            Your comments are based on an article that is based on a summary that is based on a peer-reviewed article. What, was the summary article too difficult for you to understand? You actually need some other blogger to interpret a summary article for you? Hahahaha! That's hilarious. Thank goodness you have people who can tell you how to think about an article that you never read.

              Thats a really feeble response. Come on, surely you can do better than that.

                It's just legal precedent: Ramsbottom v Blackpool Zoo. The magistrate gave his opinion that no one was really to blame.

                  Alright, you're almost there. Now imagine you actually had an interest in science and avoiding potential extinctions of the human race, and someone kept ranting about how it isn't possible, how all off these cherry picked examples where horribly wrong, and no matter what was said to them they continued to pick examples that very few people had any interest in defending. How seriously would you take them? Because really, you're like halfway to actually being able to look at the issue without the hyperbol.

                      Actually I just liked the way this guy worded it. I read this ridiculous bit of 'scicnce' some days ago, but havent seen it so humourously dismissed as this, I thought I would share it with everyone as it is pretty funny. So sorry. Your cheap shot missed by a mile. See if you can come back with some science rather than a personal attack, you might have better luck scoring.

                            Seems to be a wonderful example of why you shouldn't post before you're awake. But roughly, how seriously would you take someone who rants about every slightest thing that fits their views of what the opposition 'really is'.

                              If you think the writer of the piece is ranting I agree, I also dont care. I amd not going to take hime seriously, but his writing is ammusing. What I DO take seriously is the subject of his rantings.

                                  Still waiting for a comback from you. Whats up, havent got one? Still hiding eh? What a disfunctional little person you must be to insult me then run away rather than discussing the facts. You really are a fool you know. You really are incapable of thinking for yourself. A scientist tells you its warming because of CO2 (after he said it was cooling because of CO2) and you believe him. You just buy in to the whole thing without any critical thought whatsoever. What a pathetic drip you are.

                                    I just thought you might have done so. To me it was obvious it would be, there is no way they could have seriously damaged GW; too many people have too much invested, but, the whole episode has not gone unnoticed and public support for GW is on the floor, particularly following some cold years.

                                      Still waiting for a comback from you. Whats up, havent got one? Still hiding eh? What a disfunctional little person you must be to insult me then run away rather than discussing the facts. You really are a fool you know. You really are incapable of thinking for yourself. A scientist tells you its warming because of CO2 (after he said it was cooling because of CO2) and you believe him. You just buy in to the whole thing without any critical thought whatsoever. What a pathetic drip you are.

                                      If I didn't find the argument or the evidence persuasive and I had good contrary evidence or a good rebuttal, it's possible to: 1) contact the author directly for a usually interesting discussion 2) write a good rebuttal editorial to the journal 3) write a counter article presenting my own evidence Science. This is how it works. I'm not surprised you're not familiar with these options because while they're pretty well known to people who have actually spent any time in the scientific community, people who never made it past high school tend to just bluster and whine on the internet, where *everybody* can have a poorly written opinion! Yay! Scientific consensus supports AGW. Period. And before you start with "bias, lying, etc" crap there was absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing by the scientists. There is nothing stopping genuine scientific discourse. There is no more evident bias in climate scientists than there are in any other scientific research discipline, so bias applied as selectively as you do is an unconvincing argument, particularly when the real money (oil companies) is on the side of denying AGW and is quite happy to hand out grant money.

                                        Seems to be a wonderful example of why you shouldn't post before you're awake. But roughly, how seriously would you take someone who rants about every slightest thing that fits their views of what the opposition 'really is'.

                                        My problem isn't posting when I haven't woken up. It is when I have already had my evening meds. The mind is long gone, but the fingers keep typing! I've been truly amused at my own posts, the next day. :rolleyes:

                                          And there was I thinking it was all about facts.

                                          Actually this isnt true. The theory of AGW has not been proved, the IPCC knows this. It states that no human effect on temperature can be detected, and so it remains a theory. And in any case, concensus has never been a substitute for proof. Science has never worked this way.
