      yes. I wish he'd post anything else that can be debated or at least talked about in a back and forth manner of facts.

            Who said I wanted debate? I am telling you that the arctic temperatures are also heavilly UHI affected. :) Besides, you cant wrgue with the fact, its too simple to be debated: If you put a eather station anyway near an urban settlement you get unaccurate data that always shows more warming then there is.

              As for that you are being presumptive, and wrong. You speak for three people. Other people manage to pass by posts they arent intertested in without insulting the poster, but this being AGW, and you turning into dick, you just cant resist it.

                        There is a point where a joke becomes an obscenity: The data collection that supposedly supports the theory that CO2 drives climate is, apart from being cherry picked, a sicntific joke. As is much of the other 'science' behind AGW (Manns Hockey stick and 'wind as a proxy for temperature in the troposphere' for example) Maybe you dont care about the 60 billion dollars GW has cost us already (in research) and the further 100 m dollars NOAA wants to fix its ground stations (because even they know they are a joke). And for what? To ATTEMPT to prove man is causing 'dangerous climate change', when the meerest glance at the data clearly shows no correlation between CO2 and true rural temperature, and that the recent warming trend is in no way unusual. Anyone can do that for a fraction of the sum wasted on this farce so far.

                            Oh, I see. :zzz: is an insult, where 'another dick'... is not. You're boring and obsessed. Anyone who fails to cater to your obsession is a dick, an AGW fanatic, etc. It's really pretty amusing- you have no idea of my beliefs on the subject, but since I don't share your mental disturbance, you assume I'm against you. :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz:

                              Yeah, and I for one am convinced that the only reason they were posted was so you could make the claim that you'd diversified. Of course your immediate return to AGW form demonstrates that your obsession is unchanged, and your other posts were nothing but a feeble attempt at a smoke screen. :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz:

                                Do you scan the internet and post comments to anything that doesn't interest you and you find boring? I can not think of any more pathetic. You perfectly well know what fat_boy's post is about. So here's what to do: - Don't open it. - Don't comment - Move on.

                                    And if you spent any amount of time here, you'd realize that F_B's incessant AGW drivel is boring the piss out of everyone here. Except himself, of course. Clearly, Ian is a regular here. Your insinuation that he's cruising the internet looking for trouble, and this was an instance of that, is obviously wrong. Which raises the question - do you scan the internet and post comments to anything that offends you or you don't understand? I can't think of anything more pathetic.

                                      Really? I can think of a lot more funny things than that.

                                        Oh, I see. :zzz: is an insult, where 'another dick'... is not. You're boring and obsessed. Anyone who fails to cater to your obsession is a dick, an AGW fanatic, etc. It's really pretty amusing- you have no idea of my beliefs on the subject, but since I don't share your mental disturbance, you assume I'm against you. :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz:

                                        They are both insults, which is fairly obvious I would have thought.

                                        Your opinion, which you trumpet at every oportunity. Its also not true, but thats another discussion which I will go into if you are interested. Althoguh I suspect you would rather think me boring because it agrees with your presumptions.

                                        No, anyone who answers one of my posts with a :zzz: is a dick. Which is true. Its true because they dont have the ability to put together a decent rebuttal, so instead resort to a insult.

                                        I dont know what your position is, I havent heard you stated it. But against me or not, you are still a dick for posting a :zzz:
