re: #364 Bagua

This is what you said that pissed everyone off in #15

My points were not disputed on that thread, as I said, Sinclair was correct in that he was debunking false assertions, but his examples were also cherry picked. (The one I am referring to was the CO2 is food one)

You once again, paint things as something they are not, while attempting to sound like the wounded reasonable one.

You seem to completely miss the point so I will make it again as clearly as I can.

The entire issue of AGW is very serious business. Lives are at stake because of it. Human lives, in the hundreds of millions for certain (and perhaps billions) are at stake (though we are also looking at mass extinctions involving many species). The science is vastly more clear about these things than you imagine.

That is the truth. You would discredit that truth. Whenever someone says something clearly about how dire the actual situations is, when backed by the science, you get slimy in your language. You call it hysterical and alarmist and any number of other things like cherry picking in this case. That discredits the truth. That risks people getting killed.

This is what I am referring to and why you keep getting dings. I stopped caring about however you wish to reframe this perhaps ten posts ago. The only one all over the place is you.

Another tact of yours is to get hyper pedantic and say all kinds of distracting crap. The point of the last thread was that climate change will destroy crops and plantlife. There are many mechanisms by which this will happen, though direct CO2 related ones are also discussed in those links. If you really want to confine it to just beetles there are more papers about that too.
