By Julian Cribb, published 5/11/2012American climate science is quite clear: Superstorm Sandy was not a freak occurrence but the forerunner of many such events, and worse.

What I hate about minimifidianists (though I love the six "I"s) is their stilted scepticism; the way they reduce a noble station to a species of petty equivocating. As if their "scepticism" was based in anything unbiased or demonstrable. As if they were more than callous little conservatives, wretchedly devoted to a slavish mentality. As if there can be any equivocating about the scale of environmental destruction the human "race" is embarked upon. As if the capitalist juggernaut was defensible in all other respects bar the "innuendos" brought against it by the quaking scientific community--"attempts to prop up our belief by the endorsement of the politician, or the patronizing certificate of the minimifidian man of science"--who are equivocators themselves in their refusal to tell the bald truth about the proposed "action on climate change", endlessly deferred in any case until "the economy picks up". Hilarious! Economic growth is the problem and can never be the cure. As if we didn't all know from history, and our intimate experience with the world, that you can't just dump your sh!t in the streets, the river, or the atmosphere indefinitely without, at the very least, its having a noisome effect. As if their lying, duplicitous sophistries were legitimate in anything but populist rhetoric. That's the minimifidianist--the so-called sceptic!

Geez, there are some weirdos here; Squeers takes the cake; what sanctimonious claptrap; misanthropy is misanthropy no matter how many sesquipedalisms you use to dress up your pretensions.
AGW has been disproved; it is a failed theory; and the likes of the Climate Commission and its guns for hire mouthing the usual alarmism won't change that. And neither will petty little articles like this. Posted by cohenite, Tuesday, 6 November 2012 7:39:16 PM

<<Geez, there are some weirdos here>>
I hope that's the case - better that than deliberate attempt to make us stop wasting our time here and quit this thread in disgust. A similar attempt to chase away opponents is by positing that "AGW is no longer in serious doubt": Does anyone, after reading this thread, still doubt that there are those among us who doubt AGW? Otherwise, claiming that AGW is [in doubt but] not in SERIOUS doubt is logically equivalent to claiming that those here who do not believe in AGW are not serious people, an ad-hominem attack.

Every so-called bit of proof of AGW has been lied about or exaggerated in some way; take the latest canard, that Hurricane Sandy was due to AGW. The Climate Commission claimed that Sandy was made worse due to warming Sea Surface Temperatures over the area covered by Sandy:
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/breaking-news/sandy-worsened-by-climate-change-report/story-fn3dxiwe-1226509537406 This is a complete lie: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/11/05/an-inconvenient-truth-sea-surface-temperature-anomalies-along-sandys-track-havent-warmed-in-70-years/#comment-1137128 Posted by cohenite, Tuesday, 6 November 2012 8:25:35 PM

Thanks cohenite. I was going to mention the facts about Sandy & water temperature.
It is this wild grabbing at any disaster, & trying to twist them to claim it's all CO2 really proves the fact that the warmists have nothing to support their theory. Unfortunately when bare faced lies like the claim that ocean temperature caused the damage are the stock in trade of warmists, we are left with just 2 possible assumptions. One that they are so stupid they can't do the research to find the facts, or two, they know that the AGW is disproved, but will lie & cheat to try to keep it alive The fact that any one can pull up this information themselves with just a click of a mouse leaves the supporters with no where to go. If they look at it, it proves their heroes are liars. If they don't it proves they all ready know that, but don't want to confirm the fact. If any of our warmests want to be taken seriously again, they must face this evidence, & answer the charge against their heroes. When I asked, in a thread how such a mild cyclone could do such damage, one fool suggested I was trying to play down warming as the reason. I guess it runs with the point of view.

It has always been in serious doubt because it has no scientific backing for its assertion.
I asked you again for any science which backs the assertion of AGW, and again you fail to supply it.
I know that you cannot, because there is no scientific basis for it.
It is fraudulent to assert AGW, Steven, and you continue to do so.
Repeating the lie, as you do, in the belief that a lie repeated often enough, becomes accepted as the truth, has been shown, in the case of AGW, not to work.
As the polls show, more and more people are becoming aware of the fraud.
Remember when you had people fooled, and the fraud backers published polls all the time?
No polls these days, to show what losers the fraud backers are.
