Take a look at these quotes from articles from the past 120 years. What can we make from them? Is climate change actually a big of a deal as it’s claimed? The fact that “climate change” is such political issue gives me doubt. Any political talking point should always be scrutinized and criticized. Politicians have an agenda and will use anything they can to push that agenda.

I’m not here to argue about climate change being real or not. Rather, I would like opinions about the website I shared

    Ok. Let me try again. In practice, as a data analyst would know, interpreting data is a messy, subjective business. If you asked two data scientists to look into the same question, you’re liable to get two completely different answers, even if they’re both working with the same dataset. That’s to say, one dataset can produce multiple “facts.” Both conclusions can be “facts,” but it is subjective.

    Things aren’t as black and white as you imagine. So many things involving sciences were facts, until they werent. Consider the big role biases play when coming to different conclusions. Consider that MANY conclusions are based on a limited data set.

      Yes, and when all the data sets point towards human made climate change, then you have a fact. When it’s peer reviewed and studied, and when, it’s challenged, and the data all still points to the same story, there is your fact. If two analysts come up with different data, then they cannot by definition be a “fact”. Having one or two people go against the consensus, is fine, however when they make a challenge and their findings are proven incorrect, and they are still incapable of proving otherwise, then they need to review their biases. If they don’t, well then, they aren’t looking at things scientifically.
