You're just a flat earther when it comes to climate change. Scientists are not engaged in some global cabal- they are all noticing climate change, and the smart countries are doing something about it. Even the military wants to do something about it- not because they are in on a giant conspiracy, but because it's a threat. Climate change denial really isn't your best argument against science. It's your best argument that you are an idiot when it comes to science. I feel for you. Lumping that in with vaccines- which science has clearly shown now are mostly safe - though there will always be allergic reactions- is more of you being stupid. Science comes down on the side of vaccinations. Especially since they got mercury preservatives out of the vaccines quite some time ago. GMO seeds- that's a host of problems- not just one, so you'd have to split the various issues up. I've no idea what fucking liberals do- because I'm just me. I often don't agree with Koan, and sometimes I don't agree with Wharf Rat- but I do know that I will follow the majority of scientists when they seem to be on to something- whether that's in the medical arena, or in the area of climatology. ucsusa.org It's weird you think you know more than the majority of climatologists. I bet you don't follow this in other areas of your life. Do you frequently seek out small bands of zealots funded by corporations with an interest in an area of science and pay attention to potentially biased research when you could follow the majority, who aren't funded by corporations? You are the 3 % when it comes to climate change. That ought to make you worry. Apparently hubris runs strong in you.

"Although all people in all societies with rare exceptions are socialized to be heterosexual, the predictable, universal appearance of homosexual persons, despite socialization into heterosexual patterns of behavior suggest not only that homosexual orientation is biologically based but that sexual orientation itself is also biologically derived."

When I see it I do tend to point it out because scientific integrity is very important to me. How do you recognize it?
