Of course some are going to try and make it a global warming debate. Far be it from me to claim that I know your motivations in starting this thread, nor does it matter. But based on your extensive prior posting history on this topic and the way this thread has evolved, it seems to have turned into a vehicle for expounding on your amazing epiphany as stated in #105, that you have seen The Truth, which is basically that all of the world’s climate scientists are full of shit and that the IPCC is “[woo woo science](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=17815999&postcount=383)”. I can appreciate how difficult it must be for you to try to convince the rest of us that you – and you alone – are in possession of the True Facts, especially those of us with scientific backgrounds who understand, let us say, the difference between a [climate forcing and a feedback](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=17030924&postcount=135), or the [limited influence of solar variability on modern climate](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=17116875&postcount=493), or in general have the science background to see past the bullshit you try to peddle every time you post on this topic. No one is buying your bullshit, not because facts “don’t matter”, but because they do. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/facts-wont-change-your-mind-about-anything/710293)._
