Sure, only that gravity is a theory, the earth isn't round and evolution doesn't exist since there's only one human race

>>10729722
Based. Pretty sure I just saw this on reddit though

They knew the earth was round since ancient Greek times. The guy who made this is a brainlet.

>>10729761
no anon, during the dark ages a lot of classical knowledge was lost, and it is true that in the 1400s the widely held belief was flatearth. only during the renaissance was there a revival of the ancient greek and latin texts

>hurr durr people believed in a flat earth

Read the Almagest and stop being illiterate

>if nuclear power is safe, then explain this!

>>10729764
Ah, hence the term "dark ages" - cheers Anon.

>>10729769
>no educated person believed in a flat earth
Which is why the picture is making fun of uneducated retards in all four panels.

/sci/ stuck in 15th century

>>10729953
uneducated retards don't make arguments

>>10729980
Except they do, hence your post.

>>10729722
Wow! First time visiting this board, never again! Good bye retards, go drink some Jewish piss and sperm, it's good for you.

Sad!

Hmmm... Let's see how the person who made this comic responds when asked about the differences in IQ between racial groups, and the predictability of success based off of purely genetic factors

can't wait for global warming to fry all the niggers tbhtbh

They'll just come here. It will be like a zombie apocalypse, if you thought the migrant crisis was bad.

The comic belies the ignorance of its author moreso than the general population, the vast majority of every political persuasion, which believes climate change is real. Many reputable surveys have shown it's a small number of people that outright deny it, a smaller number of people than that which believes the sun goes round the Earth!
What people differ on is what, if anything, to do about it. But that's a more nuanced discussion, not the kind you'll find in a pithy reductio ad absurdum cartoon designed to stroke the fragial egos of tribalist assholes..
Oh, and keep them buying your newspaper.

>>10729722
It’s pretty spot-on, honestly.

>>10729980
Yeah they do. Check out this website called “YouTube”.

What were you guys doing on reddit?

>>10729722
Climate change is real, but this is a shitty argument.

>>10729953
Except the first three panels are obviously rich (and by extension educated) people.

>>10730807
Where does the comic say anything about the number of people believing anything?

>>10730943
The time frames given for the other beliefs are consistent for the periods we believe those beliefs were held by the majority thus it is implied outright denial of climate change is a widely held view now. It is not.

>>10729792
nuclear power isnt safe

>>10730509
Good, at the very least they'll suffer too. There'll be no paradise to escape to.

>>10729722
No one believed the Earth was flat in the 15th century, retard.

>>10729722

None of those things have anything to do with each other. Nor are the individual arguments even made regarding their respective ideas. For example, no one argues against "gravity" as the mere attraction of things, least of all by invoking birds, but for or against this or that causal agent of the attraction. Utter cretinism.

>>10730950
>The time frames given for the other beliefs are consistent for the periods we believe those beliefs were held by the majority
That's clearly false since climate change deniers have never been in the majority in the 21st century. Try again, and this time don't make blatantly false straw men.

>>10731648
That's literally his point.

>>10730445
How is a climate science physicist supposed to know fuck all about biology and genetics?
What I would do if I truly wanted to find out the facts, I would try to dig up the most relevant review papers on the topic and try to gauge consensus. Then I would just trust them to be more right than everyone else.

>>10731652
His point makes no sense since he assumes the connection between them is that they are believed to be majority views when a) nothing implies that and b) that wouldn't connect them since the last is clearly not a majority view. He then takes b) as a flaw in the comic when really it's just a flaw in his misinterpretation of the comic. The only relevant connection between the examples is that they are contrarian.

>>10730933
Exactly - whether or not climate change is real has nothing to do with now widely accepted theorys having naysayers in the past.

History is littered with scientific theories, some heavy political support, that turned out to be wrong, and the people going "explain this" were correct. Lysenkoism would be a good example, and I am sure /sci could come up with a dozen others.

This is a meme.
We know a few literate, patricians had the hypothesis the world was round.
This says nothing about the average dungshit slave.

>it is true that in the 1400s the widely held belief was flatearth.

Imma want a sauce on that.

>>10729769
This is a ridiculous argument. Anti-religious historical nonsense being promoted in American schools does not make creationism any more credible. In fact it should make it less credible, as these beliefs are held mostly by products of the American education system.

>>10729792
That the way it was implemented during the cold war is not safe as it could be, isn't an argument that pertains to climatology. You may now log off, clock out, go home, and back to your board.

>>10729725
>denialtard posts this in every climate change thread without fail

>>10729722
Everyone knew the Earth was round in the 15th century, and no one fucking thought gravity didn’t exist in the 17th century lmao. Aristotle described his theory of gravity two and a half millennia ago. Also, the objections to evolution weren’t inherently religious in the 19th century—not to mention it was a freaking Roman Catholic who came up with the theory in the first place.

Makes me smile every day knowing boomers are dying out.
