"'We believed that the consensus was phony,' Ebell told PBS in an interview explaining why he and others went to work to try and dismantle it. 'We believed that the so-called global warming consensus was not based on science, but was a political consensus, which included a number of scientists.'"

Exploring status quo bias in the human brain
"The more difficult the decision we face, the more likely we are not to act, according to new research by scientists that examines the neural pathways involved in "status quo bias" in the human brain."

Scientific consensus: Earth's climate is warming
"Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals show that 97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities. In addition, most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position."

I hate that people say they don't "believe" in science. You can't "believe" in science. Science and the scientific method is quite factual, reasonable and logical.

You don't "believe" in science. You either understand it.... or you don't.

My former English teacher thinks that you can hear in space because you can hear on the top of Mount Everest. She later goes to say she doesn't see the point of learning science. Crazy!

[heymrhimr]

the cool thing about science is that it doesn't care if you don't believe in it, because believing doesn't determine the existence or validity of something.

You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

People who say stuff like the earth is flat or that climate change is a hoax make me sick

[cormacnimo]

Only in America where climate change is a political issue....

Well, if you don't believe in science, then publish a paper with references to counter it. If you can't, it is not believe or not, it is you don't understand it and also won't bother to learn.

Let me talk shit about "Science" while sitting on chair, using computer connected to internet, which sits on Desk!

"Believe in science"? Why does science need believing? Science *is*. Science is the literal expression of reality and facts in life. Does 2+2=4 need believing in? Does any part of H2O being 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atoms need _believing_ in? Who says it's "science versus religion" anyway?

[dumpeeplarfunny]

One does not "believe" in science. Stop treating the scientific method like a religion. Religion requires belief. Science requires doubt. Yeah. Think about it. It requires doubt.

Ironically most people who don't believe in science wouldn't even watch the video or know about this channel.

People needs more Jesse pinkman to yell Science Bitch

[Zohirul-Jewel]

This reminds me of a meme I saw that read "Religion....Because Thinking Is Hard".

[LitcheTheArsm]

my faith in humanity has hit an all time low reading some of these comments

[TylerDurdentyler]

Such people should not go to a hospital when ill or take any medicine. Then they may have the word.
Hypocrites.

[frozeneternity]
