I have, multiple times.
No, you have provided links to huge volumes of data, studies, etc., and then waited for ME to look up your "proof" somewhere in that pile, apparently expecting ME to prove for you that YOU are right.

It's the typical dodge for a big-govt manmade-climate-change fanatic who can't find the proof himself (because it isn't there).

Do you call them "little" when they try to hold a conversation with you?
No, I do that when they keep dodging the subject and/or offering excuses (as you do) instead of answering the question.

Quote:
If so, how does that work out for you?
Fine for me. But the leftist manmade-climate-change fanatic keeps looking like a fool.

Quote:
Our conversation has been one sided.
You can say that again. but as long as you and your ilk keep fibbing, ducking, dodging, and changing the subject, I'll keep pointing out that you are doing so, and keep bringing the conversation BACK to the subject. Sorry it looks "one-sided" to you.

Quote:
It's awfully...annoying to say the least.
Try reading your own links for a change... for what is not there, not just for what you think (or wish) is there.

I do wish that city-data still had the block user feature but I can't seem to find it.
Look right next to the part of your links that actually prove a link between man's activities and climate change.

Scientifically, my theory is probably more verifiable than AGW.

Considering that zero percent of scientists would agree that humans have an insignificant impact on the planet, I don't think you'd have a whole lot of support. And again, using the word "theory" to describe your opinion would probably anger the scientists further.

Theory does not equal fact. Theory is that humans are causing the earth to heat up.

Fact: the earth heats and cools periodically.

Reality: these claims are not mutually exclusive. Both can be true and the evidence shows that both are true.

Science deals in theory. Maybe you want the "religious faith" section of the board.

Actually, science deals in observations. The theories only come up in an attempt to explain those observations.
