Don't put words in my mouth?Pooey

I'd hardly call the collective conclusion of the majority of scientist as mere nonsense.
I didn't call the collective conclusions nonsense. I called your dismissal of the counter arguments nonsense.

Quote:
The IPCC doesn't carry out any research, what's he on about
Who said they did? It issued conclusions based on studies it chose. Who said the majority of scientists participated? You did..and in fact the majority didn't?

Quote:
No you haven't, you've posted rehashed arguments that don't have a leg to stand on once as soon we look at it in detail.
As I predicted you twist and dismiss rather than accept other opinions and conclusions?
An example..
Quote:
The relationship between temperature and CO2 is not completely linear but nevertheless, the trend is still there. Let's not forget that it was due to El Nino that 1998 was such a record breaker.
How do these figure in? What do you mean by this? The author wasn't talking about a specific year, he was talking about the years since 1998?

Frankly I'm begining to realize the depths of your beliefs preclude you from acepting other beliefs or even considering them? That's not the essence of scientific reason, is it? You've posted that you adhere to the scientific method and yet you don't accept other scientists conclusions if they differ from those that are already in your mind? You've repeatedly rejected logical conclusions from data if they differ from those in your rigid mindset. You repeatedly impugn the backgrounds and veracity of prominent climate scientists if their outlook differs from yours?


Thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.
