Why don't climate change deniers publish?

Once again, Google vomiting does not make a good argument.

Only the stratosphere is dry enough and with a long enough residence time (a few years) for the small anthropogenic inputs to be important but even there there are reports that it is not helping the contrarians either.

Really? Here are 291,000 scientific papers on water vapor feedback.

The problem with your original Google search is that in the statement “water vapor is a feedback loop” the word “loop” is redundant. Water vapor is a feedback. Period.

Of course water vapor is a GHG. No one disputes that. Just like no one in the legitimate scientific community disputes that it’s a feedback of rising temperatures.

LOL … in addition to the 291,000 scientific papers on water vapor feedback, I’m also happy to quote a textbook…

He’ll follow that statement around the Horn, and around the Norway maelstrom, and around perdition’s flames before he will give it up. Arr :slight_smile:

Seriously, climate-change denial is like anti-vaccine propaganda. Neither constitutes protected speech, because protected speech does not include killing people.

Both are, at best, criminally-negligent homicide.

Nice catch, I’ve always wondered if there was a connection to the “Nuke the Whales” campaign in that movie. I found a more contemporary statement of principle, the language is a little rough and it is humorous, so two-click rule applied:

… and they eat photoplankton.

There you have it dopers. Whatever the undefined “climate-change denial” is, it’s exactly like killing people.

If only it were so. PopSci journals publish based on what their readership is likely to read, legitimate journals publish based on author reputation. Climate change denier “scientists” don’t have a reputation within the academic research community. They are two separate groups of “scientists”; one with academic research cred and the other with popular folk science cred and contributions from groups who would like to perpetuate the idea that there is nothing to worry about polluting the air and water on the planet.

It’s funny, because most of the actual scientists who are critical of the fear mongering and pseudo-science of climate change, are very concerned about their world and pollution. The alarmists wants to paint all “enemies” with a wide tar brush.

…says the man painting all “enemies” with a wide tar brush.

I have no enemies. Just friends who haven’t realized how right I am.

Yet.
No seriously, someday we will be the best of friends.

Yeah, that’s not creepy at all.

It is actually. I was channeling Bart. Relax, it’s humor where I come from.

Meanwhile

Do you agree with that?

It’s an extreme interpretation of an imperfect analogy.

Way to avoid answering

Sorry - I forgot you only like answers simple enough for you to comprehend. Nonetheless, it’s both an answer and an accurate one. I neither wholly agree nor wholly disagree with the statement you present, for the reason I stated.

I suppose if you require a binary response I’ll say “disagree” due to the use of the word “exactly”, noting that that was added in your paraphrase of the original.

Let’s make it simple for you. Do you agree that “Climate-change denial is, at best, criminally-negligent homicide.”?

Do you agree wth the following?

How about this?

It’s a straight up set of questions.

Because if you agree, you are saying free speech should be stifled, and prison time is mandated for anyone who is “a climate denier”.

You think that is a sane statement?
