like the desire to stop climate change is based on research that shows climate change is problematic

2019-08-04 20:43:20 UTC  

Err...

2019-08-04 20:43:23 UTC  

You are making a slip there.

2019-08-04 20:43:27 UTC  

or that climate change is real

2019-08-04 20:43:29 UTC  

no im not

2019-08-04 20:43:38 UTC  

Climate change is real, yeah.

2019-08-04 20:43:45 UTC  

But it being problematic is a moral judgement.

2019-08-04 20:43:50 UTC  

And inherently human.

2019-08-04 20:44:06 UTC  

and its problematic to agriculture, energy production and so on

2019-08-04 20:44:08 UTC  

And really a judgment tying in with desire.

2019-08-04 20:44:40 UTC  

I understand hume's guillotine

2019-08-04 20:44:53 UTC  

It has a certain effect on the things you list which we humans consider problematic.

2019-08-04 20:44:59 UTC  

it simply states is do not justify oughts

2019-08-04 20:45:05 UTC  

not that it doesnt affect oughts

2019-08-04 20:45:09 UTC  

It being problematic is not in itself a scientific point.

2019-08-04 20:45:09 UTC  

because its does

2019-08-04 20:45:54 UTC  

scientist take for granted the sector theyre referring to dilapidating is problematic

2019-08-04 20:46:16 UTC  

anthropologist work with the axioms of what defines society or civilization

2019-08-04 20:46:46 UTC  

You do realize the idea of a problem existing is within the realm of human emotion, not within the realm of the natural world per se?

2019-08-04 20:46:51 UTC  

scientist most certainly use the term problematic in reference to normative standards that they make obvious

2019-08-04 20:47:04 UTC  

It is indeed normative.

2019-08-04 20:47:04 UTC  

i think youre not understanding

2019-08-04 20:47:07 UTC  

yes

2019-08-04 20:47:17 UTC  

Science is not normative though.

2019-08-04 20:47:20 UTC  

It is descriptive.

2019-08-04 20:47:29 UTC  

and scientist appeal to normative standard in how they define the research and its conclusions

2019-08-04 20:47:41 UTC  

Sure they do.

2019-08-04 20:47:53 UTC  

I am not contesting that.

2019-08-04 20:47:56 UTC  

like nearly every abstract does that

2019-08-04 20:48:04 UTC  

so youre not contesting anything i said

2019-08-04 20:48:30 UTC  

I do not precisely recall what I was contesting, but it had to do with the definition of 'policy'.

2019-08-04 20:48:43 UTC  

scientist conclude that climate change is problematic relative to the normative of having a productive, healthy or capable society

2019-08-04 20:48:53 UTC  

i dont think so

2019-08-04 20:49:08 UTC  

We were originally speaking about policy and consequence.

2019-08-04 20:49:19 UTC  

In relation to scientific fact.

2019-08-04 20:49:21 UTC  

and how its informed by science

2019-08-04 20:49:43 UTC  

Ah, that is what I sort of contested.

2019-08-04 20:50:07 UTC  

I made the claim that policy is based on desired outcome.

2019-08-04 20:50:24 UTC  

I would like to amend that however.

2019-08-04 20:50:27 UTC  

how policy is adopted in reference to perceived reality and how science informs perceived reality

2019-08-04 20:50:46 UTC  

That I do agree with.
