This training places local sustainability, its development challenges and local vulnerabilities in the context of climate changes at regional and global levels in order to understand their linkages. It is well recognized that a response strategy to climate change is an additional and new area of sustainable community development, that in addition to many other local priorities like reducing poverty, improving sanitation and safe access to fresh water, health issues and diminishing
ecological resiliency.

...and the meaning of "climate" is presumed to be understood. Did you know that social changes constitute "climate change"? Awesome!

Fortunately now even the little guy will be able to become a certified IRES developer of priority response strategies in this "new and additional" area of the undefined "climate change" ...all for the incredibly low cost of:

Group Daily Cost (USD/EURO)
6-10 - $1,118.00/€1,018.00
11-15 - $1,721.00/€1,567.00
16-20 - $2,250.00/€2,048.00
21-25 - $2,706.00/€2,463.00
26-30 - $3,089.00/€2,811.00
30-50 - $4,556.00/€0.00
3-5 - $736.00/€670.00

...so multiplied by five for the five training days ... and add airfare to Kenya ... plus all visa/credential coordination...and lodging accomodations, and you've got yourself one heck of a deal!

When referring to its endorsing organizations, why does IRES use the wording "They Have Faith in Us"?

IRES, what trafn means is that you picked exactly the right audience who will buy into whatever crap you are selling. With the exception of one person (myself) the gullibility level here makes for a target-rich environment. You may be selling overpriced courses half-way around the world that are empty on content but this site is here for precisely the kind of person who eats up the buzz words you're peddling.

So, good choice.

@IBdaMann

Trafn's suggestion of the day:

What's the best way to respond to you when you routinely employ Religion, Repetitiveness and Redundancy, the preferred Three R's of the climate science illiterate? By not responding! Simply suggest that you go sit in the corner where all immaturely behaving children belong, like this:

NON-RESPONSE: please feel free to go sit in the corner!

I think that "pointless" would probably be better than childish. On the other hand, trying to debate with somebody who refuses to accept that evidence plays a role in science and who insists that the definition of the scientific method used by working scientists the world over is a Marxist plot is also pointless.

Agreed, but trfn is asking anyone who disagrees with him to sit in the corner.

I seems that this forum is basically for climate catastrophist crusaders, to the exclusion of all others.

Hi Earthling, I would disagree with this statement. I have stated a couple of times on this forum that I don't think that climate change will cause the end of the world or the end of humanity, and I have not been told to go and sit in the corner.

As for IBdaMann, until he posts some links/evidence to back up his 'scientific' claims, telling him to go and sit in the corner is the only reasonable response, unfortunately.

Earthling - I am probably the premier doom-and-gloomer around here, and I've taken the time to write a book about it. That doesn't make me right, it just means I've invested a considerable amount of my time and energy to share my insights with others. They don't have to agree with me, but it'd be nice if their responses were more than mere brush-offs, combined with considerable off topic distractions, simply because our perspectives differ. I think if you read the history of many of these threads, you'll see that my "NON-RESPONSE" posts were out of frustration at not being able to have thoughtful discussions that were on topic.

On the other hand, I will delete the part about sitting in the corner and just suggest that we stay on topic in the future.

But Earthlings reaction is a good example of why the best way to deal with a situation like this is just to completely ignore posters who you think are not contributing anything useful. A response that tells them where to go, so to speak, is going to be taken negatively by others, especially lurker newcomers.

It appears that I have greatly underestimated your lack of reading comprehension.

It is usually pointless to try to convert a science-based atheist to a WACKY religion.

Good, you're getting there. What, exactly, might that common "framework" be? (Spoiler Alert):
1. No science.
2. Unfalsifiable dogma
3. Religious sensitivities riled when presented science that runs counter to said unfalsifiable dogma
4. Struggle to cite perceived authority figures who are not participants in the conversation and who cannot be cross-examined.
5. Complete inability to support numerous WACKY assertions.
6. Desperation to silence the messenger of science.

You can have grand conversations with Earthling because there is absolutely no risk that he will bring any science to the table. He has nothing to threaten your religious sensitivities. You two should get along very well.

Hi drm and IBdaMann,

The original topic of this post is Training Course on climate change adaptation in a changing environment.

Anyone clicking on this thread, especially a newcomer, is likely to be looking for information about that original topic. Unfortunately, like many threads here, they're going to find it has gone off topic into other areas and make it unlikely they will want to join the discussion.

While these other areas are of interest, it would be best to address them in a separate thread where they are the original topic and, therefore, on topic.

I think this will help us to draw more newcomers into the conversations here.

I realize it stings like a bitch to be exposed as a fraud. There you were pretending to be a scientist and all that implies, and it turns out that you are scientifically illiterate. In all likelihood you were lying about having a PhD. Second semester physics freshman have a better understanding of science than you. You need highschool science fundamentals explained to you. You are confused by simple arithmetic.

It is no wonder that you don't understand the basic premise of science that if you are the one making the assertion then you bear the full burden of support. You are the one claiming a "greenhouse effect." I am not the one making any assertion. There is no requirement on my end to support anything. You can't possibly have any science background whatsoever.

Additionally, science is expressed unambiguously in some formal specification which is usually math. The moment you began quibbling over what label I used for a given variable without being able to find any fault behind the measures or the relationships, you demonstrated the extent to which you are completely lost in any discussion of the falsifiable. Further, since relationships are expressed in math and not in English, your insistence that I am somehow obligated to find my explanation repeated elsewhere on the internet is just a way for you to tip your king.

No matter how you look at it, the only rational explanation for your complete ineptness is that you are a highschool dropout who needs to perform a internet charade to fool people into thinking you are smarter than you are. But being relegated to simply guessing at what/who is correct leaves you scrambling for perceived authority figures to obey, and apparently you have a long streak of guessing incorrectly and of willingly adopting religious dogma as science.

You will forgive me for no longer expecting you to be able to apply any sort of higher independent, rational analysis of...well...anything.

You had your chance.

I'm willing to stipulate you work with academics at a university.

I don't mean to offend but I can't see how you can have any degree in science whatsoever. Maybe you were a liberal arts major, I don't know but you need even basic highschool concepts explained to you. You demonstrated right here in this forum and inability to understand "A = B + C" even though you were the one who posted it. You claimed that my explanation of the arithmetic was incorrect just because I labeled a variable "C" instead of "X." You demanded I provide internet links to support my explanation of the arithmetic and to provide links showing that someone else has also labeled that variable "C".

How do you honestly expect anyone to believe you have a PhD in any field of science?

Additionally, science is about doubting and questioning. You refuse to doubt any aspect of your dogma, ever, even when there is science running counter to it, just as a fundamentalist Christian denying science showing the age of the earth is far more than a few thousand years old. No real scientist would simply dismiss verifiable science in favor of a pet belief.

Further, science is all about modifying, adjusting, changing, altering and fine-tuning falsifiable models. You boldly created a falsifiable model (credit where it's due) but then you refused to modify it when it was shown to be false. That's how the religious treat their dogma, i.e. as holy, sacrosanct, untouchable, inerrant, unmodifiable, the truth, the light and the way.

I'd be happy to work with you to refine a working model, but you don't appear to want to discuss science lest you discover that you need to change your model.

Are you asking me if citing religious preachers and other "evidence" equates to science?

Are you asking how I expect any religious zealot to accept contrary science that is henceforth presented?

Please explain to me your dependence on internet links. I really don't get it.

Any link would be fine. Either from the internet, or a physics text book. I am not fussy.

You have not presented any science as yet. You have stated the same nonsense over and over again. Why don't I have a go at this:

There is no such thing as the moon. It is a myth, made up by political organisations such a NOAA. There cannot possibly be such a thing as the moon, because it dis-obeys Newton's Law of gravitation. You cannot argue with the science. Anyone who says that the moon exists is clearly an idiot. Post some science that proves that the moon exists.

Any insistence that we type in information already posted elsewhere is silly. That's why links were created, to avoid wasting time duplicating effort. So people who insist you not provide links must just want you to waste your time (which you may already be doing by reading their posts).

Or should we go back to the days of scribes, when a copy of anything required somebody to sit down and do so by hand?

So you still don't understand the concept of "burden of proof" nor the fallacy of attempting to shift your burden of proof?

I'm making no assertion. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything.

What links did all of your education teach you that I am required to provide for that?

Global Warming is a religion


Evidence supporting the truth of a model has no role in science


Sorry, there is no falsifiable AGW model to "support,"


There is definitively no statistical correlation between atmospheric CO2 levels and any atmospheric temperatures anywhere


Etc, etc, etc....

I would say that you have made quite a few assertions, actually. But you cannot back any of them up, with any scientific evidence, e.g. data, published papers, reports, text books, or even non-scientific evidence, such as blog entries and newspaper articles.

This is a forum to 'discuss climate change'. You have been arguing on this forum for days now, but apparently you don't even believe that there is such as thing as climate, or that it can change. In which case, why are you wasting your time, if not for the sole purpose of having an argument, just for the sake of it?

You are locked into "attempting to shift the burden of proof" mode and I'm simply not going to take the burden off your shoulders.

If you're happy with "greenhouse effect" remaining an unfalsifiable religious dogma for which there is no science, then I'm happy as well. Neither of us needs to provide any support whatsoever. Case closed and we're done.

Hi IBdaMann,

Yes, it is an advertisement for a climate change training course, and on their website they say:

Who should attend: The course is intended for mid-career professionals, dealing with climate change adaptation and mitigation options in developing countries, working for a research organization, NGO, government or civil society. Participants need to have a relevant tertiary education with at least one year of experience in a course-related discipline like agriculture, disaster risk management, food security, water management, biodiversity, forestry, or other natural resources management.

While it is an interesting topic and relevant to our discussion here, I think if they took the time to read the threads that they'd have realized that none of us are likely to qualify. To their credit, they only posted it once on the website, and they were direct and brief about it (the weren't repetitive with redundant posts).

Overall, I'm finding it a bit of a grey area, but I agree with you seeing it as spam. People don't come here to be solicited, even if it is for something about climate change. They come here to discuss. Perhaps that is the real topic of this thread!

I realize it stings like a bitch to be exposed as a fraud. There you were pretending to be a scientist and all that implies, and it turns out that you are scientifically illiterate. In all likelihood you were lying about having a PhD.


I am not lying about my job. The site administrator can vouch for that.




One of the more irritating things that the scientifically illiterate trolls do is make false accusations.

I was told IMMEDIATELY that I was a "liar", that I obviously never studied science, that it was all made up fiction, blah, blah, blah...

And when they were off their meds they told me about my Marxist connections as a gullible puppet of an evil conspiracy.

I believe that Climate Scientist was/is the real thing, as far as being scientifically literate and highly educated through a real world science training program.

It is SO EASY to spot a faker. They throw around terms they don't understand.

They dismiss as "gibber babble" any text that includes actual scientific terms.

But this site gets new viewers every day.

And there were more actual scientists besides Climate Scientist who posted at one time or another.

Perhaps if I compile the most informative posts from the most scientifically competent members who posted in the past, new viewers will be able to see it all together in one place, without having to scroll past endless troll feces to find it.

Global Warming is a religion


Evidence supporting the truth of a model has no role in science


Sorry, there is no falsifiable AGW model to "support,"


There is definitively no statistical correlation between atmospheric CO2 levels and any atmospheric temperatures anywhere


Etc, etc, etc....

I would say that you have made quite a few assertions, actually. But you cannot back any of them up, with any scientific evidence, e.g. data, published papers, reports, text books, or even non-scientific evidence, such as blog entries and newspaper articles.

This is a forum to 'discuss climate change'. You have been arguing on this forum for days now, but apparently you don't even believe that there is such as thing as climate, or that it can change. In which case, why are you wasting your time, if not for the sole purpose of having an argument, just for the sake of it?



"..for the sole purpose of having an argument, just for the sake of it..." pretty well sums it up as far as I can tell.

Dragging everything back to a stupid word game about "unambiguous definitions" that can turn an alligator into an amphibian.

And the absolute ARROGANCE of pretending to understand science in some way that is superior to trained scientists with PhDs is worthy of disdain.

There is certainly no obligation to answer a troll's "questions", especially when they are a transparent attempt to instigate yet another endless word game.

You are describing yourself again. Inversion fallacy.

Semantics fallacy. Nobody is turning an alligator into an amphibian. They already ARE amphibians.

Science is not a degree. It is not a 'training'. You deny science.

Like right now?

sealover wrote:I was told IMMEDIATELY that I was a "liar",

Yes, and to this day you have not even made an attempt to rectify (if that is the case) the situation. You have not answered the first questions you were asked, even though those questions were valid, on-topic, direct, straightforward, and totally fair. Instead, you did, and do, what dishonest, scientifically illiterate shits do is to feign indignance and to pretend that answering the posed questions is somehow beneath them.

I don't mind asking an eighth time:

1. Why should any rational adult believe in Global Warming and greenhouse effect?

2. Why should any rational adult believe that the ocean is losing its alkalinity?

3. Why would any rational adult want to remove plant food from the atmosphere?

sealover wrote: that I obviously never studied science, that it was all made up fiction, blah, blah, blah...

If you had studied science, you would be able to define your terms. You can't even define the terms that you use.

sealover wrote:And when they were off their meds they told me about my Marxist connections as a gullible puppet of an evil conspiracy.

... which you have only reinforced, and have never done anything to dispel.

sealover wrote:I believe that Climate Scientist was/is the real thing, as far as being scientifically literate and highly educated through a real world science training program.

This is reflective of your poor judgement and your dearth of scientific understanding. He's a fraud, and you can't tell. In fact, you think he's the "real thing" somehow.

sealover wrote:It is SO EASY to spot a faker. They throw around terms they don't understand.

Exactly, and they certainly can't define the terms they throw around, right?

sealover wrote: They dismiss as "gibber babble" any text that includes actual scientific terms.

Your recollection is poor. Before anyone dismisses anything as "gibber-babble", clarification on the terms used is requested. When the faker can't answer the questions, and cannot even define the terms he is using, he obviously is called on his fakery.

sealover wrote:But this site gets new viewers every day.

It's a great site. No censorship. No silencing of voices, even if it means putting up with outbursts of spam.

sealover wrote:And there were more actual scientists besides Climate Scientist who posted at one time or another.

... and you avoid answering their questions.

sealover wrote:Perhaps if I compile the most informative posts from the most scientifically competent members who posted in the past, new viewers will be able to see it all together in one place, without having to scroll past endless troll feces to find it.

The inevitable result will be that everyone will see just how poor your judgement is. Instead of others commenting on your lack of science understanding, you will simply broadcast that yourself. People will see your fawning over the IPCC and immediately be aware that you are a crackpot, and a Marxist. People will notice that you cite all the same material that begs the very questions you will not answer. You will become your own rug-puller.

Get to it.
