If you mean that these threads are an all-you-can-eat buffet, then, yeah. And it doesn’t matter what you feed them either. Facts, for example, just go straight on through. ---

Let’s just assume for arguments sake the following is factual. > [@](#): > > Speaking of the ‘hiatus’ in global warming that has been observed since the end of the 20th century, and the doubt that it has cast on climate change modelling – points which had been discussed at length at the Global Warming Policy Foundation event – Davies remarked: > > “They had two guys whose job it was to go around and persuade everyone that we’re all trying the ruin the economy. > > “We pinned them down on this hiatus… they were arguing that yes, there might have been a hiatus, but warming might be going into the ocean, or it could be due to volcanic activity. So we asked at what point would you begin to accept there had been no warming. If there is no warming for five years, or ten years? > > “Finally they conceded they would wait fifty years. > > “We asked would that be fifty years from now, or fifty years from 1997, when the hiatus started? They said they wouldn’t change their mind for fifty years from now. > > “Effectively, we’re all going to be dead before the Royal Society admits they’ve got their facts wrong. There could be absolutely no warming every year for the next fifty years, and the Royal Society would still maintain that climate change is a major problem”. [source](http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/06/16/exclusive-well-all-be-dead-before-climate-change-orgs-admit-theyre-wrong-says-mp/) So at least we got a concrete answer on one question. I can see the alarmists bobble heads all nodding in agreement. ---

I guess you didn’t keep up with the news during your time out. I’d have expected more from someone so in tune with the science.

That, and [Pope Francis](http://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate-change/pope-blasts-global-warming-deniers-20150616-ghp52z.html) announcing (or preparing to announce) that climate change deniers are full of crap. That’s not a scientific view _per se_, but it amuses me to note that even the Catholic Church has accepted the science faster than **FX Mastermind**. _Eppur si riscalda._ ---

I know the source is considered sensationalist or something. But did David Davies actually say what the source reports he said? Did two top scientist say what David Davies claimed they said? That’s why I said “imagine it’s factual”. Imagine they actually said it. I can still see alarmists nodding in agreement. It’s actually a constant question in the climate wars. What would “you” consider evidence that the theory is not right? Usually it’s something along those lines. “The planet would have to cool for 30 years, arctic ice and glaciers would have to start growing, and the oceans would have to drop a foot or two, then I will believe the theory is wrong.” In any case, it always involves enough time that there is no way for anything to be known now. But really what it says is, the theory is right, and nothing will convince me otherwise. ---

So, the very fact that so few in the boffin community agree with you is evidence that they are hopelessly stubborn, refusing to see the obvious truth of your cogent and acute analysis? Which you take as further evidence that you are right and they are wrong? ---

FXMasturbates, you’ve had people bashing you over the head with science, and you respond with a Breitbart story about the opinion of a British MP. And then, when your new “evidence” is rejected, you conclude that this proves your point? Jesus, are you ever a complete moron.
