“Its a natural solar cycle” is literal fossil fuels climate denial circa 2003 when An Inconvenient Truth came out.
Also doesn’t make any goddamn sense for multiple reasons, the primary being that it only changes the temp by 0.1°C maximum, and as were currently working our way through the ‘grand solar minimum’ of the cycle from 2020 to 2053, and so far - line still goes up.
At least one of the conservatives I know believes the dinosaurs died in a great biblical flood. This is powerful “you can’t reason somebody out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into” energy.
We need to do a better job teaching kids physics. Imo since trump laid off so many scientists my thought would be to send them all to schools and churches as guest speakers for science.
What we actually need is classes on critical thinking - basic formal and informal logic as a mandatory part of school cirriculums at whatever age it is appropriate.
We also need to move away from the hierarchical top-down mode of education we use today.
I agree and Science is inherently a subject that teaches critical thinking because of the scientific method.
I do feel like our society also suffers from most our society being run by business majors and lawyers who build careers on ratfucking and storytelling.
