Political science is largely about polling.

Has global client science also become the same way?

Say no more about the article writer..She looks like she’s 15 years old, brainwashed by the People’s Republic of Kalifornia.

re> University of California

California wildfires are single handedly heating and polluting the whole west coast. Funny no one talks of the huge amount of pollution these fire are producing.

[manc]

what is she 24 and sent her short working life in academia????

[HiTech RedNeck]

DUH. Global CLIMATE science. (I wish FR had a typo-fix feature.)

[Jim Robinson]

Yup. Political science as taught by Dr. Joseph Goebbels.

We all know that old saying about “opinions”.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Here’s a hypothesis: these wildfires, rich in particulate air pollutants, will cause swings in ground temperatures to moderate as the particles in the air filter the sunlight.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

"Political science is largely about polling." From reading some of this, it sounds like she missed out. 😎

[Zathras]

When I want to know about physics and chemistry, I always talk first with leftist political hacks.
Oh and she needs to get her story correct...
“Women and minorities hardest hit”

[FlingWingFlyer]

What would an “ASSISTANT professor of political science” know about the climate? Does she do brain surgery too?

[jospehm20]

Idiot.

Opinion: Anyone claiming global warming is happening isn’t a scientist.

There was a study sometime in the last twenty years that showed that CAFE standards so not reduce the use of gasoline but that, instead, people drive more because it's cheaper to drive. The cost in human lives and material damage is also higher with he cafe standards.People are also more apt to be driving two cars because the super fuel miser cars don't have enough room. As usual you have to look for the real reason for this sort of rule making. In part it is to push people out of cars altogether and into public transportation so that their movements can be more controlled and monitored. If fuel efficiency and pollution were the real reasons then we would be encouraging diesel which produces less "pollution" per mile than gasoline because it gets more miles per gallon even while producing slightly more "pollution" per gallon.

Carbonophobia is a lethal form of retardation. All life is carbon based.

Total volume of CO2 in the atmosphere is only .03%.

Man made contributions to that are 3.225% of that .03%.

We need more carbon!

That's the plan, sweetheart. You see, the rising seas will wipe out all you liberals on the coastline, and then ... well, that's it. Get ready for THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW!!

REEEEEEEEE!!! RED WAVE!!!
