You're Not going to believe what I tell you

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.

Of course I believe it, I read it on the Internet.

They quoted the entity that calls itself the 'History Channel'. Worse than Trump's 'Fake News.' 'Nuff said! (This post is a shining example of confirmation bias! But it is the (imaginary alien) History Channel.)

Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old. While the military are doing their part, it simply isn't enough to make the amount of nukes needed to save those poor stars. - TWI2T3D (Reddit)

Now that's funny. :laugh:

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

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

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.

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.

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.

There is also and article why they changed the data. Monitoring Global and U.S. Temperatures at NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information | Monitoring References | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)[^]
