The Climate Change Deniers Who Used To Deny Dangers Of Tobacco

We can't afford to take a chance, sorry.

You seem to continue to fail to understand clearly written English. Let me bold it for you, so you won't miss it. GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE CHANGES YOU THINK ARE NEEDED

This way, we are not waiting. We are not "taking the chance." I personally think you are trying to achieve political, social and economic change through fear, and the "good science" you keep touting is not, actually, good science. I think it's biased, politically motivated conclusions based on picking a desired outcome and then finding enough evidence to convince the public that the outcome is needed.

I said in the beginning that there are cycles that were apparent that effected the temperature. That we have been warming at a slow rate since before we began getting good measurements, and that the claim that the warming before 1950 was "mostly natural" and the warming after 1979 being "all man-made" is a conclusions that was made before all of the evidence was in.

Now, we're seeing a repeat of the pattern that I said existed the whole time, which suppresses the warming signal for a time, and enhances the warming signal during other times. You and others have said that I had zero "scientific evidence* of this, even though several scientists have written papers saying just that. So, now, your own sainted Climate Scientists are saying that ocean cycles are suppressing the warming, and after the suppressing phase of the cycle is over, the reverse of the cycle will then enhance the surface warming.

But, hey, I'm the one "denying good science." You are perfect in your understanding, and I'm always wrong according to you. Bite me.

Right now, warming is proceeding at half the "central estimate" and at less than a third of the "high estimate" of 4.5º per century. I've never said that there is no warming, that AGW is "not real," or that there is "no threat." But, you continue to support those who use fear as a tool to change political behavior. You want to instill extreme fear in people. Another word for this is terror.

You call those who doubt the extreme end of the projections "deniers," and claim that we "deny good science." You use terror to try to achieve your political goals. You know what we call those who use terror to achieve political goals? Terrorists.

You have a nice, day.
