1) Presenting contrarian scientists as "objective" experts while presenting mainstream scientists as self-interested or biased.
2) Denigrating scientific institutions and peer-reviewed journals.
3) Equating peer-reviewed research with a politically liberal opinion.
4) Accusing climate scientists of manipulating data to fund research projects.
5) Characterizing climate science as a religion.

(30,058 posts)Talking points during a debate"please proceed governor" moment. They are working hard to prove those like,Al Gore wrong, like climbing a tree to tell a lie when the truth sounds better on the ground.

I just thought it would be good if we could here one of these talking points we can then say "you are getting that lie from fox news, they are fooling with you". Might be a more effective way at confronting those Republicans who are being fooled.

(30,058 posts)Starts running off at the mouth I have already heard the crap, know where they got their information and the correct story to tell them. I can listen to Shame and Rushbo for about five minutes and get the whole story because they seem to go on and on with the same information for the entire show.
