…. Exhibit Delivers on Science But Avoids Solutions

"A new interactive climate change exhibit will open at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) this week, becoming the museum's first permanent installation dedicated to our changing climate. It's replacing a climate-centric portion of the museum's Hall of Planet Earth, which features a ton of good rocks and a pretty awesome piece of petrified wood, but is 20 years out of date.

Museums are an essential arm of science communication, especially considering their reach (over five million people visited AMNH in 2017). This role comes with the huge responsibility of educating the public on the most important science news, and helping people suss through what's fact versus BS peddled by special interests. While AMNH has included bits and pieces about climate change in its other exhibits (and had a temporary exhibition on the topic from 2008-2009), it's playing catch-up with institutions like San Francisco's California Academy of Sciences—particularly on the climate action front…."

So the exhibit includes the propaganda on 'Climate Change,' but doesn't enter the political realm of solutions and the reviewer is disappointed.

Looks like they are already politicized.

Oh, have the mighty hath fallen.

sad.

Fake science using fake fabricated data to support a political agenda. Very sad and very predictable.

Lol. You forgot world wide conspiracy. Let's get the unsubstantiated and uninformed proclamations at least complete.

Very sad and very predictable

Yes you are.

Oh, have the mighty hath fallen.

If you are going to quote scripture to sound more authoritative, at least get it right. It's actually, "How are the mighty fallen…." KJV

Unfortumately for Deleted by Moderator the fact remains that man-made global warming is all a bogus scam. So they resort to the usual ad hominem attacks. So predictable and so laughable.

Just waiting for Deleted by Moderator to show up.

We all know the final solution to AGW – get rid of the humans. If you're a true believer you will know what to do.

Glup!….

Don't let it get you down Tango01.

There are several of us here who are not great believers in the Global Warming/Climate Change hoax that certain individuals/groups are trying to sell.

You seem to be irony impaired also. Do you know what ad hominem means? Deleted by Moderator are ad hominem attacks. You attack the man not the argument. Not that you have ever attacked the argument.

As for predictable, constantly bleating out the same unsupported fallacious claims, even when evidence has been presented to the contrary, makes you the predictable one here. Where is any evidence that climate scientists using computer modelling is designed to produce a predetermined outcome? Tin foil hat time.

On another thread you were challenged to deal with the concept of consilience with global warming research. You did a "but what about….." dodge and didn't answer the question. All we get is unsubstantiated proclamations like, "fact remains that man-made global warming is all a bogus scam", but no actual "facts" at all.

Predictable and laughable is right.

And here is the crux of the problem with deniers.

I get into a jet and it takes off, flies, and lands despite what I believe, or disbelieve regarding flight and aerodynamics. That is how science, engineering and the world works. Look into it.
