Once again DaveScot completely misses the point of the recent cold year. It is exactly what was to be expected when polar and Greenland ice begins to melt in earnest. I tried to explain the physical chemistry of this to Dave but it is just like talking to a wall. The guy is a hopeless egomaniacal bully.

I repeat my prediction that by the end of this decade blowhard pontificators like Dave Scot/David Springer will be history. It couldn't happen to a nicer "blogbully." The real mystery is why he is tolerated at Uncommon Descent. I suspect it is fueled by fear of banishment. To link global warming alarmism to Darwinian mysticism is the bottom of even Springer's barrel.

Dembski should be ashamed of himself for associating with that pompous jerk.

I love it so!

What makes it doubly ironic is that the Southeast, as I type, is being ravaged by record high winds, unseasonable snow storms, flooding, tornados and golfball size hail. Congratulations to DaveScot/David Springer. Dead wrong again.

It is hard to believe isn't it?

I love it so!

Well John, you certainly have the game plan down cold. The earth is warming except when colder, it's getting drier except where it's getting wetter, storms are getting more intense except when they're less intense. Global warming explains everything, after the fact of course, just like neo-Darwinism explains everything after the fact. There's no arguing with people whose theory explains everything. Have a nice day and don't get buried in any global warming snowdrifts!

P.S. Our hail classifications get up to softball size. It's rare but it happens. Hailstorms have occurred all through recorded history. If you want to become slightly more informed (which I doubt you do) try reading this:

http://www.anti-hail.com/anti-hail_history.htm

P.P.S. We haven't had any nasty tornado outbreaks near me since the Jarrel outbreak 1997.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Texas_tornado_outbreak

It's been rather quiet since then although I finally witnessed a "rope" funnel cloud for myself in 2000.

http://www.volente.org/docs/funnel03172000.html

So when are the more intense hurricanes supposed to resume? After the global warming hotheads were silly enough to blame 2005 Katrina and Rita storms on global warming and predicted that was that start of more to come we've have two of the quietest Atlantic hurricane seasons on record. Stuff like that doesn't shake your confidence in the factual basis of global warming hysteria one little bit, does it? Of course it doesn't. Fanatics are like that.

I figured DaveScot/David Springer would surface here where I have no supporters rather than on my blog.

Dave, did you do my little experiment which I suggested for you? Of course you didn't. Bullies don't do experiments. They just pontificate and ban all those that might disagree with them. You bore me with your pompous arrogance and insulting tone.

You don't even realize tht it takes energy to melt ice and that energy has to come from somewhere. What kind of a scientist are you? You are no scientist at all and never will be. You are just another power crazed, insecure bully whose only joy in life is abusing those with whom he disagrees. Your tactics are the same as those of P.Z. Myers, Richard Dawkins' fans and Wesley Elsberry. The only difference is you are stupid enough to leave the security of your home base to make a fool of yourself somewhere else, in this case "brainstorms" forum where your comments will probably go unread anyway. They at least have the good sense to remain secure in their shabby intellectual ghettos among their cheering like minded sheep. You really should do the same.

I have just been readmitted at the blog below, thanks to the intervention of Evan Jones, something that would be inconceivable at most weblogs and forums including Uncommon Descent which you rule with an iron fist.

http://wattsupwiththat.wordpress.com/2008/02/27/now-this-is-interesting-pielke-on-dr-joanne-simpson/#comments

I recommend you read my message today at 16.49 in which I summrized my views on global warming and its causes. I assume it is still there but I can't be certain.

Now go back to doing what you do best, ruling Uncommon Descent and treating all those who disagree with you with the contempt for which are so famous. You bore me.

I love it so!

One of the threads on which I was commenting has been closed and I won't be surprised if this one will be too. "Blogbullies" are like that wherever one finds them. All they are interested in is CONTROL. Springer, Watts, Elsberry, Myers, Dembski, Moran - you name them - they are all the same. Who can attract the biggest herd, get the most hits, be the most popular; that is all that insecure ideologues can do. It is really rather sad. Thank God I don't suffer from that congenital malaise. I have actually come to enjoy being abused by intellectual trash and what it reveals about them.

I love it so!

#71 on this thread serves as an ongoing receptacle for insults that are being heaped upon me from various sources all of which are identified. I do not include defamations from anonymous cowards, only from those whose identity I am certain about. Be sure to check #71 out from time to time as the list grows daily.

I love it so!

This the most devastating disclosure of intellectual protectionism and bigotry I have ever encountered in my lifetime. Anthony Watts has twice deliberately and cynically refused to allow me to present a perfectly objective and impersonal alternative explanation for the recent drop in world temperature. As an alarmist, I am not allowed to speak on his forum, nor am I allowed to endorse the views of Tim Flannery, also an alarmist, which is all that was attempting to do.

Like Uncommon Descent, Pharyngula, After The Bar Closes, Panda's Thumb, RichardDawkins.net, EvC, ARN and many other "closed union shops," there is no room for dissent at Watts up with that? either.

It is hard to believe isn't it?

It doesn't get any better than this.

Being stifled from offering a dissenting opinion at Watts Up With That? is reminiscent of the conditions that DaveScot/David Springer imposed in order for me to return to Uncommon Descent. Among other things, I MUST NOT MENTION Global Warming. Naturally, I declined his invitation. Anthony Watts and DaveScot/David Springer are both web bullies. Only those who are insecure must resort to such tactics.

Imagine this folks. We are facing the greatest crisis in the history of mankind and neither Uncommon Descent nor Watts Up With That? will allow the matter to be discussed. That should alarm every thinking citizen. It is one thing to have armed camps opposing one another on the matter of our origins, but to stifle open discussion of our very survival is unthinkable. Yet that is exactly what we are witnessing.

I am not the only alarmist who has been ridiculed at Anthony Watts' weblog. So also with Tim Flannery, author of The Weather Makers, in my opinion the most significant and incisive treatment of the Global Warming crisis. Flannery is not only a fine naturalist and mammalogist, but a solid climatologist as well. I was amazed when I read his book to discover that we had reached identical conclusions concerning the future of our civilization. So it is not surprising that I should be his strong supporter. What is really frightening is to be forced to realize that an alarmist will simply not be tolerated either at Watts' forum or at Dembski's Uncommon Descent.

Here are some undeniable facts. Both poles are actively melting. So is the Greenland ice sheet. Glaciers are receding world wide. Precipitation amounts are increasing world wide. Devastating storms and violent temperature oscillations are becoming commonplace. World leaders are being vilified when they recognize the dangers we are facing.

I state without qualification that the one over riding factor causing these changes is the ever increasing concentration of atmospheric CO2. The Malankovitch cycles and sun spot cycles may be of some trivial significance at the present time but they are completely dwarfed by the CO2 effect. The Mauna Loa station in Hawaii tells the real story as does the unbiased testimony of some 3000 weather stations. The earth is facing a suicidal end for our civilization, a suicide which began only two centuries ago with the Industrial Revolution. That revolution permitted our numbers to increase one hundred fold, an impossible monoculture for the earth to sustain. That same revolution and the numbers and technology it has produced has poisoned our planet beyond repair. It will repair itself only after we are gone or our numbers have been drastically reduced, one or the other of which will, in my opinion, occur before the end of this century.

I join with Tim Flannery as rational voices in a politically driven wilderness which has no place in science. I regard those who would stifle dissent on this most critical matter as irresponsible intellectual criminals.

I will end this harangue with the words of Tim Flannery for whom I have the greatest respect.

"There is one impact that results from global warming, however, that is unobtrusively manifesting itself and is being felt on all continents approximately equally: All of them are shrinking. This is because, courtesy of heat and melting ice, the oceans are expanding.

Is this a threat to humanity? Let's see how far the waters will rise, and at what speed."
The Weather Makers, page 141

"And so there has been little reason for our blindness, except perhaps an unwillingness to look such horror in the face and say. 'You are my creation.'"
page 210

It is hard to believe isn't it?

My comment, just presented, summarizes my interpretation of the currently cool year and why it is only a transient phenomenon.

"Mankind fiddles while earth burns"

or more appropriately -

"Mankind fiddled while earth burned."

I hear that John Coleman, founder of The Weather Channel, plans to sue Al Gore. That is wonderful news at will bring the Global Warming Crisis to the forefront where it belongs. Personally, I feel he has about as much chance as (to use a weather analogy) a "snowball in hell."

I love it so!

I see DaveScot/David Springer, like a Chihuahua with his little bone, remains oblivious to the reality that surrounds us as the two major greenhouse gases, CO2 and H2O vapor continue daily, even hourly, to climb upward, spawning tornados, ice storms, blizzards and increased global precipitation generally. A tornado just ravaged Atlanta Georgia. That is just the beginning of a devastatimg spring and summer season. Trust me, but of course you won't. That is the way it was destined to be, the way it was "prescribed" to be.

"Mankind fiddled while earth burned."
John A. Davison

I no longer use the present tense as it is much too late to do anything about it.

Don't say Tim Flannery and John A. Davison didn't warn you. Why do you think they twice shut me down at Watts Up With That? It is the same reason that DaveScot/David Springer has twice done the same at Uncommon Descent. Pontificating blowhards are the same wherever they are found, which seems to be just about everywhere in cyberdumb. The only difference is that I am still allowed to speak at Watts Up With That? But for how much longer and on which threads? I'll let you know.

"The applause of a single human being is of great consequence."
Samuel Johnson

I am that single human being as nearly as I can ascertain. Tim Flannery stands head and shoulders above those who denigrate him. So do I!
