Science or silence? My battle to question doomsayers about the Great Barrier Reef : Comments

By Peter Ridd, published 12/2/2018

The reef is supposedly almost dead from the combined effects of a warming climate, nutrient pollution from Australian farms, and smothering sediment from offshore dredging.

My last remark to Agronomist on this thread” I ask you again for a reference to any science showing a measurable human effect on climate. If as usual, you cannot supply it, I would say that makes you a dill, as well as a fraud supporter.

As usual with fraud promoters, like Agronomist, once they have cornered themselves wit heir dishonesty, they disappear.
We have seen this tactic before, from Steele Reduux, a climate fraud supporter, who disappeared from the thread when questioned about his baseless dishonesty in his support of the climate fraud.

You really are a dill Leo Lane. This is a thread about the health or otherwise of the reef. A side issue I addressed was curmudgeonathome's false claim that Universities make money from research grants.

But you are an idee fixe poster. You have to weave your nonsense about human activities having no impact on the climate into every thread. Some of us have better things to do than try and explain the science over and over again to your completely closed mind. No doubt you will use your masterstroke and pull out the Oregon Petition again - or maybe start citing Anthony Cox on the matter.

I don't think that's a false claim. That's exactly what it's all about.

What dishonest assertions you make. Show me where I have made any such assertion.
I have asked fraud supporters, like yourself, to direct us to any science which shows a measurable human effect on climate. You are unable to do so, because there is no such science. You have no science. Show one instance of you “explaining the science”
You have no science to explain. As Professor Bob Carter said some years ago:” It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct
from natural variation."
That remains the situation.
Dishonesty will not sustain you, Agronomist, you have sunk yourself.

It is indeed a false claim. Universities lose money on research grants, because the funding provided by Governments doesn't cover the true cost of doing research.

Consultancies and contract research are different where the University can recoup the additional costs from the sponsor.

Leo Lane claims "What dishonest assertions you make. Show me where I have made any such assertion." and then goes on to make precisely that assertion. Some people are just fools.
