Paper that claimed the Sun caused global warming gets retracted:
A paper published last June was catnip for those who are desperate to explain climate change with anything but human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. It was also apparently wrong enough to be retracted this week by the journal that published it, even though its authors objected.
The paper's headline conclusion was that it described a newly discovered cycle in the motion of the Sun, one that put us 300 years into what would be a thousand-year warming period for the Earth. Nevermind that we've been directly measuring the incoming radiation from the Sun and there has been no increase to explain the observed global warming—or that there is no evidence of a 2,000 year temperature cycle in the paleoclimate record.
Those obvious issues didn't stop some people from taking this study as proof that past warming was natural, and only mild and unavoidable warming lies in our future.

>1) It's not a belief
>2) Science is not immutable
>3) The leaders are pointing out that science isn't subject to opinions, or politics, just facts.
Most religious SJWs utilize the postmodernist doctrine, where reality is subjective, and facts are perspective opinions. One of their core sacraments, climate change, is the belief that mans impact on earth is deleterious. The only way to solve climate change is to serve penance through taxation or reception of wokescold, efficacy of which is judged ex opere operantis. Anyone who takes exception shall be anathema. Polarbears going extinct and Gretta's childhood dying for our sins isn't pointing out any kind of scientific fact, just an emotional opinion. The leaders (Al Gore, Gretta Thumberger etc) preach similar gloom and doom for sinners that priest do, they only differ on what constitutes a sin. They both just want some authoritative position over how we live our lives.

Oh my god. There are so many holes in your thinking, they exceed your sentence count. Congrats on knowing a few words of Latin, and for thinking that polar bear populations are somehow independent from science, and on ... yeah I can't even. I'm sorry. Your thought is so poor that it's numbing.
You're calling other persons 'religious' as a derogatory term yet your own statements are feelsies statements. Good for you for feeling how you feel! Nobody cares about your feels though. Enjoy your pitiful meaningless life, as you mindlessly reject science in favour of appeals to emotion and name calling.

It is funny (in a sad way) how when people like him get a horrible disease or sickness, how quickly they become believers in science. Never mind that it is the same methodologies and chemistry that governs both. Very few have the conviction to not switch teams when their end is in sight. It's ok to screw over people several decades out, but when their ass is on the line it is "SAVE ME SCIENCE!!! [gocomics.com]"

That sounds like the wife of a good friend of mine who converted to Jehovah's Witness sometime after they got married.
When he had a serious motorbike accident she made sure he got the blood transfusions he needed though. Funny how that works.
