Mr Opinion. "I am not in a position to provide evidence. I am not a scientist and therefore not qualified to test the information and conclusions of the scientific community but I do recognise the scientific community as the authority on science."

So you are merely appealing to authority Mr Opinion.

Well some of us are not. I spent 4 months working on restoring the math I had when doing my BSC. After the Climategate emails gave me much doubt, I became annoyed that I was being taken for a sucker, just as you are.

With my math now able to follow the stories, it became obvious quite quickly that the whole thing was basically a pack of garbage, with the merest smidgeon of fact as an incredible shaky foundation.

Since then I have seen ever more ridiculous garbage published in support of the fallacy. When some clown bursts into print claiming CO2 will make fish left hands, & the scientific community does not shoot it down immediately, it is impossible not so see the fraud, if one is looking with open eyes.

Claim what ever you like old boy, but don't claim you have any idea of what you are talking about, if you don't do the work to actually understand the subject. Appeals to authority are pretty useless in this day & age.

Dear Hasbeen,

Have you published your findings and have they been tested by the scientific community?

Dear Hasbeen,

You don't come across to me has having a science degree. Or do you mean Bachelor of Santa Claus when you say your BSC? The way you express yourself and the things you say are not what I would expect from a science grad.

When my kids were very little, I used to read them kids books, one of the most favourd being 'All Flowers are Red'. The premise of the book was a kid having come to believe ...ahem...all flowers were red. So it had mum showing him pictures of a meadow of flowers of, say, yellow, but one red flower in the midst. The kid would always see the red but not the yellow. The book was just a way to teach colours to infants.

Here we have Mr O who professes to believe that there is " a universal acknowledgement of [AGW] and its consequential climate change." Universal?

Yet within this very thread we have shown him scientists who don't think the increasing temperatures are caused by CO2. I've invited O, to comment on those scientists but he refuses to even acknowledge their existence. And for him they don't exist. Universal, remember?

Yet these papers and scientists do exist and in numbers that would astound O. The website 'NoTricks' started counting all papers they saw which specifically disputed aspects of the consensus. For 2018 they got to something like 600 papers. Last I looked they were around the same figure just for the first half of 2019.

Now I'm not saying all those papers are right or that they disprove AGW. But the very existence of sceptic papers and sceptic scientists utterly disproves Mr Os daffy ideas that there is universal belief in AGW in the scientific community.

To make matters even worse for poor old Mr O, even when members of the scientific community do accept AGW their level of belief differs. Some think man is partially to blame but at low levels. Others think man is largely to blame but that the danger is minor or manageable. Still others think there isn't enough data to decide anything yet and that its way too early to be making decisions about uprooting society.

That is, the flowers aren't all red. And they aren't just red or yellow. There's a plethora of colours and many flowers are multi-coloured.

Universal? What a dill.

Dear mhaze,

Looks like you might have a Bachelor of Santa Claus degree as well.
