Scientists have detected a major change to the Earth’s oceans
For all the climate change deniers and skeptics that point out WaPo is a &quot;liberal&quot; outlet as a way to skip even reading the data: How about the scientific journal Nature ?<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nature.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;doi:10.1038&#x2F;nature21399" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nature.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;doi:10.1038&#x2F;nature21399</a><p>While I&#x27;m at it, please explain why science has become so politicized by the political right.<p>I have <i>literally</i> heard my conservative friends say they think &quot;science is leftist&quot; and Obama paid off scientists around the world to blow up a global warming hoax.<p>Tell me, why would an American political party engage in an elaborate hoax with scientists around the world, and somehow &quot;pay them all off&quot;, just so they would... what, raise your gas prices? Subsidize clean energy?<p>For that matter why would scientists around the world spend years studying complicated subjects, and then decades doing research, and <i>NEARLY ALL</i> accept a bribe from the leftists of <i>YOUR</i> country to sabotage their own sensors and models and data?<p>Finally - and here is the kicker - what are you afraid of if we transition away from fossi fuels? Electric cars open up electricity to be generated in a variety of ways. Wind farms have just powered <i>OVER HALF</i> of the central USA. Investment in solar has just overtaken fossil fuels. There are plenty of jobs to be made.<p>Why are the &quot;conservatives&quot; so keen on subsidizing the fossil fuel industry so the government can pick winners and losers? If fossil fuels become too expensive, that means more innovation and investment in clean energy generation!<p>Where is the economic loss from this? I am always amazed just how much &quot;Stockholm Syndrome&quot; the conservatives have when it comes to big corporations. Whatever they do - big bonuses to CEOs, pollution, etc. it is always rabidly defended by a mob angry that any criticism of their destructive activities, whether by scientists or by people who lost their jobs, is &quot;socialism&quot; and &quot;libtards&quot;.<p>Do you really think preventing the rise of sea levels, deforestation and loss of millions of species through overfishing, factory farms, colony collapse disorder etc. is going to tank your economy? Isn&#x27;t this the height of idiocy?
