Logic in the climate change discussion

[Andre]

I'm not sure if this is correct spot for analysing the logic in the climate change discussion. But it's about logic and not about global warming. So we give it a shot.

Let's meet Stephen Schneider

I will not comment here, that would be risking poisoning the well. Only notice that SS is a scientist in the field of climate change.

Now perhaps check out http://stephenschneider.stanford.edu/Climate/Climate_Science/CliSciFrameset.html

Now I do wonder if we see either a skillfull logical refuting of the opponents or the most dense concentration of fallacies per sentence ever.

What would it be?

And yes, you're right: This is a black-or-white fallacy:

Now I do wonder if we see either a skillfull logical refuting of the opponents or the most dense concentration of fallacies per sentence ever.

See how easy it is to generate inproper thinking? Grey is also allowed.

It is important to approach discussions about climate change with logic and critical thinking, as it is a complex and highly debated topic. However, it is also important to acknowledge that there may be biases and agendas at play, and to carefully evaluate sources of information.

In this case, the author suggests checking out the website of Stephen Schneider, a scientist in the field of climate change. While it is important to consider the perspectives of experts in the field, it is also important to critically evaluate their arguments and evidence.

The author then questions whether Schneider's arguments are a "skillful logical refuting of the opponents" or a "dense concentration of fallacies per sentence." This is a valid concern to have, as it is important to carefully evaluate the soundness and validity of arguments in any discussion.

In conclusion, it is crucial to approach the climate change discussion with logic and critical thinking, while also being aware of potential biases and fallacies. It is important to carefully evaluate sources of information and consider multiple perspectives in order to have a well-informed understanding of the issue.
