Thread Name: BS: Where's the Global Warming
Subject: RE: BS: Where's the Global Warming
"Now you object"..." I don't object to hearing your opinion. I dispute some of its content!

As to: "The IPCC produces key scientific material...."etc... Yes, they DO produce such material. YOU keep posting stuff claiming to show that certain members **OF** the IPCC are overzealous and may have fudged 'some' data...etc.

You didn't bother to cite your source for "The IPCC produces key scientific material ...", but it wasn't hard to find. It is from a talk by Dr. Pachauri, in 2007 at the Nobel award to Gore. You have said that you do not trust Dr. Pachauri's conclusions or his use of data. I wouldn't imagine you would agree with such a wide-sweeping statement which, out of context, feels like a pretty self-serving statement about his own group. I'm not going to believe everything self-serving Bill Gates says about Microsoft, but they do do a lot of high quality stuff! The IPCC **IS** more than Pachauri....

You continue to try to discredit an entire scientific hypothesis by making references to claimed problems with some of its adherents. There are classic logical fallacies associated with that type of reasoning.
Several of us who have debated you here have posted data and links to data that support the overall idea that global climate change, including incremental warming, is happening, and that human activity is partially responsible, and that we should take measures to combat it.

If you wish to directly dispute this, I'll listen...but ad hominem remarks about individuals don't accomplish this.
