I'm not sure how to respond, you've lost the plot, how do you respond to someone that has lost the plot?  ;D

Let me translate. If you just say "hysterical nonsense" without saying why you think that, then you haven't really made a case. You're just heckling.

Obviously his dad was a heckler: possibly sold real estate and subsequently became disconnected from social life and hence ended up embittered!

“Here in the U.S., the news media has been intimidated, frightened, and not only frightened, they are vulnerable to distorted news judgments because the line separating news and entertainment has long since been crossed, and ratings have a big influence on the selection of stories that are put on the news,” Gore said in remarks at the Brookings Institution.

“And the deniers of the climate crisis, quite a few of them paid by the large fossil fuel polluters — really it is like a family with an alcoholic father who flies into a rage if anyone mentions alcohol, and so the rest of the family decides to keep the peace by never mentioning the elephant in the room. And many in the news media are exactly in that position,” the former vice president said.

Good post DRAH. That's quite a good description. I keep recalling the difference between apathy and denial.

Quote:

Denial looks like apathy. In fact, denial actively masquerades as apathy; people in or near denial will tell you they’re just not interested. But unlike apathy, denial is unconsciously motivated. If I’m really “just not interested” in your issue, that’s apathy – your issue didn’t make my list. If I can’t bear to get interested, if the issue threatens my sense of how the world works or arouses emotions I cannot tolerate, that’s denial.

Sound like a few people we know?

Denial is one of the 5 stages of dying whereas apathy is not.

When the words 'if' and 'predicted' star in the first sentence I don't need to be convinced that everything that follows will be generously coated in fairy dust  ;D

It seems a few of them have lost the plot.

The hysteria has been notched up over the last few days.

Their arrogance is starting to become repulsive, quite frankly.

# is merely a brainwashed troll who believes every single thing he reads that is pro AGW - I wouldn't pay much attention to him (because that's exactly what he's after).

Stand by for more "arguments" based on consensus and the lives of your kids, and your kids' kids. 

Consensus, personal abuse, emotions, and lies are their main sources of debate.  Science, unfortunately, comes in dead last.

Are you trying to convince young people that good science doesn't need error value by any chance?!!?

Your kids must love you  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Case in point: another lie from the alarmists.

I've never said any such thing, but that doesn't stop this cult member from stooping to the lowest level.

No, it's the facts and the science that counts.

You ignore both.

Very entertaining but not exactly on topic

Thought it would be a fitting end to this thread where we some how agreed not to disagree.....!!!!!!

OK, I'll accept that.
