Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.

I already read the histories most people can't be bothered with. Nothing about Humans amazes me anymore... :(

They are all inline with the comic. Right bellow each claim is the sources with a bubbly circle and the text "Source"

An absolutely wonderful way of making a point. "Core beliefs are inflexible, rigid, and incredibly sensitive to being challenged". This is precisely why institutions (e.g. religion, holocaust, etc) in our society are particularly interested in, and make every effort to, indoctrinate children at a very young age with their dogma.
Let's not forget the 'public indoctrination school system'.

The way this thing was put together is incredible. Who would read it if it were just one big document of words. Very nice way to put together some abstract position :-)

Also, it uses the Hippocratic Method of ASKING a question, instead of stating a lot of facts. Would you believe that ... Do you believe that ... My example: Did you know that NOAA edited the temperature data? Do you realize they only ever increase/decrease the numbers according to the CO2 levels? Btw, there is an article about it: [100% Of US Warming Is Due To NOAA Data Tampering](https://realclimatescience.com/100-of-us-warming-is-due-to-noaa-data-tampering/) So I find the article interesting in that asking questions, and asking the least challenging question first might be more engaging... But even more important. It may also remind you how people try to manipulate you. By finding common ground first (like a sales person), building rapport, and then selling to your needs. Great article.

Don't forget the moon hoax! :rolleyes:

I learned a long time ago, that if a publication doesn't have some form of feedback, it's more than likely to be propaganda. Your link goes to what I would consider an opinion piece, no sources, no feedback. Probably the same could be said of NOAA's site, but at least the history of its published data can be researched and compared to the same data from years/decades(/a century?) before. Be discriminate when it comes to science denial, it's a thing these days with the right-wing.
