A shout out to jshore

For over a month now, this poster has been conversing with the Global Warming [del]deniers[/del] skeptics. Over at least three threads, he has been providing authoritative rebuttals to several posters who seem to post on this one issue alone, and seem to do it 24 hours a day. All the while, jshore has maintained his composure and stood up to every challenge - reading lengthy citations submitted by the skeptics and analysing and rebutting them.

I think the skeptics now wish that he wouldn’t read their cites, as occasionally jshore catches them linking to non-scientific, clearly biased websites.

Anyway, I just wanted to acknowledge his good work and ability to remain composed and polite in the face of some really consistent challenges. I am a meteorologist so I really enjoy reading the debates, although I know nothing about computer modeling, which is his field.
