If your frantic perception of reality has a lot of evil Replublican dēnīērś in it, then it is undeniably an artifact of belief in ‘Lewandowsky-ism’.
Even re-education is not an effective option for you. But you can at least hang out at Cook’s site where the consensus is that Lewandowsky is a demi-god. You will never feel alone there.

Ugly: MSNBC host wants ‘reducation’ for ‘climate deniers’
I have never denied the climate. I have never denied climate change. I insist on climate change as my default position. That’s why you see over 17 years of no global surface warming, increasing Antarctic sea ice extent, global sea ice on average, the Arctic death spiral on hold for now, snowfalls are not a thing of the past and so on. Climate change is real. Live with it.

Climate-denying Republicans should be forced to take a course…
What about reality-denying Democrats?
The latest (Thursday Aug 7) ratings for the 5:00 PM news networks timeslot are FNC (Fox); THEFIVE ==> 225
MSNBC; EDSHOW ==> 59
CNN; BLITZER ==> 104
HLN; FILES ==> 58
The full ratings at http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/category/ratings show Fox generally destroying the competition, with CNN a consistent 2nd.

I had to go show this to my wife who is both an earth science instructor at a large community college, and a global warming skeptic. She commented she would be happy to open her course up for politicians of either party.

The Bozos at MSNBC should be forced to take a basic science course. They clearly know NOTHING about real science.
A few years ago Ed Schultz said “people who oppose the affordabe care act should be shot”.
Those of us who are older that Ed have seen all kinds of weather events and nothing is ‘abnormal’ that we haven’t seen before..
The course he must want deniers of catastrophic global warming and climate model skill to take is “How to be hypnotized to ignore observations and empirical data in the real world”
Other than heavy rains events/flooding, there is no evidence at all that extreme weather has increased(in some realms, it clearly has decreased).
The overwhelming scientific evidence on our planet, shows that increasing CO2 from 280 ppm to 400 ppm has been beneficial.
Maybe another course to take would be “How to show that a proven law like photosynthesis is not as important as a speculative theory”
Or, “How to generate funding for a study on climate science”
Or, “How the government/media always tell us the truth”
Or, “How to allow cognitive bias’s to determine our views”
On the other hand, maybe classes with the completely opposite objective would have the most benefits in our world today.

” all these things are happening that are terribly abnormal and very severe.”
What is this buffoon waffling on about?
There was a text box about a wildfire in OR on his screen. Perhaps that was his launching pad.

He never used the word “reeducation” or “reducation”; it shouldn’t have been in quotes in the headline. He didn’t imply it either (forced conversion), only education. (But that would only bolster our side of the case, not his.)

I didn’t read all the comments, so I apologize if this has already been stated.
I diagree with the preamble to the question. “So we have seen all these weird things and all these records”. Um, no. No records. Dangerous climate is on the decrease according to all metrics I have seen.
It is the ever-increasing microscopic nature of humans (maybe only Americans) that buy into the “unprecedented” malarkey.
Hey Ed, I’ll take your “basic Earth Science” if you’ll take Calc I & II, DiffEQ, Stats and at least a 6 hr lab science course, because that’s the minimum to truely understand the “settled science” your reporting on.

Why just Republicans? I think Democrats should be “reducated” too. Of course, I and my fellow Libertarians could teach the course. We might not follow the script, though. 🙂
You would have to teach them to read first.
Earth Science 101 to Sgt. Schultz:
If you are right about CO2/anthropogenic global warming/etc./et al./ then the reason we are not already well into the next glacial is because of CO2/anthropogenic global warming/etc./ et al.:
“The possible explanation as to why we are still in an interglacial relates to the early anthropogenic hypothesis of Ruddiman (2003, 2005). According to that hypothesis, the anomalous increase of CO2 and CH4 concentrations in the atmosphere as observed in mid- to late Holocene ice-cores results from anthropogenic deforestation and rice irrigation, which started in the early Neolithic at 8000 and 5000 yr BP, respectively. Ruddiman proposes that these early human greenhouse gas emissions prevented the inception of an overdue glacial that otherwise would have already started.”

“I know nothing, I know nothing……”
Debbie Wasserman-Shultz is the titular head of the Democratic Committee and a Congress critter. Surely you have seen her on TV with her mouth open. Ed Shultz is married to Debbie. I did not realize this for a long time and, since it has not been mentioned I suspect many of the commenters don’t realize this fact. I am not going to say anything else because I don’t want to be banned from WUWT.

Sadly Eddie pontificates the Democratic Party, i.e. Obama, Line for fullest extent.

The Obama Party Way.
I think a “basic climate science” challenge is a great idea; a test given to warmist-alarmists as well as scientists. The big problem is that we know the warmers will cheat.
We have “reeducation camps” in the US, and probably in other countries, under Agenda 21.
