Anyone else noticing a higher volume of alt-right and Nazi posters in here lately?

The problem is that people treat scientific observations as fact, when that's not what science is about. It's a continuing process of observation and revision, and as understanding grows, the nature of those discoveries changes.

Right now it sure looks like the earth is warming, and it sure seems like humans are playing a role. It was fucking 71 degrees in Boston the other day on the middle of goddamn February. WTF. But, on further scientific observation, it could at some point be discovered that the warming is not human-caused, or that in 2 years it starts to cool, or something else is going on, or we could realize humans are making it way worse and it's even hotter than we thought. THAT'S science, not "What's happening now is FACT!" That's not science.

Whatever's going on, it's definitely a lot hotter in South Florida than it used to be. It never got above 92 or 3 here, and in the last 3 or 4 years, 95-96 every damn day in the summer. I would say that's warming!
