that many progressives are less open minded than they think. But better challenge them things like anti-GMO / pro-organics ideas that don't really have much base in real science.
Unlike in the climate field, you'll find that actually lots of people who research GM / food safety will not agree with the alarmist headlines of GMO or "processed foods".
The climate deniers are the ones like the Catholic Church
The ones that doesn't have any evidence and deny all the experimental facts are the deniers.
The same with evolution/creationism
Ask yourself: Why are there no conservative voices in the climate science field? Why is only one certain type of political class so obsessed with it?
Where are the skeptical scientists of any political stripe hiding out? If these people are all in 100% agreement on this matter it tells me that much more is going on than just science because not even in math and physics do we see that level of agreement going on! It's only in this one area where there is no room to speak one's mind.
The "evidence" you speak of is all based on models. I have seen some of these, been in presentations where they were discussed, and have shaken my head in wonderment that these models are taken so seriously.
Climate science is a religion, there's no mistaking the behaviors of the people involved in it. They even want to pass laws now to limit anyone asking questions!
The only religion is your view.
You're wrong in the claim that there are no conservative voices, you are wrong in your claim that consensus only exists in climate science, you are wrong in your claim about models .
> They even want to pass laws now to limit anyone asking questions!
And now you're just plainly lying.
Ps, a secret, there is a world outside of USA.
