I wonder where Typhoon Meranti fits into mhaze's view about extreme weather.
It impacted on a Phillipines Island as a Force 5 storm; it has since moderated down to a Force 3-4. The Philippine Island was in the eye of the storm and it has been stated that winds were in the 185 miles per hour range. The Typhoon is said to have been the second strongest ever recorded; and suggestions have been made that a level 6 storm should be added to the classification of storms.

Well Max has finally jumped the shark. Not content with just fabricating stories about me copying from blogs or that I want to spend money on sea rise amelioration, he now decides I must be a moon landing denier etc etc.

When the uninformed alarmist are shown to be uninformed alarmists they always revert to the cherry-pick meme and the moon landing moron-osity.

Earlier I said "It'd be sad if it wasn't so comical."
Now its just sad.

Max Green,

Do you have a science degree and if so in what field?
Ducking and weaving or failure to answer will indicate you have none.

mhaze laughed at the suggestion that there were extreme weather events, and when I said extreme weather events were not funny, put up his cherrypicked quotes. Whether or not he just copied and pasted them from some denialist blogger we'll never *actually* know, but that he seemed completely ignorant of their *context* gives us a bit of a hint, doesn't it? ;-)

Sneer.

I correct.

Deny with cherrypicked quotes.

I correct with context.

Sneer.

Getting the pattern?

Just imagine all the broad acre farmland a thawed out tundra will provide and all the $billions saved in shipping by an ice free north west passage.

Just imagine water wars, increased drought and famine across the USA, the Amazon drying out, 30% species extinction by 2050, farming wars, 100 million refugees on the move, increased flooding in some regions, crops lost to increased heat stress, killer heatwaves that wipe out tropical populations due to 'wet bulb' temperatures being above what the human body can dissipate, Australia moving from becoming a desert surrounded by a skid mark of green to a skid mark of ash, global sea water rising and rising and rolling our cities back across the world... and the world marching on those last few green farm belts, demanding them for their own.

Sounds like paradise.
