runner,

Wrap your grey matter around this.

"The most striking news from the ice was evidence that the level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere had risen and fallen more or less in time with the temperature."

Is it just me who's noticed this?

After the delicious irony of the global warming crowd being stranded in Copenhagen at COP15 due to snow storms, the subsequent COPs have been held in Cancun, Durban (in summer) and next Qatar.

I know it’s "just weather" bonmot but it made me giggle.

there you go joining the foot shooting Poi rot.

imajuliannutter,

That was in response to you informing article author, Jayden Holmes to "Grow up you are talking to adults here."

It occurred to me as mildly amusing that someone with the tag "imajulianutter" would highlight how "grown up" was his approach.....it wasn't a criticism pf pseudonymity in general.

Graham appears to be saying that if one chooses to use a pseudonym then one's opinion has less merit....perhaps he's right? However, considering that most on OLO use a pseudonym, I wonder what that says in general?

Poirot

More foot shooting.

Your explanation would hold some water if it was not the only time you have attacked my pseudonym because of my opinions.

But as usual you will continue to forget what you've said in the past and will attempt futhur futile and juvenile justifications.

Try a tot of consistancy and you might gain a little in integrity. ie 'man up'.

imajulianutter,

When all is said and done, we all choose our pseudonyms - and you appear to have set yourself up for the odd ribbing - and not just from me. Even the great Poirot is addressed in character often in relation to his comments....it's part of the deal.

My point on this thread goes to the heart of using pseudonymity at all - not just the type of pseudonym used and how vulnerable it is to frivolous criticism.

Btw...to keep on topic, Ian Plimer has just released a new book designed to dispossess schoolchildren of the notion that global warming may be more than a scam. John Howard was on hand to launch it....an "anti-warmist" manual, no less!
