How dumb do you have to be to follow the opinions of someone who refuses to follow the scientific method?
Oh jeez. You can't even stick with a simple topic.
Ugh.

How dumb do you have to be to follow the opinions of someone who refuses to follow the scientific method?
Dumb enough not answer my two simple questions I asked this fake scientist:
POST 117
"What is the proxy data resolution of Tree rings from the paper?
How can Tree Rings measure snowfall when it is dormant?"
=====
Her/Him reply at post 118:
"-Yawn-"
My reply POST 120
Yeah, those reasonable questions are too much for you then, sleep well.
The turds next evasion at POST 139
"Ummm, yeah, your questions are always insightful and deep. Sorry I didn't give it the respect it "deserved".
My reply POST 146:
"Translation: I do not know the answers to easy questions because I don't know how to find them.
This was too easy"
The asshole then deflects further by asking me questions at POST 148:
"Then show me mathematically why the resolution details would make a significant issue.
(Don't worry, I know you won't, that's not your game)."
My Reply at POST 153:
LOL you expect me to answer your questions when you HABITUALLY ignore my questions.
You are ducking because you don't have the answer to easy questions and comically you don't even realize that I put you on the spot with those easy questions in the first place making a fool of you in front of the public reading and see YOU avoid easy to answer questions.
The hypocrite replies at POST 154:
"LOL. (I knew you couldn't)."
The turd who never answered my two simple questions has the gall to say I couldn't answer questions after he spends time making 4 evasive replies to these two easy to answer questions:
What is the proxy data resolution of Tree rings from the paper?
How can Tree Rings measure snowfall when it is dormant?
It is obvious the turd doesn't know.
This is a low-level thinking warmist/alarmist GOOK eating turd who shows NO evidence of real science training who often acts like a child and avoids questions posed by several members in various threads and gets schooled by several who have OBVIOUS science training and research career.
LOLOL. Like you have a clue what your question actually means.
If you did you'd tell me why your question even MATTERS. LOL. I don't answer your question because I don't know that it matters.
Ball's in your court (but everyone knows you won't answer it).
LOL.
Lindzen is not an ‘outlier’ (except to Pravda) and consensus is not science, it’s politics.Not really. I noted that if laypeople are faced with a choice of which science to go with they should stick with the consensus. We lack the skill to side with a minority opinion.
Never said Lindzen wasn’t just that he is an outlier in the field.
Nope

You sure laugh a lot when it isn't appropriate.
You MUST be insane.
It's not a problem only for dumbasses who understand nothing about science.. A graph of actual temperatures is not comparable to a temperatures inferred from tree rings. They also are not "clearly marked." The chart is propaganda, not science.Not really a problem. Especially when the different methods are clearly marked as such (as they are on the HOckey Stick).
But more to the point I guess I don't really know what the problem is. If a proxy outputs a temperature estimate in degC why can't it be compared with a different method which also measures temperature in degC?
ROFL! I doubt it.When you say "error probabilities" it sounds like you are just throwing out random sciencey-sounding words. I say that as someone who works with statistics a lot.
They aren't two proxies, moron. One is a proxy and the other is an actual measurement.I think you are just handwaving. OF COURSE there's going to be different errors, but that doesn't mean you can't possibly compare two proxies!
This is the "divergence problem" in some arctic trees. But there's a lot of good tree ring proxy info that stands up.
God just STOP IT! No one is calling you DUMB. Read what I'm actually SAYING!!!!!!!
How would you know whether it's "worthless." By your own concession, you're too stupid to evaluate claims about science.What I am saying and have said is YOUR OPINION ON SCIENCE WHICH YOU HAVE NO BACKGROUND IN IS EXACTLY WORTHLESS. That doesn't mean you are DUMB.
My point is and will remain (regardless of how dumb you actually are) that when you are unfamiliar with an area of expertise it is IRRATIONAL for you to side with the minority opinion that area of expertise.
I understand that your point is the wrong.How dumb does one have to be to NOT understand this simple point?
Let's see...based on your reply to this one.
Basically that's exactly what you're saying: the voters are too stupid to evaluate what scientists claim.
How would you know whether it's "worthless."
By your own concession, you're too stupid to evaluate claims about science.
Even if 99% of all the experts agree on a claim, it only takes one man with facts and logic to prove it wrong.
It doesn't matter whether I have some official title or not. Credentials do not prove you are correct. Being in the majority doesn't prove you are right. Those are two logical fallacies: appeal to authority and appeal to popularity. You claim to be a "scientists," but you employ logical fallacies in your arguments.I'm saying that are NOT SUFFICIENTLY EDUCATED IN THAT AREA.
Jeez you guys can't argue rationally.
Around the turn of the century there was a man who said the continents moved. All the expert geologists laughed at him.BY DEFINITION. Let's say I had an opinion that gasoline powered cars actually had a leprechaun in them that turned the gears, but I've never looked under a car hood. Would my "skepticism" of "internal combustion" be worth anything?
You're an ideologue. Your opinions have nothing to do with science. You have even admitted as much.Well, I am a scientist, so not necessarily so. But in the case of climate science (which is not my primary area) I will gladly admit that I am insufficiently skilled in this area to make significant claims against the majority view.
Why do you think YOU are able to "prove it wrong"? Are you educated in this area? Or are you more likely to just be wrong yourself?

I've looked at the evidence. I even posted some of it in this thread. You simply ignored it.
Do you think we need to spend $76 trillion to save the leprechauns?

I wish someone could explain this to you. Apparently you are of the opinion that you are able to do anything. You are wrong. There are things you DO NOT know how to do. Sorry to be the one to break it to you.
And, indeed, Wegner was wrong. Yes the continental PLATES move, but Wegner's "Continental Drift" hypothesis was foundationally wrong. He didn't have a mechanism for how they would move (he proposed things like gravitational tides etc.) and he didn't really know the structure of the plates. The ONLY thing he knew was that fossils on either side of the Atlantic as well as physical features matched up.
Plate Tectonics is the RIGHT answer, not Continental Drift. Continental drift was an important first step but it was ultimately a failed hypothesis because it failed to accurately explain what was really going on.
My position is: Go with the experts and go with the majority of the experts unless I know better.
This is why I don't gamble in Las Vegas (betting against the house) and it's why I don't side with flat earthers.
I doubt very highly that you have the expertise to interpret said evidence.
Well, let's put it this way: whatever you do for a living, I bet I do it better. Prove me wrong.
No, you are a pseudo scientist at best.
Wegner was correct.
Plate tectonics is the engine FOR continental drift.
Now, let's test your so called scientist claim, who postulated the actual mechanism of plate tectonics?
No, I can't do anything, but one thing I can do is spot bad arguments. Arguments that rely on logical fallacies are automatically invalid. Your inability to commit logic is why you don't understand that.I wish someone could explain this to you. Apparently you are of the opinion that you are able to do anything. You are wrong. There are things you DO NOT know how to do. Sorry to be the one to break it to you.
No, Wagner was not wrong. He was certainly more right than the so-called experts who laughed at him. All you're whining about is the fact that didn't have all the details worked out. However the basic premise of his theory was correct, and still is correct: Continents move. They are not fixed in place.And, indeed, Wegner was wrong. Yes the continental PLATES move, but Wegner's "Continental Drift" hypothesis was foundationally wrong. He didn't have a mechanism for how they would move (he proposed things like gravitational tides etc.) and he didn't really know the structure of the plates.

Your position is a logical fallacy. You repeat it stupidly because you lack the capacity to commit logicMy position is: Go with the experts and go with the majority of the experts unless I know better.

He's one of those dumbasses who mindlessly regurgitates the "follow the science" mantra when he obviously doesn't understand the first thing about science.No, you are a pseudo scientist at best.
