Its just a fact. Do you deny it?



Its also utterly irrelevant, as the sources for my views on AGW are distinguished experts in the climate science field who do not happen to share either the endless streams of government grant money that flows unendingly to researches who's research provides politicians and government bureaucracies with the kind of science they are looking for, I.e., science with policy ramifications, or the background ideological motivations of many in the AGW movement.


I find your continued attempt to shut down critical debate by claiming access to arcane, gnostic knowledge beyond the ken of a non-scientist--while first rate climate scientists, skeptical of AGW hysteria, write books, monographs, and magazine articles for the general reader articulating and explaining in clear terms the basic nature of the science and what the data may or may not mean, to be, for all intents and purposes, another in a long series of your white flags.


Look, the point is so much simpler.

I imagine you are in a room with 42 topologists. Two of them claim that a certain proof about the cohomology of some orbifold is incorrect. The other 40 say it is a correct proof and hold that opinion even after hearing the arguments of the two.

Now we both agree that the opinions don't prove anything.

But if a nonexpert agrees with the 2 and not the 40 then some explanation for that choice is needed.
Now if the 2 used to be 3 or used to be one seems of little consequence. On what basis would you side with the two? That it is a growing minority???
The only thing I can think is that you would have some other possibly, personal, political or religious reason. What could it be? That you think the cohomological arguments of the two are better than the 40?

Please answer: On what basis could a non-mathematician have for siding with the two?
It's just mysterious.

On what rational basis does a nonexpert go with minority opinion in a scientific field? You are attracted to the minority scientist's handsome smile? He is in your church or bowling league?

For you it is clear that the science is not the issue. You have bought into a conspiracy theory that involves the grand war between the left and right and a falsely perceived plot to foist socialism on an unsuspecting world (poppycock by the way). What else could it...


blah, blah, blah, rama, lama, ding dong.

NO answer?????????????
Those were real questions. You have just conceeded. What a loser.


The facts as they stand:

Nothing in empirical climate science, present temperature measurements, or in other related sciences confirms or supports the mathematical models.

No.
Your saying that doesn't make it so. Didn't they teach you that in Sunday school. No; I suppose they wouldn't have.

My condolences on your loss (of this argument).

tarsk: I'm glad you didn't get banned from mad.
One moment in annihilation's waste,
one moment, of the well of life to taste-
The stars are setting and the caravan
starts for the dawn of nothing; Oh, make haste!
