While reasoning can help us understand the science behind climate change it in itself heavily relies on evidence based claims.

Consensus also helps us prove climate changein too relies on extensive research and evidence based analysis.

Intuition does not have much of an impact in justifying climate change as it is a complex scientific issue that requires a deep understanding of climate systems and data.

I agree to an extent, Ration Basis or Expert Opinion is an analysis of someone or somethings ability to perform at the certain point of time, it is not a prediction of the future. Therefore I believe that personal belief can create knowledge like shown in the example of Vincent Van Gogh. However in situations which involve bigger communities.For example: When doctors make decisions, it's important to have the issue analysed, backed up by evidence, and their professional knowledge, which is then communicated with the patient. This shared knowledge in this case relies on ration basis but personal belief/self improvement can change in the future. Every rational opinion here isnt applicable in the long run.

Leading scientific organizations and experts in the field of climate science, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), provide authoritative statements and reports that emphasize the human influence on climate change. Their credibility and expertise in the subject matter make their assessments highly convincing.

Claim: Climate change is caused by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and farming.

When we look at climate change and its causes, we know through decades of evidence and collected data that climate change is happening and human causes like burning of fossil fuels do have a major impact on it.This evidence includes temperature records, ice core data, satellite observations, and climate models, all pointing to rising global temperatures and related phenomena like melting ice caps and sea-level rise.

Dutch artist Vicent van Gogh's work wasn't particularly "preffered" by art schools. He was constantly informed that he wasn't a very competent artist since he lacked a solid basis and the ability to create lifelike paintings. This demonstrates how the rational basis (art schools) were mistaken about his knowledge about art. However as a result of his knowledge being an excellent impressionist artist, he migrated to another nation and was welcomed there. In this situation the knowledge Vincent Van Gogh had about art was different from the traditional way of learning arts here the ration basis was negative, making the experts believe he isnt good enough leading them to have a strong belief bias against him. However due to his knowledge and personal beliefs he was able to contribute to the society today.

Intuition, evidence, reasoning, consensus, and authority are different methods of justification, and their convincingness can vary depending on the context and the specific question or claim under consideration. They are not all equally convincing, and their reliability and effectiveness can differ in various situations.Though in my opinion, I believe that evidence and authority are  key factors for justifying a claim.If valid evidence is provided to someone who is on the fence, he/she can evaluate it for himself without having to rely on other's opinion.Also for the common masses its easier to have faith in a trusted authority when everyone does not have the time to evaluate every claim that's fabricated.

Racial profiling involves targeting individuals from specific racial or ethnic backgrounds as potential suspects (assumptions) based solely on their race. The assumption that an individual from a specific racial community has committed a crime leads to misinterpretation of other evidence and information about other potential subjects.

Implicit bias refers to the attitudes, beliefs and stereotypes that an individual holds unconsciously or unintentionally. These biases can be shaped by societal expectations and assumptions and can affect the way an individual interprets information and makes judgements.

When an individual holds a strong conservative political belief and scrolls through social media such as twitter, they will avoid to read posts with centrist or liberal viewpoints. When the person assumes that a conservative party is a more effective way of running a country, they will have a sceptical attitude when reading articles about the positives of liberal viewpoints and consider them as an outlier.

Synder and Swann (1978):
The experimenters provided participants with information about another person that strongly suggested if the person was either an extrovert or an introvert. Participants were instructed to select questions to ask the person to test the hypothesis that the person was either extroverted or introverted. Participants tended to seek information that supported the hypothesis.

The government's monopoly on historical perspective in North Korea has allowed it to manipulate and bias historical information to align with its interests and beliefs. In North Korean history textbooks, there is a deliberate distortion of facts and events to portray the Kim family in a highly favorable light, while downplaying or omitting any information that could be critical of the regime. This manipulation serves the regime's interests in consolidating power and maintaining control over the population.

In North Korea, the government maintains strict control over the education system, including the content of history textbooks. The ruling regime in North Korea has a dominant perspective that focuses on the leadership of the Kim family, portraying them as heroes and saviors of the nation. This dominant perspective has resulted in a monopoly of historical interpretation, where only one viewpoint, that of the regime, is seen as valid and acceptable.

Depending solely on one group for verification can result in a monopoly of perspective, where only one viewpoint is seen as valid.

Without a central authority like the FDA, pharmaceutical companies would have to seek approval from multiple regional or national health agencies, leading to redundant verification efforts. This would significantly increase the time required to bring a new drug to market.

In healthcare, especially during public health emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic, quick decisions about the approval of vaccines or treatments are crucial. Having a central authority like the FDA helps ensure that knowledgeable experts make informed decisions promptly, based on rigorous evaluation.

When a pharmaceutical company develops a new drug, they must submit clinical trial data to the FDA. The FDA, as the central authority, evaluates this data to determine whether the drug should be approved for use.

With a central group verifying knowledge, redundant verification efforts across multiple organizations or parties can be minimized. This makes knowledge evaluation more efficient and less time-consuming. This can be particularly valuable in fields where quick decisions or judgements are necessary.

Confirmation bias is a broad term to describe what occurs when people select or interpret information to confirm their existing knowledge. It is a way of selective attention where our expectations and assumptions influence what we choose to pay attention to and what we filter out. This includes the tendency to interpret ambiguous information so that it supports their existing ideas or beliefs.

Belief bias is the propensity to accept conclusions as true because they are convincing rather than because they are logically sound. It is impacted by one's knowledge of the world.
