IsailedawayfromFR you are wasting your time trying to communicate with Suppressed. He behaves like a deeply ignorant person who believes himself to be a genius. For instance, he stated that I "obviously didn't understand the topic". Really? Do tell.
If we would speak of a lack of understanding, what would we say of Suppressed, who clearly doesn't understand how the mechanism of radiative forcing in regard to atmospheric carbon concentrations theoretically functions, nor does he understand that the effect if any, would be logarithmic, not exponential. That is not opinion. That is scientific fact.
We would have to furthermore speak of the fact that Suppressed does not understand that the average carbon dioxide level of the atmosphere was ten times higher in the period of the deepest cooling on the planet, nor how that refutes the entire premise of radiative downward forcing by carbon concentration. He denies the reality that every single prediction of temperature increase based on the notion of carbon-driven radiative forcing has been proven blatantly incorrect.
Suppressed does not acknowledge impartial scientific studies which clearly indicate that any net effects of increase in average atmospheric global temperature will be strongly positive (better crop yields, less crop failures, increased growth of rain forestation, less human death from exposure to freezing temperatures) for many decades to come. He does not acknowledge that virtually every major so-called "study" presented as "evidence" of AGW being supposedly real, have been soundly debunked by scientists who have no connection whatsoever to any group with any vested interest in anything but reality.
Suppressed furthermore does not acknowledge that the endless flood of false, fudged, contrived, distorted, obscured, badly-gathered, out-and-out fabricated data trying to support the idiotic notion of AGW, has given many very normal, ethical people legitimate reluctance to believe a single word that comes out of the mouths of anyone claiming authority to present objective data in support of AGW.
In short the number of things that Suppressed has not said but should have said, far outnumbers the things he has said most of which are bogged down in endless minutiae and tangential, peripheral digressions from the central points presented, which he swats away desperately with technical jargon and irate vituperation like a Sudanese grocery vendor swatting at flies on a hot afternoon.
There is no positive value to trying to communicate with anyone whose ability to be forthright, responsive or politely candid is so horribly suppressed. Instead of conversation we are subjected to an endless retreat into assumed offense, petulant, plaintive cowardly refusals to answer direct questions in an understandable, non-technical way, combined with a habit of rescripting screed vomit that is as common on any AGW proponent website, as rat droppings in a sewer.
This person uses words as munitions, not primarily tools of communication to exchange thoughts, information or opinions. He presents facts with the intention of obfuscating reality, not clarifying it. He is either unable or unwilling to discuss the entire issue of AGW intelligently and so is unworthy of serious, well-considered, thoughtful responses but only of the sort of ignoring and contempt he has repeatedly shown to other posters, including myself, who have attempted to engage him in substantive exchanges on this thread- and failed because of his relentless, evasive, arrogant ignorant mendacity. His contempt for either reciprocity of response to query or for the principle of communicating in an understandable, forthright manner which invites everyone to participate, not just those who understand the technical minutiae of physical geographical science, is demonstrated in virtually every annoying, evasive post.
