No, it was on YOUR part.

Stating random data points as a "refutation" or a "defense" of an idea is not simply randomly stated trivia, it was couched with words that gave it implication.

So, you've been caught. Apologize for the attempt, move on.

um.. yeah it is.. How can you people be so ignorant about basic history but expect us to take you seriously in regards to much more questionable issues?

Albert Einstein

Even though he loved academics, he disliked school and eventually dropped out of high school.

No, it doesn't.

And nobody gave him a pass.

You stated, as if fact, he is a hack journalist who has done no research.

That's two affirmative factual assertions.

For which you have no evidence or fact.

But, funny how you didn't use that standard just a few posts back. In fact, you quite obviously implied that just being 'scientist' was enough to make someone credible - and from the tenor of your posts - pretty much "infallible".



In reality, I watched a slightly longer than 30 minute video of Mr Coleman, where it becomes obvious he HAS quite extensively studied the genesis of the theory of AGW, and why the "science" isn't science and never will be.
Promoter? Sure, lots of people have been wrong about things they believe in. That is why when it comes to global warming, I prefer to rely on the information scientists learn from their research as fact rather than "promoters" and "deniers."

Well if you are wondering, I would accept research from a scientist over a hack journalist. That seems to be common sense.

Oh really, Coleman has extensively studied the genesis of the theory of AGW? Do you have a link to this research he has done? I would love to read up on it.

Yea, really guys, there is no such thing as climate change. I tell ya, it's all a giant conspiracy to raise your taxes and make Al Gore a King! I heard it on Glenn Beck just the other day!

Meanwhile, in the real world, where functionally literate adults live...

Coleman isnt here for me to question how he came to that conclusion, YOU ARE, therefore I'm asking you how you came to the conclusion he did no research..

You keep avoiding the question like the plague

I've been reading on this topic for some time. Coleman's statement is not new. He's been saying it for some time. The other statements in the OP are also correct. There is no current evidence of global warming. At this point in time, we are in the middle of a warm period. Temperatures this warm and warmer have been recorded previously in history. All the global warming claims come as a result of climate computer models, which have all been incorrect, since they over estimated the temperatures we would be having this year.

Yet you and other members here haven't bothered to question Coleman....why is that?

He is a hack journalist because he is pretending to be a scientist without there being any proof of his research. Let me know when you find copies of Coleman's research.
