    Again, that list is from a PDF linked to some random blog, how does anyone verify that those scientists even worked on that paper based on that?

    I have no interest in disputing random crap people put out when the source has no authenticity. Time is valuable to waste on such fake news.

    Well -- ignoring the scientists' own blogs/websites have listed the paper as one they worked and include links to it.

    Then link to the scientists' own blog and websites where this paper is listed, just quoting the fake paper again and again doesn't do that.

    I think this will be the case at least before the current century has ended. I have made comparisons between the devotion (this is the best word to describe it) to Hansen's hypothesis with a similar devotion to Lysenko's hypothesis in the Soviet Union and the belief in Eugenics in the Western Nations in the twentieth century. There is something going on with climate, there always is. Evidence against CO2 as the main cause, however, is building in the peer reviewed literature. And the often repeated untruth that there is 90%+ agreement on climate change is of course completely incorrect. Those actually working in and publishing in that area are quite divided in opinion, and the other opinions don't matter. I am a strong advocate for the Paris Climate Accord and for the development of alternative energy sources, but I believe CO2 as a significant driver of climate change has been rather thoroughly disproven at this point. I am in the Salby camp. I think he is correct in saying that Temperature is the independent variable and CO2 the dependent variable. That's consistent with both T-CO2 correlation and the phase relationship, whereas CO2 as the independent variable is consistent with correlation only; not with the phase data. There is a anthro contribution to atmospheric CO2, no question about that, but the half life assumed by the IPCC is at least one order too great. We now know the half life fairly accurately, and the initial guesses were way off. The fundamental problem is that all of these dire predictions have come from admittedly quite defective models of climate. I am a scientist, but not a climate scientist. I have learned through many years of personal experience that one should be extremely wary of jumping to conclusions when dealing with complex phenomena. The media and opinion poles are not a useful means of answering scientific questions.

    Ignoring what? When did you post links, you only cited the FAKE paper again and again after lying about it as 'peer reviewed'

    I did read previous posts where you said it was peer reviewed when it was not, is that what you are referring to?

    I never said it was peer reviewed - so you obviously did not read the posts.

    This makes good sense to me anyway. And I have to agree that the timing of this case being filed is suspicious in itself. On the other had Trump himself has made it easy for some of us to believe that the main charge is not as preposterous as it would be if the accused was not Donald Trump. The alleged event happened many years ago, so if in fact it did happen, it would not be unreasonable to find that details such as dates etc. are no longer accurately known. I suppose this is why we limit the time to bring suits.

    If you compare this to the Bill and Monica situation -- it is very different. With Bill and Monica there was a clear record of dates/times she visited the White House. There was an entire staff that was concerned with their close interactions and trying to actively keep them apart. There was physical evidence on a blue dress. Very different than the allegations made in the Trump lawsuit in terms of level of evidence.

    It is funny that back in the days of Kennedy if a "Monica" type of situation became public - it would be laughed off ("boys will be boys") and the public would not care. The reality back in JFK times was that there were well-known scandals that were politely ignored by the press and population.

    Move forward to the Clinton times - when the Monica thing came out they tried to impeach him. For something that would have been ignored in the 1960s.

    Now move forward to today - if something came out similar about Trump, he would furiously tweet about it and blame the intern. Congress would do nothing -- and America would spend weeks debating it along partisan lines in a manner ignoring the facts.

    What a strange world we have arrived at...
