I have no understanding how you are interpreting my comments, and I am having difficulty understanding your responses. All I can say is that your comment about my position is incorrect.

Ah, so again, as always, this thread becomes a discussion about how you "feel" about things.
At least you are consistent in your radical relativism.

I almost never give as my initial response on an issue my"feelings" , and I did not do that here. I have my "feelings" and you have yours, so what?!?

Oddly enough, this demonstrates to me only further that you've lost your objectivity on the issue, but more broadly on the entire situation.

Then what are the "rules of football" what is "advance climate science"? You presented a trap question based on il defined, non-compatible concepts with no true objective measure and then you drew an erroneous conclusion from an answer you did not take the time to understand. I see this clearly, just as I see problems with this "advance climate science" that has been settled in the minds of some people.
But getting back to your original point a thought came to mind over the weekend. In the form of an analogy to music. We can have people with accredited degrees in music but that does not make those people any more or less qualified to to understand or predict what music will create certain emotional responses in the hearts and mind of the general public, it is possible that all that they really understand is the impact of music of the past has had, and may be incapable of applying that knowledge to the future, just like a "climate scientist". You don't need a degree in music to understand and or to make great music. In fact some of my favorite artists did not even read sheet music. I think you should revisit your thoughts on this issue.
