After Being Fed Up With ‘Experts’ Saying Climate Change Doesn’t Exist, This Popular Meteorologist Shuts Them Down By Saying “Put Up Or Shut Up”

Everyone who follows the scientific world at least a little bit knows that climate change is, in fact, very real. It has been proven countless times in numerous scientific studies performed by environmental scientists all over the world yet there are still people out there who actively deny it being a real thing. Fed up with climate change deniers, meteorologist Greg Fishel finally snapped and wrote a powerful Facebook post that shut them up for good.

In his post, the meteorologist offers the deniers a chance to prove they’re right. “[The climate change deniers] should submit their findings to one of the American Meteorological Society’s peer reviewed journals for publication,” writes Greg.

“If they are rejected, and the author feels unfairly, then make public each and every one of the reviewers’ comments for the entire world to see. If there is bias and corruption in the peer review process, everyone needs to know about it so this flawed process can be halted and corrected.”

“PUT UP OR SHUT UP
You know everybody reaches their breaking point and quite frankly I have reached mine with the folks who post all over the internet about the scientific fallacies of man induced climate change. All of them are guest bloggers or essayists. None of this stuff has ever been published
in a peer reviewed atmospheric science or climate journal. But we live in an age today where higher education and research are no longer respected. Heck, think of all the money my parents wasted on my education when I could have waited for the age of twitter and Facebook and declared myself as an expert in the field or my choice. That’s sarcasm to illustrate asininity. But wait! Let’s say one of these guest essayers is a modern day Galileo, and has that critical piece to the puzzle that no other scientist has. Then they should submit their findings to one of the American Meteorological Society’s peer reviewed journals for publication. If they are rejected, and the author feels unfairly, then make public each and every one of the reviewers’ comments for the entire world to see. If there is bias and corruption in the peer review process everyone needs to know about it so this flawed process can be halted and corrected. But ya know what? I doubt any of these folks has the guts to do this, and they’ll continue on with their pathetic excuse for science education. So prove me wrong bloggers and essayists. Submit your work the way real scientists do, and see where it takes you. Uncover that bias and corruption you’re so convinced is present. If you end up being correct, society will owe you a huge debt of gratitude. If you’re wrong, stop muddying the scientific waters with ideological trash.”

One day, this guy just kind of figured - "I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?" - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that's trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that's too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!

No matter how many scientists proof that the current Climate change has nothing to do with sun spots, cosmic rays, solar sctivitity or orbital change of neighbouring planets there will always be idiots looking for some reason other than humans polluting their environment. Sheeple will be sheeple.
