    Jem keeps trying to equate the exception with the rule and use it as an operating principle despite overwhelming empirical evidence to the contrary. Jem is special.

    So IOW...I'm right and you won't admit it.

  3. Nonsense. One can only say that out of ignorance, NOT reasonably because the lag times are minuscule compared to the cycle lengths. Not to mention this is an accepted fact and there are several hypothesized reasons for it.

    You're like the energizer bunny of daft that just keeps on giving and giving.

    I suggest you continue your discourse with someone who is your intellectual equal. A potato, perhaps. Or Trader666. Either/or. And then there's always jem...

    The assumption here is that a short lag time is more "causative" than a longer one. Fits Occam's Razor, but is it necessarily true?

    Anyway, God started this with the creation of plants which, when they began emitting CO2, started the warming.

    Ricter, would you agree that Trader666 is a useful idiot for Big Oil? Also, how would you characterize the Right's response to this thread thus far? Consistent with the underlying premise of the thread? And since such responses have been fairly representative of the type of responses typical of this contingent, did I possibly exaggerate? Please advise.

    I'm trying to refrain from ad hominem arguing.

    Yes, the responses are typical (for here).

    That's certainly not causing Trader666 to refrain from sending an ad hominem or two your way, is it?

    Very well then. Do you think Trader666 a useful pawn for Big Oil?

  9. You're obfuscating and given the premise of this "thread" you're also showing your hypocrisy.

    I gave two examples of YOUR ignorance of climate change... the first was your ignorance of how melting ice can affect ocean currents and cause cooling http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3411641#post3411641 and the second was your nonsensical claim here that "since it's a cycle, one can just as reasonably say that CO2 precedes warming."

    Don't smear others and play "holier than thou" when you're the one with his head up his ass.

    Ok, this is far enough for me.
