Also, he's never satisfied with the way anyone "reads" what he writes - it looks like English but apparently it's some mysterious alter-version where only Dave knows the true meaning. Yeah, almost like I want people to back up with evidence when it's clear |

first of all: You completely mis-interpret my words, and take them to mean something they do not say. |
admit I might have responded a bit defensively.
You raise some excellent points. I don't really have any argument with
anything you said. It's possible that e.g. the storm measurement criteria
changed at various points in time, but I think it is equally possible that
the trends indicated by the data are still valid. If you look only at the
data since 1944, the data (for everything but named storms) does not look
as dramatically out of norm as the named-storm chart I referenced.
I think a number of sources indicate a very likely problem in many areas --
not absolute certainty of course, but a likely and disturbing trend. I
also think the kinds of responses that we should take IF those trends are
true (reducing wasteful energy usage, reducing pollution, etc), are
sensible responses to other issues (scarce energy sources, overpopulation,
ecological problems, etc). So it mystifies me why some people are so
resistant to even considering the possibility that there is a threat of
major climate change.

I have put the numbers from that page in a spreadsheet and made some nice graph of it. I want you to see it. |
basically the same graph.
Thanks for your sensible and reasoned comments!

Once again, I invite you to do your own research. At least you're nearing self-awareness. Let me guess - I've plonked you before and you've nym-shifted yet again, right? Aside from the fact that "plonking" is a habit of the truly lame, you're even lamer - because you claim to plonk people and never do. Let me repeat: what happened in the 70's is irrelevant. What is today, is. Riiiiight. So. One last try there sparky. Why should I believe this batch of idiots more than the batch of idiots 20 years ago? They both seem to have the same basic ideas, but with opposite results. What's the real deal, and why? Hint: if you respond with abuse, that weakens your credibility. Just so you know. Let me try one more time: what people said 20 years ago has no bearing on the scientific realities today. Continually claiming that it does really makes you look very foolish. |
