It’s as if doing so is Kryptonite to him. Once he does it the fog dissipates and he ceases to be. Still, it’s beyond weird. I think what’s going on is that **Gigobuster** is (1) not very bright; but (2) extremely narcissistic in regards to his intellect. (As evidenced by his ridiculous nickname). So he needs to fool himself into thinking he is making intelligent arguments. Of course it helps him to obtain narcissistic supply if other people regularly stroke his ego. Thus global warming is a good choice since there is a popular belief, especially among liberals, that people of superior rationality and morality take the warmist side of the debate. So that if you wander into a discussion of global warming and make a weak argument which supports the warmist point of view you have a pretty good chance of getting stroked anyway by ignorant people who, like you, are there for moral and intellectual preening. ---

It has to be noticed that I agree and I have used most of the sources you cited and I even posted on the differences of Global Warming and Climate change, you are just propping up a strawman about me. And after all what I reported before, this is really stupid. And still a dodge (#9) to the accepted start of your sorry “debate”, for starters: one reason one sees the spike in your chard on 1956 is that scientific American and others did notice what Plass did.

C. Chamberlain. Plass explained in detail the sources and sinks for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and offered estimates of its influence on global average temperature and even ocean acidity.

This in the end also shows how dumb is to refer to me as spewing nonsense and at the same time agree with the brazil nut that I just cut and paste (like if it was not good to link to the science), as I pointed before an educated opinion is the best one, but it is really a demonstration of the contradictory nature of you guys when you can believe those 2 things at the same time. The dumb statement on this post here is telling: [QUOTE=FXMastermind] The mundane self proclaimed internet expert will spew ignorance like a firehose, but when you see them avoiding a simple question, while at the same time spending endless hours on long incomprehensible screeds, it’s an obvious bluff. [/QUOTE] No it is not you scare crow straw man-er, as I said before I want to make clear that you acknowledge already that there was/is a theory, and that the evidence is there. What you posted here was very likely going to follow from me when you finally acknowledged that. But you jumped the gun, and you are so dumb for 2 reasons, the first was to assume that I never did in the past tell many in this message board about how “Climate Change” was politicized by the Republicans and the history of the terms and their differences. The second was to assume that then it would be humiliating to me for you to show grandma how to suck eggs. Dumb, dumb, dumb after I agreed with your parameters that indeed there was/is a theory (in one of many lines of inquire on this issue) I told you what we were doing, concentrating first on the early/current theory of Plass and the confirmations of it. Other follow ups were under that condition, but if you want to show others that you prefer to demonstrate that you rely on straw men and think teaching grandma to suck eggs will make you look intelligent in front of others be my guest. ---

> [@magellan01](#): > > It is funny how he magically appears. Mention global warming, climate change, etc. and somehow, _presto_, Fogman has been summoned. No mystery, many posters in the message board tell me to look at the latest dumb copy passte from denier sources. I advice them to use the resources already available, and it has to be pointed here that even conservative scientists like Barry Bickmore recommend the “Skeptical Science” because it is a source of cataloged information on the already debunked denial points. The disparaging coming from FXMastermind is just a demonstration of a lack of meta cognition from him. You have to be aware first of what you do not know and what the experts are reporting. The idiotic thing FX did in his recent post was to declare that Skeptical Science are idiots for: ‘not knowing that’ “To a scientist, global warming describes the average global surface temperature increase from human emissions of greenhouse gases” Only that it is a perfect example of ignorance in action, it was known already (and it was not relevant to say it until we had dealt with the science behind why CO2 is warming the atmosphere and the evidence why it is mostly the man made one that is doing so.) And several articles deal with that weirdly specific line that is weirdly expected to show that “skeptical science” does not know. :rolleyes: Here is an example of what they reported before: > **[Why did climate cool in the mid-20th Century?](https://skepticalscience.com/global-cooling-mid-20th-century-advanced.htm)** > > There are a number of forcings which affect climate (eg - stratospheric aerosols, solar variations). When all forcings are combined, they show good correlation to global temperature throughout the 20th century including the mid-century cooling... > [@](#): > > Mid-century cooling was primarily anthropogenic > > To sum up, anthropogenic sulfur emissions appear to be the main cause of the mid-century cooling. These emissions decreased the mean global surface temperature by approximately 0.5°C during this period, while anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions caused a warming of approximately 0.4°C. Therefore, even though greenhouse gas emissions continued to have a warming effect during this period, it was more than offset (hidden) by anthropogenic aerosol emissions, until those emissions were brought under control by government intervention while greenhouse gas emissions continued to increase unabated. In other words, the mid-century cooling is actually an expected result based on our current understanding of climate science, and is successfully hindcasted by climate models (Meehl 2004). The articles in general do refer to the average temperatures, their change and the humans being more responsible for the current warming. This is a copy paste tactic from creationists that claim that scientists or science based sources are not using specific wordings and so we should declare a source or the science invalid, **it does not work that way** and it only shows the ones proposing that as attempting to limit the information that comes to their groupies. The intention is clear, to poison the well. To defend their own ignorance. ---

As for the brazil nut “Are you claiming that recent warming is NOT within the range of natural variation?” It was clear from the context that yes, it was not within the range of natural variation. And many posters and even moderators were not amused by his “debating” methods. That was just an element of the old JAQ maneuver, pretend to be naive when it is not only the words of a poster but cites that he is ignoring on purpose. ---

> [@FXMastermind](#): > > Did anyone else bother to read the wall of text? Let me know if it actually said anything new or interesting. TLDN version: You are a liar, and attempted to pass a “teach grandma to suck eggs” as a “smart” point to make that made you look stupid. And you only demonstrated that you are only a JAQoff all trades in avoiding acknowledging the basics of a theory that you lied to all others that it did not exist. The point that was missed is that if there is anything you should care about is to agree that making declarations as “there is no theory” should be dropped in the future, or agree that it is bad to lie when declaring that people like me do not even respond to a simple inquiry (“yes, yes, yes”). That, and many other straw men from you are just a very good way to be discredited in the SDMB. ---

One of the less than well established facts was the acceleration of the loss of ice in the north pole and Greenland. This was known for awhile, but it was the conservative nature of the IPCC that only added the expected sea rise from regular melting to their recommendations, in the end I would agree with the policy recommendations, when you are confronted with less supported contrarian scientific signals (have you forgotten about “skeptic” Spencer and his error filled models?) the most responsible thing is to basically ignore it until more evidence comes along. In the case of Ice loss the acceleration has gotten more evidence since the previous report that punted on the issue. And hence, as the leaks report, ocean rise is more certain to come and faster. In the case of the contrarian evidence, the contrary signals are less likely or showed to be wrong. > **[Andrew Dessler's New Paper Debunks Both Roy Spencer And Richard Lindzen](https://skepticalscience.com/Dessler-2011-Debunks-Roy-Spencer-And-Richard-Lindzen.html)** > > Andrew Dessler, a climate scientist at Texas A&M University, has released a scientific paper (Dessler 2011) that looks at the claims made by two of a small group of 'skeptic' climate scientists who regular SkS readers will be familiar with: Roy... > [@](#): > > Andrew Dessler, a climate scientist at Texas A&M University, has released a scientific paper (Dessler 2011) that looks at the claims made by two of a small group of “skeptic” climate scientists who regular SkS readers will be familiar with: Roy Spencer and Richard Lindzen.

And you remain only an expert clown that can only “teach grandma to suck eggs”, acknowledge that you were wrong on the theory not existing and the data that shows that indeed it was confirmed, and that Plass was not dismissed as you claimed. ---

BTW: There is only 5 minutes to edit so you just showed that you are willing to mislead others, you had time to see that I did correct it already before you posted that here. Incidentally you are just ignoring that I also admitted before that my grammar is a crime against nature as English is my second language. But posters who are teachers have told me that I do good, thank you very much. And tell me that many “native” Americans are worse so I should fell better. Finally just a friendly heads up, many posters here do see your attempt at being a “Grammar Nazi” to be very uncalled for in the SDMB when it is used to avoid dealing with the cites or arguments. ---

Well if English is your second language then you are doing just fine. Not with your arguments, but with the language. ---

> [@FXMastermind](#): > > Well if English is your second language then you are doing just fine. Not with your arguments, but with the language. So he is human after all, :). Still how can you say that the arguments are bad when in reality you do not want to deal with them? As it seems that you are not wanting to touch the issues that I granted before to you, then I see not much of point lefty there other that to report to others how full of projection you are. Going forward, as you are doing while refusing to acknowledge your misrepresentations, here you have to explain why a misunderstood leak from the IPCC is more valid than the more supported item that ocean rise is more likely and faster. So we still have to do something about our emissions, now, soon and on a big scale. ---

> [@GIGObuster](#): > > here you have to explain why a misunderstood leak from the IPCC is more valid than the more supported item that ocean rise is more likely and faster. There is an example of what people are trying to tell you, about your ‘style’ or method of speaking. It sucks. It does not work in any way. The words “you have to explain why a misunderstood leak” just don’t mean anything. It’s almost impossible to parse the meaning, and trying to tell other people they have to do something, it will get you nowhere. I think you are demanding that I, God knows why, must explain something to you. Except it’s obvious that isn’t what you really want at all. It’s a confusing and unrewarding way to approach things.
