It is far too late for you to take that stance. Your recent posts have
been full of your clearly stated personal opinions which are very much
in the deniers camp and your childish mockery of anything that doesn't
match your prejudices doesn't help the cause of science one little bit.

Applying the standards of your own mentality to others merely betrays
exactly what it is.

There you go denying everything again - this time that you haven't been
posting opinions that fit cosily in the Lawson camp and that your snide
comments are childish mockery.

I was on the sceptic side of the fence once (still am really although
you have moved the goalposts so far that there isn't a balanced middle
any more) on the basis that the 3% of CO2 emissions attributable to
human activity was too small to make much difference in the great
scheme of things but since then it has been easy to pull holes in much
of what the deniers put out but much more difficult to quibble about
more than a matter of degree with the warmist agenda.

If the deniers manage to convince the politicians to do nothing and
the warmists are anywhere near correct there is a catastrophe looming
in the not too distant future when the inherently unstable influence
of positive feedback overwhelms the negative feedback that has kept
our climate stable between close limits for so long. The next stable
temperature band is likely to be a lot hotter that the 3.5C they are
bleating about at present. Waterworld it won't be but in a world
without permanent ice anywhere sea level is going to much higher so
goodbye London, New York, much of Pakistan, much of Israel, almost all
of the Arab West Bank and a host of other low lying areas too numerous
to mention. Flooding the Dead Sea area won't do much to alleviate
rising sea level but it could well put an end to Israel's current
territorial ambitions and that really would be seen by all and sundry
as a real Act of God. ;-)


See. Is all deniers versus warmists with you.

No room left for science..at all.

As I said above you have moved the goalposts so far to one side that
anyone who really does have a more balanced viewpoint than yourself is
held up to ridicule for being a warmist.
