I've said repeatedly that my 'expertise' is limited in science, but that I can think logically and critically of what is presented... first it was lack of 'consensus', so I showed that; then it was a lack of peer-reviewed study, I showed that; I get called a conspiracy theorist, so I show evidence for that; I show that this ties to other areas, I show the evidence for that and once beat am told to 'keep to subject'... Then to point out this attack makes ME childish?? At least finally a couple others have come up and at least helped support some of my argument... when you can't see your own double-speak, you really are a great citizen for the 'new world' unable to question what's presented. I've tried to concede a middle ground 4 times now, where we both sides could agree that what affects climate for real is still 'undecided' and thus up for debate... then I'm repeated the claims of the 'consensus of government funded scientists and reviewers' (which isn't a REAL consensus by ANY stretch) means that the 'debate is over'... at some point you'll have to accept that the earth heats according to cycles that I don't have a full grasp on, and I doubt any scientist has a full grasp of all the intricacies... the calculations are beyond our most powerful super-computers. Since you are the physicist explain to me how I'm wrong in believing that interstellar energy can enter our solar system, and potentially reach the earth? Cause I'm going based on the idea that 'unless the energy is in other ways trapped or dissipated completely' (or pushed aside by 'solar winds') explain how that's not possible. If so, how would you marry that to the fact that if there is visible light reaching that it's the only spectrum of energy to 'make it here'? Now, assuming for a second that energy could arrive from other stars (I'm waiting for you to explain how that's not real still), galaxies, etc. clearly it would be greatly dissipated... but COULD that energy have an effect on earth?? Bonus points if you can show this without quoting from 'realclimate' or the 'IPCC'... |

It is not a lack of knowledge in physics that is the issue, it is a lack of intellectual honesty and/or capability that keeps this discussion from addressing the finer points and reaching a compromise. The issue isn't understanding of physics, for most of the physics being discussed here is basic... It is an understanding or other aspects such as interpretation skills and critical analysis reagrding recognizing and researching relevant data that is the issue. That is why I have only engaged him in aspects that deal with language and thinking, in a sense, psychology. If one can tear down the aspects that I outlined, then it makes the facts and position irrelevant due to being based upon a faulty to false foundation of reasoning... |

AKA: Climate Change is a RED HERRING to quell real debate on issues that might put 'business as usual' at risk. The people get proposed the 'problem' of global warman, people then 'react' by eventually giving up their power to government... and government provides a 'solution' that people would initially reject, which ultimately will be a global 'human' tax. That you can't see the relation tells me that you don't see how people are manipulated... I mean, you probly still think that election fraud is a 'non-issue' like people have been led to believe.

Classic cherry-picking. 1998 was a strong El Nino year, the long term trend persists. Quote:
It's the politicization of 'the green movement' that is a bigger threat. Because this is what'll bring a pointless 'carbon tax' that'll just make mobility more expensive. Think of it like this : If you can't afford the technology to have a 'near zero' carbon footprint, then you are an enemy to be eliminated. That is the REAL threat we are eventually going to face. If you see that for what it is, it makes sense why 'why climate change deniers are compared to holocaust deniers (as example) or worse. That's not the type of environment that encourages real debate. |

I've explained the same things in so many different ways, from so many perspectives... I'll let the reader come to the conclusion... with the number of 'green ads' on this site, I'd wager they hope 'not too many'. |
