Because global warming is a lie and the GOP are going to call out the dems on this.

If global warming is only true because of secret data then it probably isn't true.

That is not a strawman argument that is a very valid hypothetical argument. At least it was when I took formal logic in University.

You're making shit up.

Even if it were true, corporate trade secrets don't trump public policy!

If you make public policy based on private corporate data.... um, you can't see the problem with this?

Patient data is always anonymous. Show me one instance where it isn't. You can't.

Huh? We use terms like "patient A" or "patient 1212" or "Ellie P". Full names are never used in medical reports.

You just made that up didn't you?

Go look in Medline. If you don't know where that is you have no right talking about what medical reports look like.

fyi, pharma companies hold data secret from doctors and doctors are furious:

"The way this bill is crafted makes it perfectly clear that good science is not the goal. Emasculating the EPA is."

If making the data the EPA makes policy on available to anybody is emasculig the EPA then the EPA deserves to be emasculated.

We don't have secret laws in this country, how would you know if you've broken one?

Secret science is a hideous idea. We can disagree on how we should handle a situation, that's policy but the fundamental facts of the matter do not improve with secrecy.

It kinda already is. How much experience do you have with this and what do you actually know about it?

Why do you assume outside scientists are republican? I'm not but I have a BIG problem with secret scientific data.

In theory all products of government are public domain (since the public paid for it) and this is fundamental "open and transparent 101".

Can you explain why secret data should be used to make public policy?

My god yes, look what it's done to Arctic sea ice in 30 years:

Oh crap, there's no change.

Damn you NASA and your pesky satellites, get with the program here.

"There is ample evidence of Ocean acidification to suggest that CO2 needs to be treated as a pollutant."

Then I'm sure you'll have no problem providing that evidence of this and of any harm..

I can tell you ahead of time corals have genes that switch on to handle heat and co2 and they have survived 7000 ppm CO2 in the past and that this is not affecting reefs which by some miracle are only dying near man where he pollutes; in the open ocean coral is fine.

It's not up to anyone to deny global warming (or "Climate Cringe" us it's not called) it's up to those who believe in it to prove it's true.

The arctic sea ice all grew back - how does that happen in a "warming world"

http://rs79.vrx.net/opinions/i...

And it did this when Co2 was rising. If it was true that the loss of ice would make the world warmer because less is reflected back what does it mean now it's all back? Cooler yet maybe?

CO2 stopped rising:

NASA PR guys mislead if not flat out lie:
http://rs79.vrx.net/opinions/i...

For most of earths history it's been about 8 degrees warmer. In historical context we're in a temperature trough and have nowhere to go but up:
http://rs79.vrx.net/opinions/i...

The polar bears are fine. One nutjob saw two cubs swimming and that was enough to start that alarmism. The latest monograph on the bears shows their population is increasing. It was down by 2/3 till we stopped most hunting, but look at what's still taken. Anyway the ice is back so who cars?
http://rs79.vrx.net/opinions/i...

Sadly this means that nutjob Cruz is right and Obama and Sanders are dead wrong, although I suspect they really mean "fight pollution" but it's better for optics for the worst polluters to say "we're fighting climate cringe" than "yeah we still pollute like crazy. Notice the regulatoin address pollution andnohtin gelse.

Don't tell me it's warming, show me your evidence and I'll tell you if it's warming or not. Notice they never post temperatur graphs any more? Just weasel words like "10 of the warmest years occured in the past 20 years" - that's equally true with descending temperatures too. What they don't say is "each year is warmer than the previous one". Alti they's using outliers here, who cares about transitory peaks the trend is what matters and that's downward.

"And those problems don't even touch on osteoporosis"

Which fluoride is used as a therapeutic treatment for. The smart money would be on taking other minerals as well. Fluoride by itself just increases the rate of bone fixin' you need minerals in the blood so it has something to fix with.

Did you mean: fluoride osteoporosis

Effect of fluoride treatment on the fracture rate in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis
