All of you couldn't be more wrong about me. As a matter of fact (and I have said this many times) I no longer debate whether or not the world is warming, cooling, or remaining exactly the same.
Likewise I have noted many times, the argument is moot. Collectively, humanity has decided to pump and burn all the oil, then dig and burn all the coal. What any of you think or say about this decision is completely meaningless.
What I most strongly object to is the attitude of intolerance and the outright abuse of those who hold differing political views than do the majority of members at PO.com. I personally do not share the majority opinion that carbon dioxide is forcing climate change, nor am I a Democrat.
What I am is unaligned politically, and deeply suspicious of politicians who seek any excuse - be it war, climate change, or anything else, to curtail our personal freedoms. I also feel contempt for anybody who has to stroke his own feeble intellect by hiding in the majority opinion on a large, complex, and ultimately indeterminate issue such as AGW/CC.
Because even if we do have a warming globe, we are possibly as much as 2900 years from the Climatic Optimum in this interglacial, and - if past "derived" temperatures are to be believed, about 3 degrees C below the typical peak CO temperature. I understand that is a very different world than the one we live in, but I also think it is both natural and survivable.
By contrast I DO NOT think that the end of cheap oil is survivable - simply because there will be war - nuclear war.
My last comment about Evans and his model: The man knows more about mathematics than the lot of you, and his numbers work. He has never claimed to be a climate scientist, and still doesn't. He created and offers a model that works - none others do, even those created by groups of the "ninety-seven-percenters". Anyone with basic computer skills, who knows his way around a spreadsheet, can confirm this for himself.
Of course, most of you will not know what to think until somebody posts a link to a paper in a respected journal. Evans has never published such, nor has anyone with the proper credentials ever disputed his model.
Which in the end has nothing whatsoever to do with being correct or incorrect. The world is full of climate scientists, and apparently 97% of them agree on everything under the sun, but cannot duplicate the success of Evans and his model.
Now THINK ABOUT THAT.
