> What it does is make me someone who is willing to call a spade a spade: I _couldn’t care less_ whether you respond or not. What I care about most is helping reinforce to casual thread passers-by that you’re a fucking industry shill who is knowingly sowing obfuscation and confusion.

> Anyone who reads the thread with a little care can see that you’ve been solidly rebutted dozens of times. And that you don’t actually hold a position; you’re just trying to baffle with bullshit, to plant an unjustified seed of doubt where little or none exists in the actual science. In short, to do what you can to keep the environmentally exploitative profit mongering going in the oil/coal industry you represent. My guess is you post similar blather in numerous other message boards as well.

> Another failed attempt, given the way that you have been utter ly ineffective in making an actual point, relying on simplistic caricatures to identify what you claim are examples of “falsifiability” while ignoring or dismissing those posts that disprove your claims.  
> In fact, while you might possibly believe yourself to have a point, your reversals and dances around the topic are beginning to lead me to believe that your “point” has more to do with keeping this thread active than actually engaging in honest debate.
> 
> Silly strawman arguments further demonstrate that you are doing nothing but playing games. No one has made any claim to “believe” either story and your implication that posters in this thread would make up their minds to believe one or the other without other outside references is nothing more than you creating an imaginary scenario for you to mock while pretending that posters had done what you claimed.

The climate twoofer is still playing games.
