Exactly! We agree!!
Lets take this:
You doubted this. You then found the research that showed what it was based on, and then stopped fighting it. No, you never accepted it, but you did not resist it for a very short time. Now, you seem to have forgotten and resist it again, claiming science.
I have posted videos of several scientists that would fall into the denier category simply because they doubt 100% man made cause of climate change. You claim to know better.
I have shown things that bring current scientific theory about climate change into doubt. Not that it is not happening, but that humans have a major affect on it. You claim to know more than my scientists, and say I am not using "research" because I did not go and read their 50 years of research.
I really do not understand why it bothers you so bad that I question established theory on climate change. I just do not trust what the IPCC does and how things are being done in the society to anyone who questions it. Bill Nye and others suggesting people should be jailed for doubting? Real scientists hiding and manipulating data so their theory is perpetuated. These are fascist in practice and you seem to support many of their actions.
I do not deny that humans have some affect on climate. I do deny that humans have 100% effect on climate. So I post things that support that humans are not so powerful and do not have so much affect on climate. I have stated I really like Bjorn Lomberg's approach. He IS a researcher. He basically states what I just said. Why is that such a problem? Why does this get under your skin? What is wrong with me doubting and questioning? Sound science can stand up against questioning. Maybe some of the "experts" I have posted are shills for big oil. Not all are. If they become discredited, then I am happy to admit they are not real scientists. Can you do the same with those behind Climategate? Can you reject those calling for deniers to be jailed? Can you reject those who want to tax carbon, thus make energy too expensive for developing countries? It is the poor who are hurt by taxation. Will you reject those Hollywood people who fly everywhere in their private jets, yet demand everyone else cut back on their carbon footprint?
You do not understand what this thread is about because you do not think like I do. That might be a good thing. I always learn more from those who think different. I like to see things that challenge my thought processes, most the time. When I do not, I ignore it and move on. if it bothers you, smile and wave.
Lastly, it is fun to poke the bear at times. You make a really good bear.
