ffs, what have we come to?

This is HN, where smart, educated, science-literate people congregate.

Reading the comments, I'm ashamed of us. We're better than this.

Read the actual f*cking papers people. Not the YouTube videos, not the weird-ass political shit on FB. Not the New York Times, or even Reuters. The actual papers. We've all got SciHub (thankfully!), there's no excuse.

If you don't think you're educated enough to grok the actual studies then you're probably not educated enough to understand the issues, and you probably shouldn't be contradicting the experts.

Unless, of course, you think this is all a conspiracy, in which case I have a bridge to sell you...



Keep cool friend. It gives me headaches as well but... Everybody is entitled to their stupid opinion. So are we :) But I have to react to :

> and you probably shouldn't be contradicting the experts.

As you know, expert themselves can disagree, and have strong evidence to defend their sides.

For example, Niels Bohr and Einstein had massive disagreements, both of them are references, and had convincing arguments.

In the end you got to choose what you want to believe in with your intellect and your guts. And if you have neither, the New York Times it is haha
