johnny, no one argues that there hasn't been "false certitude" in human history, or even that there have not been cases of "false certitude" involved in scientific history. As you know perfectly well, what is being argued is that the "false certitude" was never on the part of science.
The whole point of all your dishonest nonsense is to conflate the reliability of scientific knowledge being applied to climate change with the reliability of religious and superstitious beliefs of pre-scientific days. They are not equally reliable, and you know it, and you don't care. That makes you intellectually bankrupt.
In order to avoid taking prudent actions to stop the climatological freight train bearing down on the human race, you're trying to argue that the views of climate scientists should carry no more weight than the superstitious beliefs of past mystics and politicians. johnforbes is doing today what the Catholic Church did centuries ago. He doesn't like what science is telling him so he tries to discredit the messengers in an attempt to keep his gravy train running at least until he dies.
"Screw the rest of humanity." right, johnny?
johnforbes also attempts to make it appear that prudent steps taken by the world's governments look like mere foolishness because "climate change theory could be wrong."
What are the odds, johnny? Is there a 10% chance it's wrong? Is there a 25% chance it's wrong? Is there a 50% chance it's wrong? At what point does the likelihood warrant taking action, johnny? At what point does taking action stop being "foolish" and become "prudent"?
johnforbes tries to make it look as though climate scientists hold a "false certitude" that the planet is warming due in part to human behaviors when if fact the "false certitude" is on the other side of the issue. Look at RealTool's representative and wholey ignorant statement on the issue: "...to pretend man can has (sic) influence over nature is insane, we can't even make it rain in California to cure the draught (sic)." <---Now THAT'S what I call "false certitude".
Does johnforbes call RealTool on his unfounded false certitude because he has no degree in climate science? Of course not. johnforbes is the worst kind of hypocrite. His hypocrisy could actually harm people.
Though he claims, like every other windbag, that he isn't an expert in climate science, johnforbes scoffs at any attempts to slow an oncoming disaster because there might be some slim chance the experts are wrong or partly wrong.
johnforbes is stupid.
