re: #162 Walter L. Newton

Yes, I agree, mentioning the IOP AGW denial in the same breath is a straw man.

That’s ridiculous, Walter. You’re distorting what I wrote, shamelessly.

You posted an attempt to deflect the blame away from energy industries. I responded that it’s very nice that Bechtel is funding renewable energy, but that it has nothing to do with the fact that the energy industries are funding anti-AGW propaganda.

At no time did I say or imply that the Institute of Physics is one of those groups. This is the very definition of a straw man argument — you’re attributing statements to me that I did not make. And that sucks.
