Well let me know when the hack journalist, Coleman, proves he is right. I am sure he has been doing lots of scientific research.

Let me know when you get your hands on Coleman's research, I would love to read it. I am sure he uses a great combination of crayons.

Hardly a talking point, it is quite shocking the number of people who don't know the difference between the two.

The AGW quotes non scientists, and non climate scientists all the time.


if someone agrees with the AGW agenda, that's good. If someone disagrees or is not an approved climate scientist, that is bad.

Bill James was never a professional baseball player, so what would know about baseball. Never mind that his original research has change not only our understanding of the game, but the game itself.

Seem to me that since climate science is nothing more that running data through a computer model, it should not surprise anyone that any dedicated research could analyze the data and come up with alternative interpretations.

If you are going to cite scientific research, then again answer why scientific researched FUDGED the numbers to get the conclusion of global warming when just a few decades it was an oncoming ice age..

YOU are the one stating he's wrong, so clearly you have researched the issue so please provide us with your report.

If you didn't believe it mattered, you would not bother to attack him.

Oh it very well is nothing but a talking point just like global cooling turned to global warming to now climate change..

I dont think ANYONE disputes climate changes, one would have to be a complete moron to do, its the THEORIES behind it being questioned.

So cite for us your research on the topic stating he is wrong..

Is AGW an organization? I can't comment for others, but I prefer to get my information from actual scientists.

If you think a journalist can qualify as a scientist in your book, then I don't know what to tell you.

I never cited any scientific research, not sure what you are even talking about. Coleman is a journalist, all he has given is his opinion, not actual research.

So I can't comment on a thread now because I don't believe what a hack journalist has to say about science?
