Unmuzzling government scientists is just the first step

big lentil: the 80 percentage of scientists that I refer to is the percentage of scientists who believe man is contributing at least 50% to climate change. CO2 is just only comment of man made activities.

So let me rephrase the question. Roughly the same percentage of scientists believe GMOs are safe as scientists who believe man is contributing to climate change. So why do so many farmers argue that GMOs are safe because of scientific consensus but deny the same consensus that says man is contributing to climate change?

oops should have read: CO2 is only one cause of climate change

Cotton, the Food Babe is hot, she must be correct, Im going organic.
It is settled.

Dml the answer to your query is very simple the same people pushing the radical global warming agenda reject the safety of GMO crops and want them outlawed.

Hamloc: That does not answer my question. All that you are pointing out is the mirror image of what farmers do. Climate change supporters claim that science supports their position yet at the same time rejects the science consensus that says GMOs are safe. Both farmers and climate change advocates are doing the same thing, picking and choosing when science consensus is right and wrong. What I want an answer to is how can anyone argue science consensus is right and everyone should pay attention to the science but on another subject scientists are wrong and should be ignored. I just want someone on this list to tell me on what basis they can say science consensus should be followed and when it should not count.

It bothers to hear consumers say that climate change is real because 88% scientists agree that man is contributing to climate change but at the same time are telling farmers that GMOs are not safe even though 88% of scientists say they are just as much as it bothers me many farmers are telling consumers that GMOs are safe because 88% of scientists say they are when in the next breath those same farmers are telling consumers that climate change is not real even though 88% of scientists says it is.

Do you want to know why I'm sceptical of the climate consensus? The manipulation of data to "hide the decline" in temperatures; the claim that a majority of climate scientists believe in catestrophic global warming, when that is simply an untrue statement extrapolated from a survey reporting that a majority of scientists believe human activity likely has some influence on climate.
If there was 1/100th of the deception used in GMO science, there wouldn't be a GMO legal anywhere.

In a word..... hypocrisy?

It isn't a profane word.

dml,

The science was settled that the earth was flat... yet that was disproved... just as:

The Universe is expanding... at a slowing rate...

Which is now changed...backed up by science and changed to: the universe is expanding... at an ever INCREASING rate.

The science argument is not science but politics. A theory is debated... and the information used.... determines the validity of the argument... Selected info... means political answer. Climate Change is Political... every one knows this... because that is clear as of course the climate is always changing! This is the nature of our planet and weather producing infrastructures!
