The blogger was quoting a well qualified climate scientist...
Now that is just lying, son.
She was a right-wing politician from the Kokoomus Party.
I tell you what, I'll post the link, and if she isn't - you leave the board. Is that fair?
Sorry siagon, but it really does seem that you simply can't stop lying...about anything. Here is a link to the original post:

So exactly what was your complaint regarding professor Humlum's qualifications to make such an observation and statement.
You really should stop lying. You get caught in lie after lie after lie and continue to do it. What abnormal psychology prompts you to continue to lie after being caught so many times?
