I don't believe droughts, floods and weather severity are a thing of my imagination. and when it occurs season after season, year after year, it must be evidence of a climate change having occurred. I'll leave the arguing to the unconvinced who are unable to see what is before their very eyes for what it is. Texas where you live Chris is a prime example of a distinct change in weather. I have quite a few friends down there and they tell me the fall and springtime weather has changed. Some fall outdoor events have been moved to the spring due to the change in weather patterns. It's not just the change in patterns but severity of the weather that is causing agriculture issues. There will come a point where it will become impossible to obtain crop insurance or property insurance for weather related losses. |

Mike, there's a difference between weather and climate change. Texas has been going through these cycles throughout recorded history. This is my second time through it, it teaches you want types plants to grow that will loast through these droughts. |

Come on Chris. Are you going to claim no one has argued (wrongly, apparently) that the earth has been cooling down since 1998? What is the mechanism driving the warming? |

Chris, if you had read the link I posted, you would have seen that it answers every single one of Curry's points with pure science. She has no "facts and logic" on her side at all. Any "ad homs" in Tamino's article are a result of the sheer Frustrations of dealing with the willfully ignorant. I sympathise with him. I have the same problem.

Of course the earth has been warming and cooling throughout time, that's what I meant by I didn't think that was the argument. |

Is this an example of "pure science": "I didn’t expect Judith Curry to embarrass herself more than she did with her fawning over Murry Salby’s folly. But she’s topped (perhaps I should say “bottomed”) herself by a huge margin." It came out of the article you posted, ad hom from start to finish. "Any "ad homs" in Tamino's article are a result of the sheer Frustrations of dealing with the willfully ignorant." No excuse. "Pure Science" doesn't engage in hom, pure BS does. Besides, Bruce, I didn't post an article by Curry, I posted one by James Delingpole who does present facts and logic and shows how statistical manipulation results in a false view of the facts.

Delingpole just copied Curry's mindless nonsense, which is actually a step up for him. He has never posted a proven fact in his life. In fact, he's so bad that REAL Climate Scientists use him a a yardstick now. "One Delingpole" is a standard Denier talking point that has been debunked so often it's becoming embarrassing even to Deniers. "Two Delingpoles" is a new talking point with not a shred of evidence behind it. "Three" is when a Denier takes real evidence and (deliberately?) misunderstands it. Curry's article is a rare breed, a Four Delingpole, where she contradicts the facts that she herself helped gather. Let's be clear: There is not a legitimate working Climate Scientist in the world outside of those with obvious financial or political agendas who Denies any major part of AGW. |

Just more ad hom. Let me know when you can counter Delingpole's facts, Bruce, yes, counter it with with your "Pure Science". |

Bumping the deception, cutting out the extraneous. Can anyone counter these facts? No ad hom obfuscation, please. |

I can't argue against your point Chris that the weather changes regularly and the earth has warmed and cooled in cycles. If we look at the dictionary definition of climate, the weather changes mark climate changes. cli·mate/ˈklīmit/ Noun: 1. The weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period. 2. A region with particular prevailing weather conditions. What were once prevailing patterns are no more, and new patterns are setting in. |
