What I have read, instead, is a lot of petty nasty sniping and potshots, most with a poorly disguised gloss of superiority. Why don't you spend your time more productively by finding some credible information that supports your overtly politicized position, and posting it here for us to read? Me thinks the problem is that you are having a hard time finding something.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Haha! Nice. tundraline's definition of "no substance" means, anything that he doesn't agree with. Nice. Haha! Then, you are right, I don't agree with you.
Need I remind you (oh yeah I guess I do...) I provided the following information:
Multiple sources of many scientists that don't believe the hype:

Hmmm! Not sure where you got this one.tundraline wrote:BTW, I'm neither a Republican nor a Democrat, so your neat little vision of the world being split into red and blue camps doesn't work.
You must have gotten it from my "overtly politicized position" - YOUR WORDS. Find ANYWHERE that I've posted my political position please!
You kind of MADE THAT ONE UP MAN!
Then you should understand that data analysis skills are independant of knowledge on any particular topic. The author that Covrider was quoting was obviously a data analysis wiz, and gave appropriate disclaimers to their expertise in climate change. Assuming that the data is from a good source, then the analysis is valid. You immediately jumped to the disclaimer and proclaimed, "Look, he is no expert!!!"tundraline wrote:FWIW, I am also quite confident that my understanding of scientific data and its analysis is substantially deeper than yours. On that basis, I therefore place you in the category of those who "just don't understand" data analysis and modeling. But you might be able to prove me wrong. Please have at it.
