I’d be interested how cancel culture has affected the “science industry” :hehe:

When vice president, Al Gore sacked eminent scientists who disagreed with him over man made climate change. Michael Woodley is just one of the many scientists who have been cancelled for expressing uncomfortable truths. Because now society and academia is increasingly putting ideology before fact. A few years ago, anonymous academics across the globe formed a group expressing their concern over the increasingly constrictive nature of cancel culture in academia. They were anonymous because they feared being hounded out of their jobs. You run around this board like a 6th form know it all, who knows precisely **** all. I'm still waiting to see all this knowledge you garnered from writing a "thesis" on climate change. That was days ago and still nothing

:hehe:

Great response from the man whose whole argument is "i wrote a thesis" lol Are you going to offer J R Hatley for another phone call to straighten things out?

Yes that's a lefties version of him. Thanks for posting an example of cancel culture in that "hit piece"..
. Illustrated my point about cancel culture perfectly.

As ever, thanks for the help RJK

Looking at the references on that wiki I can’t see anything particularly “leftie”

On the subject of trusting the science, i just got sent this link about there being no solid evidence, that depression is caused by low seratonin levels. Yet millions of Brits have been taking anti depressants for years that increase seratonin. Making a lot of people rich. TrUsT tHe ScIeNcE iNdUsTrY hehe

You’re confusing science with industries that use scientific evidence to inform things.

There isn’t a “science industry”.

No one is saying this is perfect all the time but you reach a point after years of work and research where things are a lot more certain.

I’d say we are at the point with climate change. You’re welcome to put a different view point across but I’ve not seen you put one bit of actual evidence across.

Just right wing buzzwords and pseudoscience hacks.

That’s the thing with science it can be transient because new information is always emerging. That isn’t a stick to beat scientific research with it’s a reason to celebrate it. It’s why peer review and independent studies are so important.

Waffle. I'm not confusing anything, scientific research has increasingly become the realm of big money with special interests. You have a childlike view of how the science industry works. You're a very gullible boy who has been conned by main stream media into thinking that you are enlightened for following authority. Most of the scientific break throughs derive from individuals who reject the "current thing" and think for themselves. the exact opposite of what you do.

And yes there is a science industry. Big money buy influence through biased scientific research. That's the industry.

Seems an overly aggressive response :hehe:

What industries would you consider to not be the “science industry”

What industry do you work in, must be a good one with all that free thinking you’re doing.

I work in what you would call a science industry and have a phd, I’m not sure how my view of scientific research would be influenced by the mainstream media.

There’s plenty of biased scientific research and it’s why peer reviewed journals and papers are important, because they aren’t biased.

I must say, it is so much more pleasant seeing others bickering.

Are you serious or is this in itself a wind-up? If the former then I genuinely despair for those people - what sad lives they must lead.

I can't find the post now but someone in this thread recently wrote that even if climate change is a massive hoax, what is the harm in moving away from burning fossil fuels and turning to renewable energy sources? Certainly in the light of recent events it seems clearer than ever that each country needs to be independent when it comes to energy generation. Green energy is more than just wind turbines. It involves completely new thinking in the design of new buildings or insulating existing buildings for example, let alone replacement of IC engines in vehicles. UK should be at the forefront of developing these new technologies which will also provide thousands of new skilled employment possibilities.

A good rule for message boards, act like you would in a pub with the same people, if you made some snidey remark you would expect to be pulled up on it and maybe given a slap, so you wouldn't do it,

Funnily enough, all the best pubs I have been in in my life very rarely involved someone having a slap. Usually because they had decent landlords who knew when people were getting out of order.

not what I meant at all, if you were in the pub and you shouted some snidey abuse to someone, you know what the outcome might be

so you wouldn't do it, so no need to act like that on a message board, its fairly simple

Ah ok

At the same time people should be entitled to give their opinion without feeling stressed or anxious about the majority viewpoint so it works both ways.

Indeed :thumbup:, but they also shouldn't feel they will get abuse thrown at them if they have a opinion that isnt popular with the majority, so the poster who moves from the argument to the ad hominem attacks should be thinking " would I do this in the pub when face to face with the person " if the answer is no, dont do it, but its easy to run with it due to the safety of being behind a screen

A wind up? All you have to do is look at the posters that piss over almost every thread on this board to see that there are people here that are not really here for community of any sort, to talk about Cardiff City or even have a discussion without inserting an aggressive and extreme agenda.

Made the same comment many times and your dead right , easy to be a tough or rude via a keyboard ,face to face would be different ..

All the best pubs I /I've frequented are the edgy ones.. no poshness ,crappie seats , ,loads f character, where folk generally behave ,okay to have a laugh any unwarranted rudeness is usually dealt with....

I’ve not seen anyone challenged to a fight up in Beddau for years to be fair.

This thread seems to have drifted off topic slightly……

Yeah and then he thinks everyone is arguing when someone disagrees with it :hehe:

The right wingers again using and falling for the old trick that everyone that disagrees with them is as snowflake and a bully all at once.

When people have “opinions” that aren’t based in fact they should expect them to be questioned not cry about “arguing”.

If all he wants to do is talk about Cardiff city why not just stick to football threads?

Posting nonsense like this then crying about people arguing is about as ironic as you can get.

The hole in the ozone layer stabilised after CFCs were deemed to be causing it and there was a massive global effort to ban them.
