re: #1115 doppelganglander

I don’t think you’re interested in dialog at all on this topic. You are convinced you are the smartest person in the room and you know everything there is to know about AGW. Bagua and others have repeatedly pointed out how condescending you sound. Your response usually is something like, “I’m not condescending, you’re just too stupid to understand what I’m saying.” (I’m paraphrasing, here.)

Frankly, I think you are more interested in being the Official Global Warming Guy of LGF, as evidenced by the way you introduced the topic today: you want to write a “troll hammer” for AGW. Maybe you envision yourself enshrined on the left sidebar next to Nekama and Tilly. I don’t know or care who you are. You could be peer reviewed by the Pope for all I care. I just find you very arrogant and condescending on this subject and you will never persuade a person whom you have just insulted.

No, I am convinced that I am the only one in the room with advanced degrees in physics who actually knows what he is talking about.

There is no dialogue in science. There is no other side. There is no evenhanded. You either look at the facts and analyse them or you are talking crap.

What offends me is the notion that the crap and opinions of others is somehow the equal of hard data and years of actually learning and doing science.

I spent years working on learning and doing science. That means when I bring you hard data and I tell you what the science world is saying, you don’t get to presume to tell me what is what. I tell you.

If you find flaws in my science, then you need to bring your own hard data to dispute me.

I am sorry that you find the idea that a Phd in physics might actually know more than you about issues of science than others who do not have science degrees, but that is the reality of it. I can’t help your arrogance. Cry me a river.
