Holy cow! They have a journal on dairy science. That is utterly unbelievable. It doesn't get much butter than that. I know these jokes are cheesy and not the cream of the crop, especially for MosCOW, but I just couldn't help myself to milk that for all it was worth. : P
 
Speaking of animals and science; did you know that farm animals discuss Einstein's Theory of Relativity when people are not looking? It is true, a guy named Gary Larson, a graduate of WSU, discovered it, look it up.
 
But there is no chance that they talk about social sciences like Logic and Critical Thinking; especially that damn goat off Highway 8 that keeps getting his head stuck between the fence posts.

Joe
It is you that do not understand how hard science works. You should stick to philosophy.  You are wrong about me not reading science. For most of my adult life, I subscribed to
 The Journal of Dairy Science, The Journal of Animal Science, The Journal of Nutrition  and the Scientist. I currently take about 6 health and nutrition publication. I only take those that are put out by universities. I do not take private health and wellness publications as they as a rule promote some vitamin or herb, which a good share of the time is not grounded in good science, but rely on testimonials. I did not say that I did not believe Climate Scientists in general. I am by nature  a skeptic and think that all research needs to be independently verified. I also subscribe to The Skeptical Inquirer, which by the way supports most climate science. I have never said that you should not criticize people, please allow me to do the same. I have not taken a course in Logic but have read many philosoph!
ers. My
favorite is Eric Hoffer.  He was a  Longshoreman by  trade but was well grounded in philosophy. Your logic seems to
 be to obtuse and convoluted.
I am way behind  on keeping up with vision 2020 posts as I have been hauling hay in this heat. You are more than welcome to help. I will try and review more post when I get the time, which may not be until next week.

 I had on the 1980 heat wave was on the local radio station. It was only a degree or two from this one. That is very little difference. Global Warming runs in cycles. Man undoubtedly has some effect. The debate is in how much. It only makes sense to curtail air pollution to the extent that is economically feasible. In the 60's you could routinely smell the Pulp Mill at Lewiston Moscow. That has been cleaned up a lot. Do what is feasible with out putting us back in the Stone Age. Also take a reasonable approach, Critique the doom sayers, with the The Sky is Falling" scenario. Work on the problem is a calm reasonable manner. Science in general have lots of view points. The teutonic Plate theory was originally ridiculed as was the the effect of glaciers on land formation. There has been lots of conflicting reports on Vitamins and Herbs. The research by Wakefield on the effect of vaccinations on Autism was bogus and caused considerable harm. There is a
 problem!
