    Scientists predict eclipses accurately, therefore they can predict future weather accurately. Q.E.D.

    What object could eclipse Caulfield and his speech balloon?

    A big black playground ball?

    And I remember first hearing about the Eclipse about 3 years ago, date, time, and path!

    Because scientists are humans.

    Even Mallett employs a straw man. Cheap.

    Frazz’s comment suggests Caulfield’s rant lasted the exact length of time that the eclipse would take in any given location. And, he had to use science/math to calculate it.

    One thing I’ll be doing today is checking Google Maps and seeing where all the traffic jams (red lines) are.

    I am jealous. We won’t get anything in Europe and I missed the last one (clouds all the way to the horizon!!!)

    Because there is no financial or political stake in denying the science this time.

    The denial of global climate change comes from the fact that some companies make a lot of money by pouring toxins into the air. And they have deep pockets to spread propaganda.

    They used to deny the science that said smoking was bad for your health, too. Same reason.

    Because none of the “global warming” predictions have been accurate – that’s why the groups changed the term to “climate change” instead, so they can blame all kinds of weather on bad, bad, humanity. And, let’s not forget, that science says there are 2 sexes, known by their chromosomal patterns of XX or XY, but look how many people disregard that piece of science…

    Nothing wrong with science…scientism is the problem. Why would anyone always trust scientists’ predictions? That in and of itself is not scientific. I hope no one is shocked by this, but…scientists, even the best and brightest, can be wrong from time to time.
