== Characterizing Rubio's words in the language of his opponents, without quoting him ==

{{BLP noticeboard|date=January 2016}}

This [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marco_Rubio&diff=700145877&oldid=700139307] is inappropriate. It is not fair to characterize Rubio's words in the way his opponents would talk about them, then go on to say that Politifact says he is wrong, without even quoting what he said. Additionally, it's a violation of [[WP:Synth]].[[User:CometEncke|CometEncke]] ([[User talk:CometEncke|talk]]) 22:56, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

::Thank you for responding. However, the current version, by saying that "Rubio disputes the scientific understanding of climate change, arguing that human activity does not play a major role in global warming and that proposals to address climate change would be ineffective and economically harmful.", gives a misleading impression of what Rubio actually said. Specifically, the phrase "Rubio disputes the scientific understanding of climate change", does not accurately reflect what he told the National Press Club, which is the quote that the article is based on. I encourage you to go to the ABC source, and look at the quote. What he is saying is that he believes that the notion that climate change is "directly and almost solely attributable to human activity" is unproven. But if you look at the linked article on the scientific understanding of climate change, even the lead portion of that article does not make such an assertion. Therefore, in addition to being unfair, the current version is simply wrong. For this reason, although I don't like revert wars, I am going to go ahead and re-revert. I will, however, do so without block quotes, which I am told are an NPOV concern.[[User:CometEncke|CometEncke]] ([[User talk:CometEncke|talk]]) 11:02, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

:::According to the source: "Rubio says he thinks the laws won’t work — but will hurt the economy in a “devastating” way." and "Rubio said. “The question is: Is man-made activity causing the changes in the climate?”.

== RFC: Does the sourcing given support the statement "Rubio disputes the [[Scientific opinion on climate change|scientific understanding of climate change]]"? ==

{{rfc|sci|pol|rfcid=69F26CA}}

The article contains the following passage: <b>Rubio disputes the [[Scientific opinion on climate change|scientific understanding of climate change]], arguing that human activity does not play a major role in global warming . . . </b> The article points two two sources [http://miamiherald.typepad.com/nakedpolitics/2014/05/marco-rubio-explains-his-climate-change-skepticism.html][http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/politicsnow/la-pn-rubio-denies-climate-change-20140511-story.html]. A third source, not currently linked in the article, also discusses Rubio's remarks: [http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2014/05/sen-marco-rubio-believes-in-climate-change-but/]. Are the sources sufficient to support the statement in the article? [[User:CometEncke|CometEncke]] ([[User talk:CometEncke|talk]]) 16:57, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

*'''No''', Rubio agrees with portions of the scientific consensus (the earth is warming), has taken no position that I can find on other portions (sea level is rising), and, as the sources show, says be believes another portion (humans are the primary cause) is either unproven or false (not entirely clear which he believes). That's a far cry from disputing the entire scientific understanding, as the article states. EDIT: I find it rather disheartening that none of the "yes" voters has even addressed my actual concern.[User:CometEncke|CometEncke]] ([[User talk:CometEncke|talk]]) 17:02, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

* The scientific understanding of climate change is that it is occurring primarily as a result of human activity. Rubio disputes this. There are innumerable independent, reliable sources attesting to Rubio's position (a subset of which I've provided [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AMarco_Rubio&type=revision&diff=700653801&oldid=700624404 here]).

'''[[User:MastCell|MastCell]]'''&nbsp;^{[[User Talk:MastCell|Talk]]} 20:42, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

* '''Seek consensus and ye shall find it'''. I won't wade into this, except to say that there are plenty of reputable scientists who do not subscribe to every facet of the scientific consensus about climate change, even though they do not dispute that overall consensus. If you stick closely to what the sources say, I think the editors in dispute can reach agreement.[[User:Anythingyouwant|Anythingyouwant]] ([[User talk:Anythingyouwant|talk]]) 21:01, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

* '''Yes''', of course. The two sources cited are more than sufficient, and corroborated by numerous other sources as pointed out by MastCell. Even the ABC News article linked by the OP supports the content in question when Rubio says: "The fundamental question is whether man-made activity is what's contributing to it. I understand that people say there's a significant scientific consensus on that issue, but '''I've actually seen reasonable debate on that principle.'''" Rubio considers the debate about anthropogenic climate change to be ongoing and reasonable, while the overwhelming majority of ''scientists'' consider it settled. That's the dispute. - [[user: MrX|Mr]][[user talk:MrX|X]] 23:43, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

*'''Neutral''', From my understanding, Rubio (from this article) believes in non-anthropogenic climate change, but not anthropogenic climate change. So he believes in natural occurring changes in climate. Personally I do not like the term "Climate Change" as it is extremely vague because it could also refer to the natural change in climate e.g. The Earth plunging into an ice age due to natural changes in its orbit can also be "Climate change". If termed properly Rubio should've said that he rejects anthropogenic climate change, (to be even clearer "anthropogenic global warming") and believes in non-anthropogenic climate change. <span style="border:2px solid #090E0E;padding:0px;"><font style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#000000;">[[User:Davidbuddy9|Davidbuddy9]]</font>[[User talk:Davidbuddy9|<font style="color:#000000;background:#FFFFFF;">&nbsp;Talk&nbsp;</font>]] </span> 21:43, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

*'''Comment''' Why does the text say scientific ''understanding'' as opposed to the article who says scientific ''opinion''?

*'''No''' - on the contrary, the cites show him in loose acceptance of the existence of climate change and that human factors play in. They seem mosly a couple liberal-lean papers poking at him (no surprise) for opposing the White House proposals (since he's Republican, also no surprise). It did not cover each of the bullets at [[Scientific opinion on climate change]], but I think what's there accepts major items. I also think the wording 'dispute' and 'arguing' are factually incorrect as he is not literally arguing or disputing with a scientific group. I wouldn't say 'oppose' or 'support' either without an act to do so -- funding, voting, proposing a bill, even just marching or signing a petition but some definite action. Just answering questions from journalist with no action to them ... not so much. [[User:Markbassett|Markbassett]] ([[User talk:Markbassett|talk]]) 00:44, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

** If you're capable of dismissing the wealth of reliable sources (including the ''Wall Street Journal'', ''Scientific American'', the ''Christian Science Monitor'', PolitiFact, etc) as "a couple liberal-lean papers" {{sic}}, then I think our understandings of site policy are extremely divergent. You also contend that Rubio exhibits a "loose acceptance" of the role that human activity plays in climate change. Please elaborate on the sources underlying your belief; as I've documented above, reliable sources seem essentially unanimous in noting that Rubio either ignores or denies a human role in climate change. One of us is clearly misinterpreting available sources; if it's me, I'd be happy to be enlightened. '''[[User:MastCell|MastCell]]'''&nbsp;^{[[User Talk:MastCell|Talk]]} 01:21, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

:*** [[User:MastCell|MastCell]] - Yes, I and also you '''must dismiss other sources, since that is what the RfC asks about'''. The question is if just the Miami Herald and the LATimes articles are sufficient for the wording of the wiki line. Instead I see (a) Miami factually shows the contrary and (b) These particular papers open it to seeming a 'just a couple liberal-lean papers poke at him' versus a neutral presentation. The Miami article to the contrary includes Rubio quoted as actually conveying the scientific consensus and loosely agreeing with it. “I’ve never denied that there is a climate change,” and “Scientists have concluded, in their opinion, that because we have produced more carbon into the atmosphere in the last 150 years, that’s the reason why, in their opinion, the earth’s trendlines are warming,”. The article wording which is not supported has "Rubio disputes the scientific understanding of climate change", and that wording being unlimited and active is obviously wrong. There would need to be demonstration of him actively putting forward contrary proposals to be 'Rubio disputes' and it would have to be on all or at least the fundamental points. Otherwise it exaggerates what should say 'some of the scientific understanding'. Bottom line -- the two cites would be more appropriately characterized as weak or partial acceptance.

::::It doesn't matter if the sources were included in the RfC question or not. This thread is about whether sources support the inclusion of a statement. We're not going to start a new RfC for each specific set of sources, asking over and over "what about these specific sources?" to which people are only allowed to say yes or no without presenting any others. Wikipedia requires that potentially contentious statements are supported by reliable sources. All that matters if whether available sourcing supports inclusion of the statement. Even if no sources were cited at all at the outset of the RfC it would ''still'' make sense to consider the question in the context of sources people bring up over the course of the RfC. Finding additional sources only renders moot any assumptions built into the premise that there are only 2 or 3 sources. &mdash; <tt>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></tt> \\ 04:19, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
