Climate change is pretty "ho-hum" except for a few diehards who are still waxing hysterical.
On a lighter note:

But Cynic. When you you put up posts that try to say we need to produce more CO2 to keep the extra humans and animals happy you are slaughtering a thousand scientific facts without a beat.
...
The logical soundness of my assertions regarding an increased CO2 presence being essential for supporting the respiratory needs of our increasing populace are well supported by long standing scientific understandings which are being taught as scientific facts at high school level.
basilio, it would be most foolish for you or your peers to presume that you can lecture me on scientific facts!
I've yet to see any of the "thousand scientific facts" that you claim I am "slaughtering" with my CO2 requirements assertion!
(That's right! I was forgetting! Some believe science is confined to google searching opinion supportive articles!)
bump
bumpity bump.
Cynic your views on why we need to artificially produce more CO2 are too way out there for me to want to engage you in discussion.
When you went on to say that the Max Planck institute didn't know what it was talking about with regard to the Theory Of Relativity I just gave up.
basilio, since when did mammalian respiration become an artificial process?
You've accused me of "slaughtering a thousand scientific facts" with my CO2 observation whilst failing to provide so much as a single one of these purported "facts".
The fact that you do not understand the mathematics behind Einstein's theorem is hardly a valid (or logical) justification for your refusal to substantiate your hasty and misinformed accusations!
If you're willing to make accusations on a public forum, then it is reasonable to expect to be called upon for justification!
Around we go again!
bump.
bumpity bump.
bumpity bump bump.
What a load of rubbish... Don't feel personally attacked there Wayne. I was just noting that using anything Monckton produced as part of a credible argument on CC is a joke.
And why is it a joke? Because as I pointed out and evidenced he just lies, cheery picks and BS.
His "specific objective point "is just another example of his cherry picking dribble. Did you notice for example his efforts to show that almost no climate scientists actually explicitly support GW? Does anyone actually think that is true ? You wouldn't want to ask them directly of course would you because you might get the truth.
As for the line on "pathological liars and borderline criminals" in CC science? Typical cheap shot. But of course you don't want to give names or quote examples. Far easier and safer to slag the lot isn't it ?
Just for interest there is a court case coming up soon where the people like you who have defamed climate scientists are being sued for libel/slander. They will be brought before the law to prove their allegations. I am so looking forward to this case.
For myself I don't use the term liar and deceiver lightly. I reserve it for particular specimens like Monckton whose work has been forensically dissected. I would be absolutely confident that court of law reviewing what he says and the basis he uses for those statement would support assertions of lies and deception.
Mount Kelud has erupted spewing volcanic ash and Co2 into the atmosphere. BAD. Virgin Airlines have cancelled all their flights to Bali til further notice. (therefore no Co2 from planes) GOOD. Does one cancel out the other?
... power lines and trees down ...
After all we only have a few years left to live so why spoil it worrying about stuff that will only affect our spoilt kids and even more spoilt grandkids. Lets kick up our heels and party like it's 1999.
Cheers
Bill Nye Science Guy to Debate GOP Rep Gohmert on Gravity

David Gregory’s Meet the Press today hosted a debate between Bill Nye the Science Guy and Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) on whether gravity is just a theory.
“Sure,” Gohmert said, “things fall down all the time. But that doesn’t mean gravity is a law. Look at the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It’s still there after hundreds of years. Things don’t always fall down.”
Nye pointed out that Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravity in the 17th century and it is settled science.
Gohmert challenged Nye’s certainty. “The cultists who tout science always speak as though we know for sure that scientific discoveries are true. Gravity has only been theorized for a couple hundred years. It’s too early to tell. How much money do they want us to waste on suspension bridges and other expensive technology aimed at keeping things from falling down, on the basis of a theory?”
Nye tore off his bow-tie and began chewing on it in frustration.
“Wasn’t it an apple that hit Newton on the head?” Gohmert asked. “Well, I’ve read the Bible and I know that an apple was used to tempt Eve. Maybe the Serpent was just tempting Newton with a secular humanist theory.”
Nye said, “What?”
“Besides,” Gohmert went on, “we all saw that movie ‘Gravity.’ Obviously there’s no gravity in outer space. So if the theory doesn’t work everywhere, there must be something wrong with it.”
“The law of gravity says,” Nye replied, “that ‘any two bodies in the universe attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.’ Gravity works in deep outer space, it is just that bodies there are distant from the earth. And in ‘Gravity’ they were just falling around the earth, in the grip of its gravity.”
Moderator David Gregory smirked. “That’s a lot of verbiage there, Bill. If you can’t explain something clearly, maybe it’s because there’s something wrong with the theory.”
Gohmert angrily interrupted Gregory. “Besides, we all know that Muslims believe in gravity. That should make you suspicious of it, right there.”
Got my electrickery bill the other day and it was over $700 for the first time ... $67 of it was CARBON TAX !!! ... nasty carbon dioxide ...
Good to see that true skeptics (you know who you are!!) are keeping science and the media honest and making sure we don't waste hard earned tax payers dollars on unnecessary public works.
Just saw this report on a debate between scientist Bill Nye and GOP Rep Gohmert.

What has this got to do with the debate on climate change?
Basilio is referring to the power of distortion and confusion.
It has everything to do with the debate on climate change. The tactics are to confuse the evidence and the debate to AN HYSTERICAL level, Wayno ole pal
It appears basilio is hoist by his own petard then.
