Thanks for the thanks, Poirot - much appreciated, I could have spent time elsewhere.

Interestingly, I see a similar fake sceptic argument show up here:

Looks like Ross at Comment 28 is of the same ilk as Geoffrey.

They just don't want to believe what they just don't want to believe, regardless of what the science reveals.

Unfortunately, Rhonda Jambe (the author) can't 'whack the mole' - and I've got whackers elbow :(

Seeya

Should have mentioned "that graph" at comment 24, looks familiar LOL

Looks like Ross and Geoffrey are traveling the same anti-science road-show, eh.

qanda,

Actuuuaalllly...I think the "Ross" in question is our very own "Arjay" - as in "RJ".

A glance at comment 6 here http://www.ambitgambit.com/2013/01/14/gun-buyback-falls-victim-to-the-cobra-effect/ I think confirms my suspicions.

Fascinating isn't it : )

Dear Poirot,

qanda has made it quite clear he has done with me, and I am happy with that situation.

You posted a reference that intrigues me. The thesis is that the warming caused by CO2 over the last 16 years has been swallowed up by increasing the Ocean Heat Content (OHC) rather than increasing the average atmospheric temp. Your study looks at the rise in OHC from 0 to 700 M and from 0 to 2000 M.

I would like to know what the percentage of the volume of the total ocean volume is this sample?

You see, if we could see the total OHC for ALL the ocean we could be confident that the thesis of this paper is correct. In isolation, this paper contributes absolutely NOTHING to your argument.

Would you care to comment on the reference you offer in defence of your science?

Regards,

Geoffrey Kelley, Mount Eliza

PS: qanda, would you care to comment, or will you leave your mate Poirot to hang out to dry?

Oh puh-lease ... you're telling me ... you really mean ... oh come now ... no ... NO ... NNOOOOO!!

Really ??

(had lots more ?'s and !'s but had to remove them to continue :)

So, it all comes down to a conspiratorial communist plot to over-throw the world as we know it!

(had more lots more !'s but had to remove them to continue :)

Ok, roger-that Poirot - now you're really tweaking your whiskers!

Hoodathunk, now it's all starting to fit into place.

Looked under your bed lately - commos, conservos, capitos, CCC's, whatever ?!

ROFLMHO

Somebody owes me a keyboard!

You are a fake, Mr Geoffrey Kelley from Mount Eliza.

A simple plain old grumpy stuck-in-the-mud, hypocritical past-it political ideologue.

You ask for references yet you can't give them yourself. Ask "your girls" Geoffrey.

You might say you are a real scientist, Mr Geoffrey Kelley from Mount Eliza ... but everyone now knows you are not.
