Michael Mann's Bad Behavior

Responding to EACH point Buzz writes:

My first point about Mann's comments is easily verifiable by just listening to the podcast linked to in the original article. Obviously you never listened to it and for some reason think that I have to support it somehow. Now tell me Sunny... what do I have to do? Write a transcript of the podcast just for you? Especially after you accused us "alarmist/warmist defenders" of just blindly defending Mann without listening to the podcast when you refuse to listen to it as well.

Zero evidence posted.


Then there is the point about Joe Bastardi getting his numbers wrong. This is something that anybody with some honesty, math skills, and ability to look things up can verify.

Yet you manage to post ZERO evidence to ME that he is wrong. It appears YOU don't have the skill to show me the math. :lol:

Post 312 was in reply to Jack which I didn't follow with previous postings that went on between YOU and Jack. My reply was to this POST 279, which you have yet to defend with evidence and facts:

Oh Great! The Heartland Institute has created a new website for the dissemination of lies and misinformation. And Jack will happily cut and paste the bull **** here for everyone to enjoy.

Some of the BS in this article...

That one line from Mann was not the only thing he said or the only evidence he gave about why Australia's latest fires were the worst ever. Granted... Mann's wording could have been better but this site is just lying about what Mann said.

The article also cites Joe Bastardi who gets his math wrong and uses just area burned to determine the worst fire. Problem is that the biggest bush fire ever effected mostly desert and largely uninhabited central regions. Plus he completely ignores all the other factors that determine how bad a fire is or the trend in fires. Like the frequency of fires that have been on the increase as the planet warms.

Then the article outright lies about Australia having environmental laws and recent policies that restrict logging and the clearing of brush. I have looked into this and know it is just not true.

It then goes on to cherry-pick data and misrepresent the science to lie about what climate change is doing to Austalia.


Another pile of denialist garbage courtesy of Jack Hays.

bolding mine

You really think anyone will spend 39 minutes listening to serial liar and debate chicken Dr. Mann? :roll:

The Mann LIED about his Loss to Dr. Ball, he LIED claiming he is a Nobel Prize winner, he lied about his hockey stick paper, on and on he lies. That is why I didn't bother listening to him, the link discusses his talk with ZERO facts/evidence quoted.

Buzz drones on with more fact/evidence free reply:

Then there was the third point I made that there were no environmental laws or policies that restrict logging and the clearing of brush. And since there is no way I can prove a negative then it is you and your fellow denialist responsibility to refute this.

Zero evidence to support your claim, gee evidence seems like a dirty word to you, since you complain about what Heartland writes, but that is all you offer, complaints, without facts and evidence (Oops that dirty word again) which means you didn't make a case you claimed.

Ends with another forum violation that will not be enforced, for calling other members a liar, which he has done many times:

So... please quit lying about me and saying I can't support or back anything up. It is just not true.

What data/evidence were they Buzz?

Fourth point seems to be missing...……….

Three of your four points NEVER had any evidence (Dirty word, I know!) to back it up with, the fourth was to a post 312 in YOUR reply to jack, with no source on what Bastardi actually stated, no source for his quotes. When you quote anyone, you MUST post the link to the source, you didn't do that...…

Not once have I actually defended the Heartland link, just mock the reactions warmist/alarmists are expected to make, you came through in flying colors!

I am surprised he has no evidence to back up his usual lies...…..

Now watch the alarmist/warmist defenders come rushing in, never actually listened to his podcast at all, just defend him out of brainwashed reflex.
You are quite a babbler, with aversion to showing evidence in the your replies to me.

Whatever, Sunny...

Go ahead and continue making excuses for ignoring my points and arguments all you want but I am done trying to debate you when you can't actually address or refute even a single thing I am saying.

Oh... and I didn't call any forum member a liar. You need to learn the difference between calling someone a liar and pointing out that a statement is a lie.

Points without facts or evidence are pointless.

I had nothing to refute the whole time, simply exposing your fact/evidence free postings, for what it is, NOTHING!

Who wrote this....?

So... please quit lying about me and saying I can't support or back anything up. It is just not true.

Oh... I see what the problem is here. You have no intention of actually debating anything I am saying here. You just decided from the start to describe all my arguments as "nothing" no matter if they were legitimate or not.

You just decided to lie!!

Looks to me like a clear case of trolling/flame baiting intended to just piss me off. You do realize this behavior is against the forum's rules?

And is this how you "destroy" people on the net? Just present arguments so idiotic and dishonest that they just give up and start avoiding you?

:roll:

Is it going to be another claim that I am lying?????

You know you have no support for you position. You know you have been extremly dishonourable in your dealings on this forum.

It took you half an hour between posting

How long does it take to find a river that has a bigger flow rate in Greenland than the Watson?

Yes that would work a lot better, I even ASKED for evidence/facts repeatedly, the poor guy couldn't pony up any, thus there was nothing to debate on.

He calls me liar over and over, yet never present any evidence of a lie, I thought this is a forum violation, oh well.

I repeatedly asked YOU to present evidence/facts to support your "points", you never did, just repeating your "points" over and over is failing to answer my requests for evidence/facts.

You are the ONLY one who accuse me of trolling, that covers several forums I visit.

You have called several people in this thread a liar, and more than once, isn't that a forum violation?

Snicker...……..

Only if you make it obvious. Like when you tell me I won your challenge and then start telling everyone that no-one has been able to beat your challenge.

Some of us have to go to work at 8 in the morning over here in the U.S.

And did you forget when I showed you a bigger river?

What a load of ****!! You never once asked me for evidence. Not even once. All you did is deny that I had made any points, arguments, or presented any evidence even though I had provided all three numerous times. You have literally denied every single thing I have said about this whole debate no matter if you had a legitimate reason or not.

Sunsettommy said:

I don't believe that for a second.

And I can cite instances of you trolling/flame-baiting me here. Like when you first came to this forum and ended up getting us all warned not to bring up stuff from other forums. You even got your buddy John to come and help. And then there are all the times you lie about me being hateful and/or angry. Or when you lie about me name-calling when you call people names way more frequently. The fact of the matter is that you troll me on a regular basis.

Sunsettommy said:

Prove it. Quote where I have called anyone a liar. All I have done is point out lies. Something you seem to have no problem doing on a regular basis.
 
Nope and nope.

He’s currently telling me in another thread about this ‘biggest’ river, and his specific reference to the river says nothing to back his claim. But he keeps posting it like it does.

Hilarious.

How about telling us what the flow rate of that river is?

How about being honest for once?

OPINIONS is what you wrote, no evidence/facts are shown at all.


My several posts to YOU in replies to your "points" of which you NEVER backed it up with facts/evidence, not even after I repeatedly stated you didn't provide any, you still didn't, that is a factual reality.

POST 281

Oh my absolutely ZERO counterpoints to offer here, just the usual caterwauling personal attacks on people and organizations. When people like YOU do that, it is clear you have no argument to make, which is harder to do than make lazy copout attacks.

Cheers

POST 282

I actually read them, which is why I am laughing at you for your last two ZERO evidence/fact free diatribe flavored posts.

Why are you so deficient in self awareness?

POST 298 (The main post that pointedly showed YOU never offer evidence/facts to support your.... "points")

You are just looking truly stupid, not a scintilla of evidence comes from you in your last few postings.

Buzz ZERO evidence postings

Post 279 (Michael Mann's Bad Behavior)

Post 280 (Michael Mann's Bad Behavior)

Post 284 (Michael Mann's Bad Behavior)

Post 286 (Michael Mann's Bad Behavior)

Post 293 (Michael Mann's Bad Behavior)

In all these listed postings, he present ZERO evidence, ZERO sources, ZERO counterpoints to what me and Jack post about.

Dead end postings makes you a debate free fella.

Cheers

Buzz make this irrational reply, POST 313

Wow! That is just not true.

I made 4 points about the Heartland article. All 4 of them are a counterpoint to the article. So you claiming that I made no counterpoints is just a completely idiotic statement.

The first one required no source because it was already given in the article(the link to the podcast) and the evidence that Mann said more than described was in that recording.

And the one about there not being any environmental laws and recent policies does not require any evidence or sources since you can't prove a negative. Now if you or any other denialist wants to prove that one wrong then cite the law or policy that backs up the Heartland article.

And as far as the other two counterpoints I made... If anyone wants to seriously debate them then I will be happy to provide further evidence if you guys are unable to fack check them yourselves.

Fact of the matter is that you claiming I have presented "ZERO evidence, ZERO sources, ZERO counterpoints" is another denialist lie.

Rational people would use actual evidence/facts to make a counterpoint, NOT "points" which are NOT evidence/facts at all.

Shall I go one about my repeatedly showing in post after post that you DON'T post evidence/facts to support your "points"?

By now most readers will think/say that you were given repeated opportunities to provide the evidence/facts to rebut my common statements that you don't post any facts/evidence at all.

You to this point, never provided EVIDENCE/FACTS to prove your claim about Heartland Institute at post 279, YOUR "points" are OPINIONS, nothing more.

Don't worry the rest of us understand that Buzz's idea of evidence is to shout about it then claim he has posted it. Not having done so... Then call you a liar for not agreeing with him.

He started shouting that Geenland had 3 rivers bigger than the Watson last time, then .....

[h=3]Mann Blames Climate Change for Refugees – As Crop Yields Set...[/h][FONT=&quot]April 2, 2020
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Prominent climate alarmist Michael Mann appeared on a March 29 CleanTechnica podcast claiming climate change is causing an uptick in refugees,...[/FONT]

And yet even more denialist lies and misinformation from the Heartland Insistute.

:lamo

I went and briefly looked over the article and almost every link used to back up this BS goes to more denialist BS. I was only able to find one actually study of global droughts but it backs up Mann's claim that some refugee problems are caused by drought. Especially in North Africa and some parts of the Middle East.

Damn Jack, you should stick to cutting and pasting WUWT. It is at least a little more honest than the junk the Heartland Institute puts out.
