That’s a vicious lie, FX is chock full of science. He is sick of global warming because “science bitches!” Haven’t you learned that yet?
Agree. That’s why it’s funny when you ask them a simple reasonable question which they cannot answer after a few minutes of frantic Googling on Skepticalscience or Realclimate.
In my opinion, you can blame them for doubling down on their ignorance and arrogant stupidity when it’s politely pointed out to them. Which is the normal reaction.
Yeah, but when you use logic and reason, and you stay calm, they just run away at some point. Like in this other topic, when I started asking direct questions about the following post.
When it got to the point where there was no choice but answer, the topic went cold. No response.
It happens pretty much anytime you get somebody to the point where if they answer, they know there is a good chance they will sound like an insane person. Some psychological mechanism kicks in, and they just get quiet.
Not GIGO or wolfpup of course, they long ago passed the point of no return. But most people realize at some point, they are either arguing with an idiot, or they are the idiot.
It’s ok, Masty. We really do still love you.
Here: this post is my little way of paying you the attention you’re so desperate for. See? All love.
One thing about comedy, is that not everyone is going to laugh about the same thing. The assumption that your view of irony, or humor, is the only correct one, and that anyone laughing at you must be seriously wrong about what is funny, that is both ironic, and terribly amusing.
No, it’s not funny to you. It’s funny to me! And as Mel Brooks said, "Tragedy is when I cut my finger; comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die”.
Most of us understand that they are debating honestly, with facts to back them up, while others – well, you, actually – debate dishonestly, and deliberately distort the facts.
You fall into the sewer, and we’ll vote on how funny it is. (I think he’d fuck up even as simple a joke as that.)
Oh yeah. Try asking them what the theory of global warming is.
Or what the predictions are.
Honesty is the last thing you will get.
A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
Shakespeare
That’s the funniest shit I’ve read all day.
More likely they just decide not to feed the troll any more.
Yeah, but it gets even better.
That could be possible, but the troll wasn’t responding at that point. After the obvious troll (or it could be a Poe), I asked a simple question.
When that was avoided, I asked it so there was no way to wiggle out of it.
The question still stands.
Do you agree with that claim?
“Climate-change denial is, at best, criminally-negligent homicide.”
The ironic humor is, that some people don’t see that claim as trolling, stupid or actually insane, if it’s serious.
But asking you to answer if you agree with it, that is trolling.
Priceless.
Yet another benefit of the Pit, no need to start a dozen topics about all the different fuckhead AGW issues, nor is there any need to actually read anything.
I guess I’m going to have to explain one of the long running jokes here, since nobody, and I mean nobody seems to read links. The SCIENCE! is from the email mentioned above.
Now both sides in the climate wars seem to be complete idiots when it comes to the climategate emails. The true believer won’t read them, because they already know there is nothing in them, and the deniers only focus on the part they care of don’t care about, missing out on the Science(!) completely.
But the actual science being discussed in them, it’s priceless. You just don’t get to peer into the inner workings of the top researchers in a field very often. (like, never)
These emails are an actual treasure trove of science discussions, covering most of the most contentious subjects involved in global warming. For example
Of course most people TEGO and they can’t fathom actually reading that, and understanding what it means. (these are the same people who will argue forever online, but would never spend a month doing any study)
Myself, I find climategate a very educational subject. Ignore the obvious bad behavaior, the skullfuckery and deceptions you come across. Focus on the Science(!) and spin.
My people in Maine are bitching about the record early snow. I told them to suck it up, it’s Maine after all. And just because you get record early snow, that actually just means things are warming up.
Cooling is the new warming.
I sincerely hope, with all due respect, that people don’t continue to feed this idiot troll’s need for constant negative attention.
You have to enjoy the sheer insanity of the climate alarmists mental state. In that strange fuckhead world, it’s OK to claim “talking about climate” is the same as killing people. Or to claim linking to scientific data pages, is the same as “criminally-negligent homicide”.
The ratshit insane alarmists can’t actually see how they appear to rational people. So instead of, you know, actually discussing something, they say stupid shit. But it’s the lack of response from all the other people, who simply won’t touch it, won’t even acjnowledge it, that’s where it gets creepy fucking weird.
Oh yeah, you really think it’s dishonest to ask clear straightforward question.
Because you have a fuckhead, on the straightdope forum, making a ratshit crazy as fuck claim, but that doesn’t actually even get a response.
But mocking such rabid pestilence, that’s trolling.
It’s too ironic.
But it just won’t matter. It will not make any difference. People will say the most insane shit, they make up stuff, and no matter how much evidence there is showing them to be idiots, it doesn’t stop them, hell, it doesn’t even slow them down.
Here’s a bit of science, from Jana Sillmann *et al *2014
http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/9/6/064023/
If you have been following at all for the last year and half, you already know what that means, which is good because that isn’t fucking clear at all to most people. Most people can read the money shot at the end and not get it at all.
In essence, it means the colder trend for NH winters seems to be the actual fucking goddamn reason the annual mean isn’t rising.
In other words, the much colder winters, are so fucking cold, it brings the entire annual mean down. Spring and summer didn’t stop warming, that is obvious from the data. Just like it’s obvious from the data that NH winters got a lot fucking colder.
You add the two together, and you get a yearly mean that looks flat, or slightly cooling. But in reality, the warming didn’t stop, it’s just that the winters got fucking cold, and by adding the entire year together, to get the “annual value”, it makes it look like the warming stopped, or “paused”. (one reason why using the yearly mean isn’t a very good way to look at climate)
When it reality, it’s a major fucking climate change, no doubt about it at this point.
Not that facts like that will matter at all.
It’s been months now since anyone’s given the poor troll any solid food. He must be starving - it’s hilarious to see how desperate he’s getting for attention. Now he’s reduced to quoting himself and accusing other people of being trolls.
Here’s some more science! that will of course be seen as trolling by the fuckhead warmer. (Here’s a clue, I could give a fuck what they think)
Now that’s scientific talk, which goddamn scientists really need to stop doing, but good luck changing that monolithic society, it ain’t going to happen. I would explain what it means, but goddamn, that would be just more dishonesty, according to the fuckheads of the world.
Once again, I know exactly what that means, but fuck, will it matter?
And that explains it all.
OK not really, they didn’t explain shit. But at least they are suggesting (finally) that the goddamn cold might be the reason for the “pause” in the warming trend.
Science.
It beats the hell out of religion.
Shit, this link should have been in the preceding post. Full paper of Observed and simulated temperature extremes during the recent warming hiatus
