I cannot trust “furscience” to be impartial.

They have verifiable sources and are an international group of interdisciplinary scientists but their conclusions don’t mean that your subjective experiences aren’t real. Still, they are anecdotal, which is why I wanted to provide another source of information for people reading this thread.

EDIT: To clarify, Furscience is a research group funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. They are actual, published scientists, some with doctorates. Even if some of them are part of the subculture they still apply proper methodology and are subject to peer review.

Climate science doesn’t come from a single source. I don’t see this furry science being referenced outside of furry science.

I don’t quite understand what you mean by that but their publications have been cited by people who aren’t part of the research group. Which is an actual academic endeavor with many contributors, not just someone blogging.

god forbid a chemistry major doesn’t peer review my sociological paper written on the furry community.

TBF a sociologist might, but furscience are likely sociologists anyway so.
