In short: YOU.

You simply lie non-stop, and push absurd logical fallacies. All to push
your anti-science agenda.
I take it you cannot falsify or even throw reasonable doubt on any

part of the sources I have relied on. Otherwise you would have done
so.


While my first response to this was correct (your claims have been
trivially debunked) you are coming from the wrong angle he it is not
the job of others to debunk your every absurd claim. If you say the moon
is made of cheese, or the Earth is flat, or man never made it to the
moon, or man-made global climate change is a grand hoax pushed by tens
of thousands of scientists from different countries and disciplines and
through different funding, or whatever, it is not the job of the reader
to prove you wrong (though each of those is clearly and obviously wrong)
it is your job to offer a theory BETTER than the current one.

To do this you have to show evidence of understanding the current
theories and then show your theory is better.

You have failed at that. Horribly.

They always do.

Not at this current rapid timescale.

A key fact that these stupid, ignorant, right-wing assholes always

Far from arguing that your claim about "this current rapid timescale"
was unsupported, I assumed it was and that you would be able to tell
me the basis of your claim. I think you are now telling me that you
have no basis for that claim and to question it is heretical.

Deny, deny, deny. "It's all a giant conspiracy. Let's F$CK over the
one and only planet, that we have."

You won't have the courage to read the following but those who do will
be better able to assess whether or not it is a conspiracy. And,
unlike your claims, references to sources and accurate quotes are
contained in the document.

https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/10/...se-corruption/
or https://tinyurl.com/y5xwnrht


It is an interesting thesis which is backed up by selected quotes. It is
worth highlighting that nowhere does he point out the flaws (if any) in
climate science research. He alleges there's some noble cause corruption
yet without any evidence of it actually occurring. Then there's the whole
leftist agenda conspiracy theory...

His analogy to the police is fine except we have many, many (historical)
examples of police being guilty of NCC - the Birmingham six case in the UK
for example - yet none for climate science. There's no one saying "i know
my methodology is deeply flawed, but, hey I'm saving the planet. That's
what matters, right?"

The police convictions only need a little scrutiny and they fall apart.
Climate science is heavily scrutinised and doesn't fall apart.

The author may be a very eminent physicist, but I'm not falling for the
argument from authority bias here.

At least you read it, and replied. That makes you stand out from the
crowd. Thank you.


The point is that it doesn't support your position: that climate science is
flawed. It simply regurgitates a left wing agenda conspiracy theory with no
evidence. Which again isn't your position. You've always said the
conspiracy was all about the money. At least you did until i pointed out
that the IPCC is funded directly by national governments and NGOs and that
its budget was a tiny fraction of the oil companies' lobbying budget in the
U.S. alone.

Of course it matters. I certainly wouldn't trust anything published in the

That is true. Credibility is hard to gain and easy to lose. How you get us
through thorough editorial standards, veracity and transparency.

Innuendos,
unsupported opinions and personal attacks do not make the grade.


Correct. Which is where all science skeptic blogs fail.

Notice you point to a blog run by an anti-science whacko. You do not
point to peer reviewed journals. And on that specific one you have been
shown where it was debunked -- the very premise of that article is wrong
(it assumes fewer sources of data than are accurate). It is a lie. And
you keep pushing it.

In short: YOU.

You simply lie non-stop, and push absurd logical fallacies. All to push

I take it you cannot falsify or even throw reasonable doubt on any

How can we falsify a position that keeps shifting? And one that requires, a
frankly ridiculous position given today's politics, a well-organised,
consistent and global conspiracy to suppress any dissent. Only the "brave
bloggers " are able uncover the "truth". Really?!

I didn't say anything about trust. The word I used was 'scientific'.
You won't read Watts Up With That as you regard it as not a
'SCIENTIFIC' site. It's not a question of trust. It's not
'SCIENTIFIC'. Presumably if you read the same information on one of
your favourite sites it would then be 'SCIENTIFIC'. I have to say that
that's a slightly bizarre way of filtering your information

Ignoring where something is published is dumb.


Ans so too is using that information alone to decide whether or not
the information can be trusted.

It is a
very peculiar, but not uncommon, view of things. If you want to relate
the two it makes much better sense to say that a site is rendered

Thinks! - Now how can he determine the quality of a site if he never
reads it?

That is true. Credibility is hard to gain and easy to lose. How you get us
through thorough editorial standards, veracity and transparency.


There is always that list in Wikipedia to help you.

Innuendos,
unsupported opinions and personal attacks do not make the grade.


Correct. Which is where all science skeptic blogs fail.


You are not qualified to say 'all'. Certainly there is little of that
on Watts. There is certainly much more on that site I was directed to
to read about Dr Roy Spencer.

How can i check whether your essay is wrong when there is no evidence
presented? Where are your references and data? There is no "wrong" here as
it could all be a figment of your imagination. For example, where's the
evidence supporting the NZ forestry story, and how do you define the
Russian models as being "more accurate"?

rendered scientific (or not) by the site it is published on?


Of course it matters. I certainly wouldn't trust anything published in the
Daily Mail. Scientists think very hard about where they publish, as the
perception is that it reflects on their work.

I didn't say anything about trust. The word I used was 'scientific'.
You won't read Watts Up With That as you regard it as not a
'SCIENTIFIC' site.


I've read enough of it to know it's full of one-sided comments and posts.
Often intentionally misinterpreting the science.

It's not a question of trust. It's not
'SCIENTIFIC'. Presumably if you read the same information on one of
your favourite sites it would then be 'SCIENTIFIC'.


If the blog posts made it into a reputable, peer-reviewed journal then,
yes, I'd be more likely to accept them.

The blog posts are not science as they don't present science. Where are the
methodologies or results? They're opinion pieces with occasional data
hacking.

I have to say that
that's a slightly bizarre way of filtering your information

Ignoring where something is published is dumb.


Ans so too is using that information alone to decide whether or not
the information can be trusted.


No one uses that alone, but once you get to know a publisher, site or
editor then you can make assumptions.


It is a
very peculiar, but not uncommon, view of things. If you want to relate
the two it makes much better sense to say that a site is rendered
scientific (or not) by the knowledge it publishes.


Thinks! - Now how can he determine the quality of a site if he never
reads it?

That is true. Credibility is hard to gain and easy to lose. How you get us
through thorough editorial standards, veracity and transparency.


There is always that list in Wikipedia to help you.

Innuendos,
unsupported opinions and personal attacks do not make the grade.


Correct. Which is where all science skeptic blogs fail.


You are not qualified to say 'all'.


Every science skeptic blog I've read has the same theme. Very little
substance and plenty of hyperbole.

I take it you cannot falsify or even throw reasonable doubt on any
part of the sources I have relied on. Otherwise you would have done
so.


How can we falsify a position that keeps shifting? And one that requires, a
frankly ridiculous position given today's politics, a well-organised,
consistent and global conspiracy to suppress any dissent. Only the "brave
bloggers " are able uncover the "truth". Really?!


Hell! They only have to read the actual documents but you turn your
nose away refusing to even read the quotes and references.


I think you have me confused with someone else.
