re: #368 ludwigvanquixote

Whatever Ludwig, I notice that you refused to acknowledge your second mistake in comment #7 in which you condemned me for something I didn’t say.

Then you launch into a screed, the only thing that matters is we are all doomed.

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.

The fact is, you owe me an apology, you called me a liar without justification, and you condemned me for yet another charge #7 that I did not make. I patiently detailed these and you just ignore them.

So in other words, accuracy doesn’t matter, facts don’t matter, the only thing important is the “lives are at stake.” So it is impossible to even concede a minor point such as that enriched CO2 could grow bigger plants under some circumstances, or that a certain video animator may not be making the best points.

The most important thing to you is just focus on the impending and certain disaster, silence all questions and concerns and tolerate zero dissent. The point is the message you say, the intent, never mind the details or the accuracy. A bit like the “fake but accurate” excuse. Good luck with that. I doubt you’ll win over as many converts with that attitude as you would with reasonable discussion.
