An entirely separate issue which I don't want to get into with this topic.

Maybe once I'm done clearing up everyone's misconceptions about climate change, we can get on to a productive discussion about what we can reasonably do to combat it.

Read the post. Hard data disagrees with your anecdote.

Sorry mate, I read the emails of the real scientists...

The 'hard data' doesn't support the claims.

Climate scientists disagree. I have provided ample data. Unless you are going

Only the climate scientists you choose to quote. The other ones don't.

I think those 97% are on to something with this one.

Defenestrator

LOL you should reread that pitiful paragraph before quoting 97% again

You should try responding in a constructive way like dsp81

Deleting your post because it looks stupid, doesn't make my hearing poor

I'm not sure that's what it says. Maybe you should check it again.

Retyping a post doesn't change it either.

Changing the subject when you're the one blatantly fabricating circumstantial

Ya, makes a lot of sense now.

Nice flippant response. Don't even address my points. Typical lib.

Illegal Jimmergrant

I've reviewed your posting history. This is typical flippant James.

Again, just poo poo the fact you got caught quoting falsely inflated numbers.

JamesDean

1/2/14 11:15pm

That's fantastic, but it doesn't prove what you are saying it proves

dsp81

1/2/14 11:20pm

The 97% was falsely attributed to scientists. I should have said peer reviewed

Defenestrator

1/2/14 11:28pm

Oh ya, and the data we quoted...that was out of context too.

JamesDean

1/2/14 11:34pm

The numbers are nearly identical

Defenestrator

1/3/14 12:10am

Again, I think you are overstating the evidence

dsp81

1/3/14 1:17am

My original claim was overstated, hence why I revised it.

Defenestrator

1/3/14 8:52am

I think you missed my point

And this is why I stopped giving in depth answers.
