....is found here.
Key point:
"This suggests that humans have the power to turn planetary warming into cooling — a scientific absurdity. We have neither the technology, the means, the money, nor the political will to do this."
You may remember the thread at Ed Cone's blog a while back about Paul Krugman's over-the-top piece of slime attacking Pat Michaels on his Global Warming/Climate change beliefs. Professor Michaels made a contribution to the debate personally, and his detractors on the thread have still not been able to refute his points.
Actually, the latest is here.
ReplyDeleteI guess we know the price of Pat Michaels integrity. 100K.
Well said Penguin. I love how Bubba quotes stuff without even doing his homework. Michaels is a paid lackey for the coal industry, nothing more nothing less. Pathetic Bubba. Why don't you finally, finally WAKE UP!
ReplyDeleteOh., please! Spare us with the phoney piety.
ReplyDeleteShall we provide a list of those folks on the other side who take money from those who stand to benefit from the nonsense of the True Believers?
This is typical of how the True Believers react when they can't refute the facts that run counter to their cherished myths.
The two of you DO realize that Michaels does not dispute "Global Warming" per se, don't you?
No, you wouldn't. Talk about not doing their homework!
"Well said"! What a joke!
I LOVE it when a plan comes together.
Keeep on posting, True Believers.....your self dug hole keeps getting deeper.
– In 2003, Michaels famously “proved” that global warming was mostly hype by mixing up degrees and radians.
ReplyDelete– In 2004, Michaels told Business Week, “We know how much the planet is going to warm. It is a small amount, and we can’t do anything about it.”
– This year, Michaels completely misrepresented a study by Curt Davis to falsely claim that Antartica has been gaining ice in recent years.
I appreciate your validation of my post in your reply, Roger.
ReplyDeleteHere's how the True Believers attack anyone with the gall to question their Global Warming World View.
ReplyDeleteKey point:
"Anyone who disputes Global Warming is called a “spinner.” Any information calling Global Warming into doubt is “disinformation” even if it’s simply a matter of differing opinions."
Does the link, and the link within the link seem to remind you of some True Believer replies on this very thread?
"True Believers;" "The Blogging Elite;" "The Jihadist Puppetmasters;" "The Appeasers and apologists" -- there are a lot of boggie men in your world, huh, Bubba?
ReplyDelete" "True Believers;" "The Blogging Elite;" "The Jihadist Puppetmasters;" "The Appeasers and apologists" -- there are a lot of boggie men in your world, huh, Bubba?"
ReplyDeleteNot nearly as many as it takes to justify some of your opinions, Roch.
By the way, Stew.....Professor Michaels answered your questions and established the basis for his words and actions in his replies to me, and on Ed's blog. There's nothing left for him to "prove" on that subject.
One more thing, Stew: Infering that Alan Caruba is somehow not well qualified in this area, and in the very next paragraph citing Tim Lambert as an authority on the subject is more than just a little ironic.
ReplyDelete"All I'm saying is that your continued failure to answer my question shows that you either don't understand basic concepts like the burden of proof, or you argue dishonestly"
ReplyDeleteSorry Stew....I am under no obligation to answer your non sequiturs.
If you think I'm arguing dishonestly, then you and I are through conversing.
Try someone else.
Is that answer clear enough for you?
Once more, and finally, Stew:
ReplyDeleteMichaels did not do what you attributed to him by inference. Indeed, he proved Hansen wrong.
That fact is NOT in dispute, whether you like it or not.
I do not respond to questions asked when the questioner already has a pre-determined answer to the question.
Go play that game with someone who is a willing participant.
Does that "clear things up" for you? Or do you have more non sequitur statements that you would care to make?
"(retreating to base name-calling - "Blogger Elite" and "True Believers" - is another way you do this)."
ReplyDeleteThe first term was coined by that great inventor/creator, algore himself.
The second is an accurate description.
Neither qualifies as "name calling".
As far as the other part of your post, it put me to sleep, so I can't really comment.
"As far as the other part of your post, it put me to sleep, so I can't really comment."
ReplyDeletePerfect. Yet another lame ass attempt at non-answering. I love the fact that you cannot defend your writings on your own blog so you don't even try anymore. I hope all who come here read and see you for what you are.
All except Jaycee of course who kisses your ass at every opportunity.
"roger," that's funny!
ReplyDeleteIf you knew me at all, you'd know I don't kiss nobody's butt.
Bubba and I (and a lot more people than you'd care to admit) just agree on many things.
