Thats right, the SB is for ranting, unless its about overreliance on models and how that might impact AGW. Its for ranting unless its about ecconomic policy driven by AGW. Its for ranting unless its about the UN alarmism with an example from AGW. Its for ranting and its OK if the rant compares AGW scepticism to crackpot religions. You are biassed Chris. Admit it. You secretly support AGW and like Google and the Soros owned press you will stifle freedom of speech. :)

Species extinction, not AGW. (BTW: Climate models are all wrong. :) )
Everybody is elitist to a certain extent; except me - I'm better than that. Micah
Yep, all overstate the impact of CO2 by a factor of 4 and thus overstate the expected warming by a factor of 4. 1 degree rise and extra CO2 will imcrease crop yields and make plants more drought resistant thus aleviating poverty and starvation globally. Those are the facts. Proved, empirical, known. Models on the other hand...

And usually when freedom of speech comes up, someone will jump in and say "but it doesn't apply here, it only applies to actual talking in real life" Well guess what, it applies here. "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." (Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights) OTOH, it wasn't deleted, just moved.

Moved to a forum rarely visited. And in any case, my posts are deleted. Interesting quote fomr the Human Rights declaration. Have to try it out in the lounge. :)

I don't know Chris, it looks like they had the debate anyways. :rolleyes:

You've claimed this before and had to retract. Please do so again. :laugh:

I have never had to retract this statement. Feel free to prove me wrong by finding where you think I did so. :laugh:

Just check back on our last debate where you dismissed reearch showing that was not the case, and then grudgingly agreed it was valid.

No I didnt. You go find it or keep quiet.

Hey fat_boy. Here's some more evidence[^] of scientists using models inaccurately (That's the PC way of saying they are lying). Although it does appear that it is other scientists that have figured out that the models were being used improperly. :doh:

There you go, had a look, cant find it, thus I didnt say it. Now retract. :P

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. :laugh: Go back to when you dismissed open field experiments that did not find the purported increase in yield that closed greenhouse ones did. I pointed out that your dismissal was invalid and the experiments did throw doubt on the claimed increase. On the basis of the observations before me (i.e. your responses to other peoples' points) I conclude: 1 You do not understand the nature of science. 2 You have a predetermined view that simply dismisses any contrary findings. 3 You make extravagant claims that you cannot back upa nd often have to retract. 4 You don't listen. This is not a model! :laugh:

Well if you cant find any and I cant find any then really your assertion is baseless. :) As for the FACE experiments I would never accept that they were a valid test for CO2 concentrations because of their inability to control CO2 levels accurately. A closed greenhouse is far more accurate. So really, I cant see how you can think there ever was a conversation in the past where I accpted them. As for the rest, if you want to attck me personaly to back up a weak position then you are at least conforming to type. After all, when it fails to warm, when storms fail to become more frequent, when plants fail to suffer, and wildlife fails to go extinct you can always call those who point this out stupid, deniers, non-scientific and excentrics. I however will call them empiricists. :)

But a closed greenhouse is a model and we know (from your previous posts) how useless they are. I pointed out that the FACE studies were aware of the problem of keeping CO2 levels constant and that they monitored and regulated the levels automatically. IIRC you accepted this (perhaps I'm wrong and you simply went quiet :laugh: ).
