re: #353 Bagua

It is astonishing how much you back down when forced to actually state your case…

So in his six minute video, he does not have the time perhaps to quote the dozens of studies on such things or the many ecosystems negatively affected by such things… He chose only a few representative examples.

You really only said that you would like more examples… OK

Yet your statement here was that he cherry picked. You are the one doing the distortions. It got old a while ago. Had you asked nicely, I would have gladly given you references.

Try this from PNAS sited over 200 times

pnas.org

Despite the coarse scale of the analysis, species from mountains could be seen to be disproportionably sensitive to climate change (≈60% species loss). The boreal region was projected to lose few species, although gaining many others from immigration. The greatest changes are expected in the transition between the Mediterranean and Euro-Siberian regions. We found that risks of extinction for European plants may be large, even in moderate scenarios of climate change and despite inter-model variability.

or this sited over 400 times reviews many different species.

Also look at this from NIH

arjournals.annualreviews.org

And this again from PNAS

pnas.org

Why not give these a look before claiming that Sinclair is cherry picking and continuing to use your rather slimy language of warmist and alarmist and so forth.

You really have no idea how well we scientists actually know this field or just how certain we really are.

If you would ask questions rather than being insulting then perhaps we could get somewhere. I repeat to you. The one whose tone is consistently exaggerated is yours.

The effects of this, the KNOWN effects of this are vastly worse than you give credit to. Hundreds of millions of people really are facing death from the effects of AGW. We really are causing it. There really is the evidence for it. It really is true.

Do not go and tell me about how you don’t think there is certainty. There is plenty of certainty. This is for real. Next time you think a story is incomplete please ask. Or here is a truly radical idea, consider using google scholar yourself. Look at some papers on your own, and then save yourself from making ignorant remarks.

Next time you call something completely true, fanatical or alarmist or cherry picked or any of your other common derisive terms I promise I will come down on you like a ton of bricks. There are lives at stake. No one has the time for you discrediting the truth.
