The comments on that one are fascinating.While the poor cannot heat their homes:

The "blue collar" chap who apparently has his own company that provides him with a Tesla because he can't afford yet to buy one for himself (yep, that's a tricky one to work out) seems to have no clue about reality at all. Difficult to believe he is real. Must be someone trying wind people up.
So, this country is pretty crap, right? Anyone fancy heading to Canada?

i think you will find it is the observations that do not support the "science" . i was going to link a recent summary from judith curry published by the gwpf highlighting some of the main issues with the "science",modeling in particular, but then i know you won't read it,so i didn't bother .
Actually I don't mind Judith Curry or the GWPF. They raise some sensible points and are not the shameless propaganda that usually passes for a source here.
But again, this comes back to the basic question of who do we believe. Why do you believe the analysis on Judith Curry you're referring to over all others?

I have firsthand experience of this - just over ten years ago I hiked up a glacier, and the bit I was on has now gone. There were markers to show the rate of retreat showing how it had sped up in recent decades.
you are aware that is what glaciers do ? they grow some, then melt some according to the prevailing climate of the time. can you tell me what made the glaciers retreat thousands of years ago to make greenland habitable by the people of the day ? the fact that those glaciers recede uncovering human artefacts ,trees etc is a fairly big clue it is nothing new.turbobloke said:
In one way it really is appreciated, so thanks for the latest personal attack style attention - it supports my view that true belief has nothing better to offer.
Indeed. I've been saying that quite consistently for some time. e.g.

As for this, I'm amazed you had the balls to post it
turbobloke said:
Let's see...Point 1.
turbobloke said:
Not being capable of powering a western civilisation with hospitals and universities as well as shops and factories is a damning indictment.
Point 3.turbobloke said:
Meanwhile freezing pensioners burn books to keep warm.
Point 5.turbobloke said:
Even before they're toast, they're harmful and not just becuase they kill thousands of birds and bats - the Board of Health in Brown County, Wisconsin, declared a local industrial wind plant to be a human health hazard. This was the first ruling of its kind in the USA.
Point 7.turbobloke said:
As to sources being happy or throwing hissy fits about data presentation, what a hoot. Maybe there are some concerns over grant funding in future, and more nasty emails from The Team, who knows / who cares / doesn't matter anyway.
Point 8.turbobloke said:
Anything that came back, if indeed anything ever went out to those dozens of authors (we have no compelling evidence either way) would inevitably have been along the lines of Dr Roy Spencer who has said of agw "I believe but cannot prove". That's what and where agw is: belief with no available proof.
Point 9.turbobloke said:
Would that be one of the polls covered by the green blob alert machine which emails activists to get them to vote in online polls?
Point 12.turbobloke said:
...As already pointed out, putting heads above the parapet, and advertising the fact, can be very dangerous for careers and grant funding, and there are often fudge statements in conclusions to leave the door open to plausible denial because of this. That's also been commented on before now.
(context: waffly response when found to be misrepresenting science papers)The useful thing about your replies being so generic and repetitive is that I only had to go back a couple of pages to find these.
I'm sure we could find better examples and fully populate the list countless times, but I think the point is obvious.

Hardly a "personal attack" It happens to be a fact!! e.g.

At what point do we assume durbster has lost the plot?
Did Captain Gullible ever have the plot? powerstroke said:
Not sure !! but posts seem to contain more lashing out than engagement with the enemy these days,
and we do seem to be on the brink of toy throwing perhaps
