Hockey Stick Revisited in Brand New Context

[waldo]

there's a difference in parroting a blog piece and citing legit sources...and parroting also implies the person does not understand what he/she/shady has linked to, this isn't the case with waldo...

of course, as you all too well know, this band of MLW denying parrots (for the most part), aren't even semi-literate parrots... they're truly lappers that simply prowl the blogs, the British tabloid press, the writings of the lying, distorting scum-bucket mainstream charlatan "journalists" (ala the likes of the National Posts' Solomon, Gunter, Corcoran, etc.)... prowling away, so as to prance back to MLW and drop their latest denier nugget... their latest "ta da". Equally, of course, this band of MLW denying parrots can rarely stand up to scrutiny... up to challenges... can rarely substantiate any of their nuggets, of their "ta da's". This band of MLW denying parrots thinks it's a fait de compli that they've simply found a nugget, a "ta da" in print... it's in print, damnit! Don't you know denier blog science rules! Don't you know famed TV weathermen have endorsed it! This band of MLW denying parrots wails about civil discourse, while laying down their latest pack of distortions, lies and fabrications - say, what! And, of course, this band of MLW denying parrots is forever playing the victimization card while decrying the lack of civil discourse... MLW denying parrot whiners that haven't the wherewithal to actually debate the substantive - whaaa! Waldo's so mean!

Spoken like a true parrot! Or should I say puppet! Does he have his hand up your butt, or does he control you with strings?

Wow. If this doesn't sound like the rant of a truely deranged person, I don't know what does. Waldo, please stop acting like a crazy person. You're starting to scare me.

[waldo]

hey Shady, all these 'hidden, chosen to ignore post' messages have alerted me to your presence - the vanquished returns! Truly though, it is very disheartening to realize that after months of your imposed exile from any climate change related threads, you've ventured back - with reckless abandon! Of course, having drawn from the bookmark well many times, you still do realize I have all those fabulous exchanges bookmarked... at the ready... you know, the one's waiting for your return to substantiate another of your failed claims/positions you scurried away from. You, sir fraudster, are the poster boy for MLW denying parrots! But then, I'd have to decloak and actually lower myself to your level... decisions, decisions, decisions.

The discussion itself can be edifying too... even if you don't win every time.

Michael, you're trying to reason with the unreasonable. Good luck though.

of course, you're talking the 'royal you', right?

edification? Really? You think the majority of these denying lapper parrots are interested in "intellectual improvement"? They're not - they're simply predisposed to stirring the shit with their latest denier nuggets and "ta da's". Deniers accepting to improving intellect presumes on... having intellect in the first place (see Shady).

If you're not arguing with intelligent people, then what does that say about how you value your time ?

it says that, when inclined, I'll challenge the lesser intelligent denier lapping parrot on his lies, distortions and fabrications... my tendency is to not act subservient (implicitly, or otherwise) to the purveyors of lies, distortions and fabrications... and you?

It's also not just related to climate change. He carries his deranged attitude toward every topic he posts in. Whether it's climate change, or something totally unrelated. It's also worth noting that apparently somebody checked, and waldo's never started a topic on his own. For some reason climate change is very important to him. But not important enough to start his own topics on. Even just for the purpose of educating us lesser folk.

[BubberMiley]

It's also worth noting that apparently somebody checked, and waldo's never started a topic on his own.

Why is it worth noting? There's about 1500 established threads on climate change on this board. Some people don't have the compulsion you have to try to engineer the discussion.

[waldo]

This post is hidden because you have chosen to ignore posts by Shady. View it anyway?

chirp, chirp, chirp

that's right, Shady... Simple actually went to the trouble. I'm quite content to wait on the MLW denier crew to drop their latest and greatest - one only has to watch the profile denier blogs to realize what the next MLW thread will be... the only uncertainty is in the time between blog appearance and MLW thread initiation.

but ya BM, I'm really extending on my enviro propensity... it's not like there's a whole lot that hasn't been covered in the previous... '1500 threads' - recycle... what's good for the environment, is good for MLW! (/snarc)

I don't ignore anyone. I'm not afraid to hear other people's ideas. No matter what they are.

That is not entirely true Shady.

[jbg]

really?... the denier jbg seems to be ignoring (relatively) recent challenges tasked to him... one in particular where he stated an intent for follow-up with an investigatory pursuit - perhaps his real intentions are elsewhere

I work full time. Do you nap during your lectures or in between posts?

The repeated pattern of jbg failed argument... jbg failed unsubstantiated argument... now has the denier jbg trotting out the 'hockey-stick'... it's certainly no surprise that the morally bankrupt jbg would resort to one of his oft desperate and failed go-to ploys.

Dude, you are not winning any arguments or friends here. Calling everyone an idiot and morally bankrupt and whatever. If you want to be civil, you need to drop the insults.

GostHacked - You nailed why I don't always address certain posts. I don't like to get into sliming contests.

Although I do understand why people get personal, the board is so much more interesting to me when people agree to disagree, and also... take their lumps when they're wrong...

Even though we rarely agree with you, I do here.

it seems your time management is very selective... it allows you to drop your claimed denier nuggets, free-willy - unfortunately, when challenged on your distortion/fabrications with actual consensus science, you presume to take weeks/months in coming back with your actual substantiations. Me thinks you should actually have your understandings in place before making your claims - hey? Or... don't bother accepting the challenge and saying you need "time" to review/analyze... simply accept you're wrong or slink away silently (you know, perform the patented Shady move).

ya, ya... you let your failed denier posting content do the sliming for you - hey?

Those damn deniers!

Climate change dropped from The Weather Channel

For the most past few months I've been making brief posts at The Weather Channel's Forecast Earth website, as part of a team of bloggers concerned with climate change and our relationship to the planet in general. Looks like I won't be doing that for much longer, given the news that NBC, which bought TWC earlier this year, just fired the entire Forecast Earth team and killed the show. It was the only weekly program on TV devoted to the climate.

Done. Pretty good huh?

If the Arctic is so warm let Waldo vacation in Tuktuyotok, in tennis clothes at Christmas time. Maybe he'll hug one of Santa's reindeer.

for full dramatic denier impact: learn how to spell... recognize that Tuk is really in the 'tropical south Beaufort Sea'... choose the more northerly Arctic territory (Nunavut) rather than NT... pick from the exotic locale of Ellesmere Island (perhaps 'Grise Fiord' might make for a nice respite).

of course, if you wanted to have a serious legitimate discussion on Arctic impacts... with you denying the AGW impact on the Arctic... then... go for it. That is, if your full time job and selective time management allows you to invest a few cycles in actual discourse rather than engaging the 'Shady one' - hey?

on edit: the just released 2010 NOAA Arctic Report Card... "Return to previous Arctic conditions is unlikely - Record temperatures across Canadian Arctic and Greenland, a reduced summer sea ice cover, record snow cover decreases and links to some Northern Hemisphere weather support this conclusion"

I thought of locales further north, but I figured that a place that's always buried under ice isn't a fair vacation destination, since it's never warm. By your logic at least Tuk could have tropical weather.

I guess you're not very "Alert" today, speaking of Ellesmere Island and Nunavut.

with you denying the AGW

It's not AGW anymore. It's climate change.
