Bug and all the rest. I came in here with an open mind, but none of you have been able to accurately debate your views.

Sorry but I am going to have to go to the light side.

Your stuff just does not make good sense.

The facts are right there in the interview.

Jones asked him over and over again to explain why he selectively used old data in his graphs when newer data was available, why he deliberately misinterpreted the work of the Danish scientists, and why his documentary was so riddled with errors that it had to be edited 4 times from its original version.

Durkin could not answer those questions. All he could do was complain about "aggressiveness" and make an unsupported claim that "the science doesn’t necessarily stack up"


Or look at another part of the interview:

TJ
By saying now in the graph you’ve left yourself open to the charge that you’ve deliberately misrepresented the graph and you’ve left out seventeen years of growing temperatures which don’t prove your point?

MD
But you know this is what they do, they’ll fix on something which is a moot
point, personally I still think it’s perfectly legitimate to refer to the late 20th
century as now, just as the IPCC did.


Another direct accusation of presenting incorrect evidence with no denial from Durkin that he didn't deliberately misrepresent the graph and leave out seventeen years of growing temperatures which didn't prove his point

Your answer is in bold. I'm sorry you can't accept that.

No - I don't consider that referring to 1990 as "now" and deliberately ignoring 17 years worth of data that did not support his argument is an acceptable answer. It is an answer which admits to deliberate presenting misinformation and dishonesty.

His documentary was dishonest and misleading.

You mean like the IPCC's hockey stick that eliminated the medieval warming period was misleading?

This discussion is over for me. You won't convince me the global warming isn't just another warming period that has happened dozens of times, or more over the last 54 million years and that the United Nations who have had as many scandals as the earth has had warming periods aren't in it for just the money. Time will tell us who is right, all I can hope for is the people that get fleeced are angry enough to string up the individuals responsible.

You're complaining because his documentary left out 17 years, up until the UN and the IPCC got involved, scientist around the world were generally in agreement that the warmest period we've had in the last 10,000 years was the medieval warming period which stretched from around 800 to around 1200. There is documented evidence which shows that this period was just as warm, if not warmer than what it is today, and yet, this has now changed since the IPCC got involved. Was there new evidence to support a change, no, it simply did not fit with their Global Warming BS, so they conveniently changed history so it would fit with their model.

You complain about him leaving out 17 years, while the IPCC has left out around 400 years.

List for us all, the top ten hottest years in terms of mean global surface temperature over the past 1000 years.

Provide a causal and/or physical explanation for these years of elevated global temperature.

Until you have completed these 2 tasks in public your credibility on the topic of Climate Change or global warming is very limited.

Isnt it Peabody?

Foolosophy, Another user private messaged me and told me you were here asking questions of me. You are on my ignore list, when I log on, this is all I see of your posts:

Foolosophy This user is on your Ignore List.

I choose not to engage you in discussion. The outcome of our encounters seems to be less than productive which is not beneficial to you, me or the forum itself. Thank you for your time.

And so another chapter of human history comes to an end.. With nearly 800 posts and 70+ pages, truly it was a thread for the gods! What fate will come of the world? Washed away in a sea of dark miserable eco-fear? or will the forces of good overcome that of evil?

After years mankind managed to defeat socialism.. truly the most evil thing of its time.. now after the dawn of a new millenium does man stand a chance of throwing Eco-hysteria into the dark pages of history?

im afraid only time will tell...
