Rodent + 1,424 October 4, 2019 in all fairness some alt-right group has claimed ownership of the staged baby-eating incident.

Brent Hamrick + 31 October 4, 2019 As for the joy of climate change I enjoy how our sky's have been in past years painted with perfectly straight lines from horizon to horizon. I miss seeing the sky writing lines from these marvelous winged modes of transportation. I've included a photo of the days gone bye missing the beautiful cotton ball looking straight lines. I miss them. I hate change Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s the third time you’ve used the term ‘ad hominems’, did you learn a new phrase yesterday and feel the need to share it with us repeatedly? The issue would also resolve itself if you would simply let us know your opininion on if there is any link between the El Nino phenomena and climate change or weather? On second thought, don’t bother. Your opinion has become ‘surplus to requirements’. And a happy ad hominem to you! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know what a category error is, and I get to observe it EVERY SINGLE DAY that the Climate Change "scientists" abuse the science. So you have undoubtedly observed enough AGW aficionados getting their arses handed to them by some variation of what Buckland said. Let's delve deeper shall we? The AGW "team" claimed the world was getting warmer based on "evidence" of computer models. Category error number one, models aren't "evidence", not even close. So after getting called out on that, they pointed to "temperature". Unfortunately the world didn't cooperate and the temperature AVERAGE worldwide was NOT INCREASING AT ALL, contrary to what the models said. Now, instead of using "temperature" they use "temperature anomaly numbers", based off an arbitrary value that never existed. One of the excuses for the cooling trend, in complete denial of the model predictions as CO2 kept climbing was, "la nina events". Therefore AGW caught yet again with their pants down, claiming their numbers were off because of a weather leading event. And so it goes. By all means continue with your imaginary superiority, it's amusing to watch. Everyone here with legitimate superiority (almost everyone here) is likewise amused.

Arguments need to be cogent so when you say "warmer based on "evidence" of computer models" you are actually talking about "representations, " thereby falling into the very fallacy of category error you claim to understand.

Weather makers from since man has been able to record weather and atmospheric anomalies. You can google it but what I saw there was mostly left-wing crap! I still remember in the 70's a mini ice-age was about to happen. Soon as humankind project forecasts, they come apart as the weather is ever changing. Eat more beef!!!
