you really understood that I said that I did have no time for charlatans ?

P.S. If I had to use help of a nurse, I wouldn't have a problem to put my life in your hands.
But for scientists I don't have a dime to spare.

P.P.S. can you show link, quote where I ever demonstrated that I believed to denialists or denialists? ( you know that i have only one belief and you know what it is, don't you?)

If denialists want to be taken seriously, they need to come up with an actual scientific explanation for the current warming, something beyond handwaving. "It's a natural cycle!" is evasive handwaving, unless you point out exactly what's causing the natural cycle.

It's like defending yourself in a murder trial by claiming that people died of natural causes long before you were born.

Yeah, so what?

The science of Darwinism/Evolution takes far more faith then my simple belief in Jesus Christ.

That all said: you believe in the tooth fairy if ya want to, jus' leave Nanny Gubment within the limits of the Cornstitution if ya please.

The Gubment can't change the weather, now matter how much ya pay in taxes.

but according to the Climate Change Fanatics, weather has NOTHING to do with climate..

no seriously...they do!

Strawman argument.

It's not that weather has nothing to do with climate it's that climate is weather trends and one instance of it being cold at your place is not proof that the climate trend across the whole planet is doing the exact same thing.
