Steven Goddard, the Sad, Sad, Little Troll, Part 1

Steven Goddard would like to remind you once again that his "grasp" of science is so infantile he does not know the difference between one scientist and a consensus, and foundational and frontier research.

"In 1950, the scientific consensus was that continents don’t move, and that there was life on Mars"

His "understanding" is so abysmal that one MIT researcher's analysis amounts to a consensus in geology for Goddard, and decades before we reached the Moon or had a meaningful human presence in space, let alone telescopes in orbit around the Earth, Sun, and Mars and rovers on the surface of Mars, which make robust observations that negate our uninformed best-guesses about the possibility of life there, or years before we even conceived of the field of astrobiology, to him, this nascent level of astronomical study in the 50's somehow equates to what we know about the interaction between climate and our emissions today thanks to well over a century of climatological research.

Goddard displays the same pathetic inability to distinguish between established scientific fact and groundbreaking research here as Rush Limbaugh often does in his absolutely worthless misinformation-fest of a radio show. In fact, wallowing in this brand of blockheaded, willful ignorance seems to be the preferred behavior of most if not all science deniers.

I suppose I should be thankful, however, because as far as sources of unbelievable, head-slapping denier stupidity are concerned, he's the gift that keeps on giving.
