Dear Josephus,

You are talking about weather. This is more indicative of a change in climate.

If people aren't concerned about AGW being a threat then don't worry about it.

Time will prove who is right or wrong.

For me I don't really care because as an environmental sociologist my role is that of studying people in their relationship to the environment.

Leave you guys to argue about it from here on in.

It will be interesting to follow what happens.

And I promise not to tell you "I told yo so."

Yes, good that's fine.

So we're agreed that you cannot establish the justification of any climate policy by any method of reason i.e. one not based on logial fallacies, such as ad honinem, beggng the question, and appeal to authority. In other words, it's an irrational superstition and you agree now.

That's all I wanted to point out, so thanks for conceding the general issue.

SR, So Climate is not weather, Then the winds and hot drought last year that fanned fires is not evidence of climate change, though many Global warmists claim it was. Even as the extreme cold and rain is not a change in climate. They are just one of events, though they have similar cycles over hundreds of years.

Dear Josephus,

Well that bloke was probably the most wackiest nut job you have put up on this forum and that is saying something. Mate, you really need to dial it back, it can't be good for your mental health.

And please don't compare a cold snap in Montana with the successive years of record heat and dry spells across much of Eastern Australia or the fast declining sea ice extent in the Arctic circle year after year after year.
