No need to make a new thread as watchwolf49 has decided to jump to the defense of a cherry picker and conspiracy believer FXMastermind.

Over at Great Debates the guy does not know when to keep things on the pit and when to take them over the Great Debates. He is laughable even at the meta level, and he pretends here that what was said elsewhere and the use of denier sources by FX means nothing. He really has his smart radar broken.

Whether his intent, he only succeeds in killing every thread about climate change. I’ve noticed this is the last one, so that’s why he’s here, looking for the bogey man denying global warming. On a regular basis, his are fully half the postings whenever this subject comes up. Frankly, I’m sick of having to scroll through pages and pages just to keep a single topic in discussion.

People that do not realize that being ignorant on a subject is not really an insult are really dumb. Just a continuation of what everyone else that does not have their anti-jerk/anti-ignorant radar working properly. As a poster of this thread said early about watchwolf49:
