This, from you, without a trace of irony.

Well done.

Not going to answer then? Probably wise.
Yeah, you’ve stumped him and the rest of us with that one whilst simultaneously bringing down the whole precarious house of cards that AGW is built on.

Back to the drawing board for the tens of thousands of Scientics and all of the Institutions they work for. frown

Realistically you are simply showing your sub optimal IQ level and inability to follow logical conclusions with such comments.

And you’re not with your inane question that has been asked many times before?

What exactly is your question?

If it’s do I believe everything the government tell me? Then the answer is no.

The point put to you was for any deception to work, most if not all governments and scientific bodies and media etc would all have to be in on this lie. Which I think we can all agree is unlikely isn’t it?

That’s why your question was stupid.

For somebody with an "optimal IQ" you'd think he could work out where his question would inevitably lead.

He must have skipped breakfast this morning.

So, whilst you accept (rightly of course) that a Govt will lie not least in order to control, you consider that scientific bodies will never lie? And the press? That is your logical conclusion? I see.

No again.

The logical conclusion is that for the kind of mass deception you seem to be hinting at to succeed and a false scientific consensus to exist. All the scientific bodies and governments and media and scientists would have to be in on it.

This would clearly be conspiracy theory madness.

I see. So you can accept that all the scientific institutions and Govt of the world lied then? But they can't now? How very interesting indeed.

Strawman

Answer his question.
He needs to play this game. Its the only one left. Argue in the margins.
Why would anyone read up on every scientific institutions position on just one aspect of AGW?

Does he think that you have to read every statement or paper published from every Government or Scientist or Science Institute or Science dept in every University?

Does he expect every single one to agree with every other one on every single thing?

The fact is that they do all appear to agree on base assumption that AGW is a fact.

It’s a question borne of desperation.
Still swerving I see.

So you claim something without verifying it is true? Are you seriously that guillble? That’s just intellectually lazy and indeed dangerous. You also make some interesting observations about the logical issues with the concept of a political consensus masquerading as a scientific one; you believe it to be one thing when the reality suggests otherwise.

I really do want to know whether you have even bothered to check the Academie des Science position on the pause that you deny exists. It is absolutely germane to this discussion since 1. You are misrepresenting their position and 2. using your argument who would you rather believe, Loony Tunes or a venerable institution on the matter whether the pause did or didn’t happen.

I hesitate to use the word troll, but I do think you are intellectually lazy, ovine, and guileless.

Not to conspiracy loons theorists. To them it’s entirely possible and to some it’s actually probable.

And do you know how they try to insert themselves into normal discourse?

They ask if you think Governments ever lie? wink

Oh you didn't know about the Sun issue? I suppose a lack of knowledge is unfortunate but now you know more.

Whilst I am loathe to refer to Wiki, this situation renders it the easiest option

I’m astonished that you’re using this as an argument to justify your conspiracy nonsense.

Unlike you apparently, we all know about Galileo. In fact we’re hoping Turbobloke can repeat the awesomeness of his historic scientific discovery but alas he seems unwilling to share his data and findings with the scientific community and therefore is unlikely to change the scientific consensus.

Hopes now lie with dickymint and wc98 and rob from Essex but despite having no scientific credentials whatsoever and actually no jobs, they too seem unwilling to publish their historic discovery and change the scientific consensus.

As an aside, perhaps if you check out the dates that Galileo lived and other things (like the facts) that were going on at the time and then ask yourself if events 500 years ago are really a good example to fuel your apparent belief of a global conspiracy involving most governments and scientific institutions and scientists and the media in today’s technologically advanced and connected world.

Yes indeed, the latest cult member is comparing the events around the time of Copernicus with the AGW consensus today.

A modern scientific consensus that is/was wrong...it has many similarities to climate science.

From The NY Times....

“With skeptical scientists ostracized, the public debate and research agenda became dominated by the fat-is-bad school. Later the National Institutes of Health would hold a “consensus conference” that concluded there was “no doubt” that low-fat diets “will afford significant protection against coronary heart disease” for every American over the age of 2.”

How apt...

“the low-fat recommendations were endorsed by 92 percent of “the world’s leading doctors.”

Settled science. What a crock of shi t.
