    Sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about, IMHO. As I posted earlier, WUWT often publishes contrary viewpoints. It is virtually alone among climate sites to be so ecumenical.

    WUWT is NOT a climate site. It is a blog.

    And, it's run by a guy who has zero credentials in science and who picks the unreviewed, unpublished writings of outliers who he thinks support hs personal opinion - without any concern for whether the content has any scientific validity.

    One can only HOPE that it is alone in that kind of behavior.

    Yours is an ignorance-based post. Sorry.

    There was no ad hom. The reference was to your post, which clearly revealed your lack of knowledge of the topic.

    Then, there are Democrats like Harris, Como, Newsome and many other Loony Tune Leftists that believe the vaccines are Trump vaccines and won't work or be dangerous. So, they won't let their people have the vaccines. People are still dying from the virus and all the Democrats can do is play politics, ground the people with curfews, fines and jail time. If you have more than 2 families at your home for Thanksgiving and they don't wear masks, you can be fined or put in jail. But, if you march and riot that's okay. No fines or jail time. The solution is to hold a rally in your home on Thanksgiving for supporting the cow by eating more turkey and chicken. Democrats are nothing more than fascists dressed up as communists.

    Bingo! You pinpoint the problem: “Democrats like Harris, Como, Newsome and many other Loony Tune Leftists”, “Democrats are nothing more than fascists dressed up as communists” – so there is no point of discussing science. Maybe we should discuss about psychology of people of people who instead on concentrate of arguments and evidence concentrate on name calling?

    Will vaccine promoted by Trump will work? This is a good question, but the answer to this question you supplied is: “Democrats like Harris, Como, Newsome and many other Loony Tune Leftists”, “Democrats are nothing more than fascists dressed up as communists”.

    My answer is YES – it will work as other medicines promoted by President Trump: hydroxychloroquine, UV light, disinfectants, avoiding windmills, waiting for April for coronavirus miraculously will disappear and herd mentality:

    No but you certainly did in your opening
    Bogus/ The only thing climate science has noticeably settled or proven is that people are far more likely to listen to you if you predict doomsday, and that governments are far more likely to give scientists huge piles of cash if they make predictions that power hungry jackasses think they can parlay into even more power over peoples' lives.

    Which specific evidence? The evidence you want to believe or the evidence you don’t?

    That's an old lie.

    But if all you want is an excuse, any excuse will do. Back in the real world, this was settled over 20 years ago, with the larger community of science throwing it's support behind it a couple of years later.

    But that's in the real world, and you won't be going there.

    "Watts Up With That? (WUWT) is a blog[1] promoting climate change denial.

    "scientists have repeatedly criticized [Watts] for misleading readers"

    It's trash, nothing more.

    That you avoid the obvious conclusion is a given. Suffice it to say that making science a slave of government has not served actual science well.

    I'm not the guy trying to rewrite science.

    Governments with capitalist economies invest in research. That's been going for roughly a couple centuries. (Britain started investing in science 300 years ago, but that runs into the musical question of when is capitalism capitalism? I feel a song coming on..)

    Anyway, back in the real world, we found the first hints in the 70s, and nothing has happened to change those initial conclusions.

    Au contraire...

    Good on you, if you're going to have a delusion, make it something you enjoy.

    Let's put it this way: I have actually spent time exploring the sites I have found wanting. You have not.

    The climate resistance is much more lightly resourced than the alarmist establishment, but we have the truth on our side.

    The Climate Scam: What We Are Up Against
    November 19, 2020/ Francis Menton
    [​IMG]

    • What I call the “climate scam” is the proposition that human use of fossil fuels will shortly bring about a catastrophic increase in atmospheric temperatures, and that this crisis can easily be averted by governments in a few rich countries, with about 10% of the world’s population, imposing crippling coercive restrictions and cost increases on fossil fuel use while also massively subsidizing alternative “renewable” energy sources.

    • I have long thought that this scam could not go on too much longer.

    • But then, you have to consider what we are up against. . . .

    Follow the money.

    "The four major vaccine manufacturers in the US are Pfizer, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, and Sanofi, and if one of those four companies successfully develops a Coronavirus vaccine, Fauci and the NIAID stand to collect half of the royalties, according to Kennedy Jr.

    He said that companies who used that patent have to split the profits 50/50 with the NIAID and he claimed that the Gates Foundation had invested in that particular patent.

    He said that there was no limit on how much the NIAID can collect from the coronavirus vaccine and said that there need to be more government regulations to prevent it from doing so."
    IRISH CENTRAL, Robert F. Kennedy Jr says Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates stand to profit from COVID-19 vaccine, Robert F. Kennedy's son claims that Dr. Tony Fauci and the Gates Foundation stand to make a hefty profit from the manufacture of the COVID-19 vaccine., By Shane O'Brien, Apr 27, 2020.

    Since you're a genius that is smarter than a couple thousand scientists publish your brilliance, collect your Nobel.

    Fake is fake...

    That's a false argument. If that were the standard then there would be no reason for this forum to exist. My relative brilliance (or lack thereof) has nothing to do with your uninformed attacks on WUWT.

    Lawyer, not scientist..

    Even better, he's a member of the Federalist Society, which has devolved over the years into an anti-democracy mess, roughly the opposite of how they started.

    He's not worth the time to decide if he's reactionary ideologue or just a nut.

    (Actually, they're the same thing.)
