Best just to post the same thing again Roger. This particular stupid's
stance is that he knows the answers and no-one else in climate science
does. That makes him a prime stupid who has a special chair in the
stupid seats.

If the world ends up with 2C+ (always "if" from a sceptic) this
particular stupid will still be saying "show me proof".

Tell him to find a laboratory that is atmosphere sized and do the
measurements in that - oh! we have one. It's called planet earth and
all measurements show warming, all measurements show CO2 increasing
continually, all the physics shows that CO2's radiative properties
will cause atmospheric heating and this stupid still bleats for proof,
whilst saying that it simply *cannot* be CO2 until he has that proof.
That's delusion, not science.

The trouble is Denk (and the stupids) could be right. The other
trouble is that he's not a scientist, neither are they; so who would
you back to be correct?

The trouble with language and basic science is coming from you. Note
the conclusions of the article:

"We find differences in the spectra that point to long-term changes in
atmospheric CH4, CO2 and O3 as well as CFC-11 and CFC-12. Our results
provide direct experimental evidence for a significant increase in the
Earth's greenhouse effect that is consistent with concerns over
radiative forcing of climate."

Note that gases being considered include CH4, O3 as well as CFCs. I
have already noted that if there is an anthropogenic link to climate
change it is doubtless through things such as CH4 and CFCs and that
ALSO includes the link to they decline of phytoplankton based upon
Ozone degradation due to anthropogenic chemicals. Phytoplankton form
the very bottom rung of the food chain hence of great importance and
with dire consequences if disrupted.

But you can't really "sell" clean air, can you? So all you
propagandists keep pushing the lie that it is CO2 that needs to be
"cap and trade" controlled. So your plan is to get very rich, live
like kings for a few years, enjoy your wealth, and then die with the
rest of us when your incompetent leadership destroys the planet, when
you actually COULD have used these efforts to fix some of these
problems instead of making yourselves rich.

I really don't think that we, the rest of your victims, should allow
you to get away with this scam.

What is being "forced" here is the conclusion that everyone's energy
bills need to be doubled to port money to you and yours.

No need to drag out that old Video of the "climate science
appreciation" class for non-science majors planning on being on the
IPCC someday. Lots of nonsense things get said in classrooms in
"major universities". Proves nothing but that politics exists inside
as well as outside universities.

Ain't it great once you've got the leadership of a major organization
in your pocket?

The propaganda then knows no limits. I wonder why the membership isn't
smart enough to figure out the way they've been scammed by their
trusted leaders? The whole of science is getting a black eye by these
guys and the physics sheep don't have a clue. Since AIP wishes to now
engage in politics instead of science, I wonder why they've never
polled their membership on "AGW"? Think they are afraid of the
opinions they'd get?

You are telling a prize stupid Tom; he won't get it, I can assure you.

Easily fooled, are you?
