Greetings newcomers!

If you are like me, you found this website during an Internet search.

The title "Climate Debate" suggested it might be a place where useful information was being exchange and something was being learned.

If you are like me, your first impression of this website was not encouraging.

HANG IN THERE!

You might be pleasantly surprised.

Be careful or you might learn something.

Greetings newcomers!

If you are like me, you found this website during an Internet search.

The word "Debate" in the title "Climate-Debate" tells you that your ideas are welcome but are expected to be clearly stated and defended, not simply presumed to be accepted by others who are debating their own points. If you're like sealover and selectively exclude the word "Debate" from the title ... and stopped reading after the word "Climate", you might be thinking that this is a site where everyone spews Climate gibber-babble and pretends to be a science genius as sealover does.

You'll be pleased to note that we have resident science experts to help guide you in your efforts to leverage science to mold your beliefs. If your beliefs are immutable, then naturally you will find science to be ... well, ... annoying, I grant you that.

But you can still have fun. HANG IN THERE!

Welcome aboard.

But what is "science"?

We've got that Scientific Method thing, for starters, if we want to talk science.

How do we really even know anything at all?

Nope. No science understanding is needed for any religion.

Are you asking me to teach you? Are you asking me to tell you the correct answer?

sealover wrote:We've got that Scientific Method thing, for starters, if we want to talk science.

Nope. The scientific method isn't any science. It is a systematic methodology for validating science ... or killing it.

Is that the Marxist "we" again? Are you trying to paint your shortcomings onto all of humanity so that you don't feel singled out?

If you are a newcomer visiting this website, you will find a very unique and valuable resource.

If you speak science, there is accurate and up to date information about biogeochemistry presented.

If you don't speak science, there is still a lot that can be learned from it.

Welcome again newcomers!

The "climate debate" can be daunting.

I would encourage you to watch and learn from it.

I would encourage you to post questions, if you really want to join the site.

I would discourage you going down any rabbit holes of useless discussion.

The contrast is clear.

This month marks my return to the Internet climate "debate", after more than ten years of absence.

Then, like now, there were a lot of hecklers and bullies.

Most of the insults I received, based on the fact that most of my posts were about environmental chemistry, were accusations of scientific ignorance.

The Scientific Method was their sacrosanct authority upon which they based their rejection of prevailing scientific conclusions.

This website is a bit different. Not just the science of climate change, but the scientific method itself is belittled and dismissed.

Don't take the bait, unless you enjoy the comedy of seeing every sentence you write dissected word for word to support a contrarian conclusion.

Don't take the bait, unless you want to be informed that you are a Communist conspirator with a nefarious hidden agenda.

You don't have to actually go down into the rabbit hole.

You can just watch from a safe distance and see what can be learned.

What's to debate, the 'science' is settled. There was a consensus among liberals. Why would anyone question the consensus, individual thought is not allowed. The government will tell you what to think, what you will do, and when. Freewill is a myth...

We are all going to die one day. Either horribly, the liberal way, or in one of the more traditional ways.

Yes, the pursuit of "climate" definitions can be daunting.

I would encourage you to watch and learn from it. The fact that nothing ever gets defined should teach you volumes.

I would encourage you to post questions along with your requests for unambiguous definitions.

I would discourage you going down any rabbit holes of useless buzzwords.

This month marks my 11111st post on this site. At the beginning, like now, there was an endless chain of warmizombies and climate lemmings insisting they were/are "scientists" while never offering unambiguous definitions for their bizarre and technically inaccurate terms.

None of the requests for definitions ever received anything but lame excuses and double-downs on dishonesty, and this has been a number of years in the running so don't be discouraged; simply learn from it all.

The scientific method is one of the tools you can use to evaluate the "sacrosanct" arguments presented by warmizombies and climate lemmings on this site. If you cannot apply the scientific method because the presented argument is unfalsifiable, you already have your answer.

This website is a bit different. All posters are encouraged to think freely and to apply critical reasoning. This annoys the bejeebees out of the scientifically illiterate warmizombies and climate lemmings who have been assured in their safe spaces that their mere belief in Global Warming transforms them into science geniuses and climate justice superheroes. As such, they are totally unprepared for any questions or to defend any arguments they have been told to make.

Don't fall for the phony claims of authority or expertise. Warmizombies are not capable of thinking for themselves as is noted by their reliance on others to do their thinking for them. None of their arguments are their own; all are the arguments of others that were simply handed to them to believe and to regurgitate without question. As such, they can be pretty stupid. Don't have food in your mouth when you are reading.

Apply the scientific method and you'll be fine. Remember to ask plenty of questions and to demand unambiguous definitions for any terms that are unclear in any way.

Not all of the "resident science experts" will require "unambiguous definitions" before anything can be discussed.

Feel free to use the language you understand. The word cops have no authority. They just like to rant a lot and tear sentences apart with a microscope.

"None of the requests for definitions ever received anything but lame excuses and double-downs on dishonesty, and this has been for a number of years in the running..."

So, for years people on this site have been called "liars" because they refused to provide an unambiguous definition of commonly used terms such as "climate change" before any point they wished to make could be heard out without interruption.

The contrast is clear.

It's not always easy to tune out the noise.

Note to all newcomers.

Almost all residents of this site will require unambiguous definitions for the primary terms of your arguments. Meaningless buzzwords are usually discarded.

Otherwise, feel free to use the language you understand. There are no word cops here, only the occasional buzzword scheister pitching some WACKY Marxist religion. You can instantly recognize them because your requests for definitions will garner only lame excuses and double-downs on dishonesty.

Again, don't fall for the phony claims of authority or expertise. This is an anonymous forum so credentials are meaningless. Apply the scientific method and you'll be fine. Remember to ask plenty of questions and to demand unambiguous definitions for any terms that are unclear in any way.

Attempts to compensate for weak arguments by claiming credentials will usually be dismissed as untrue, so just focus on the validity of your assertions.

All religions are welcome. The primary faiths you will encounter on this board are Christianity and Climate Change. All views are considered but claims of "science" will naturally face the scientific method. If you hold a belief that you do not wish scrutinized by scientific and mathematical analysis, just declare it as your belief and move forward.

.When will climate change from AGW start or has it already started?
.Do you still need warming or is it going to happen anyway?
.If you need the warming where has it gone?

It only encourages them to keep coming back.

Sometimes the bait is hard to resist.

Insults, accusations, outrageous claims that just HAVE to be challenged.

But they'll only thrive on it if you respond, and next thing you know, you've followed them down a rabbit hole of useless discussion.

Still, I wish I could get an "unambiguous definition" for "buzzword".

Apparently some of us use way too many of them, whatever they are.

Yes!

And please don't feed them.

Sometimes the bait is hard to resist.

Insults, accusations, outrageous claims that just HAVE to be challenged.

But they'll only thrive on it if you respond, and next thing you know, you've followed them down a rabbit hole of useless discussion.

You DO like to go down such rabbit holes. You could avoid all that by defining your buzzwords.
sealover wrote:
Still, I wish I could get an "unambiguous definition" for "buzzword".

A word without meaning. Usually used to embellish a conversation. It's use as the subject in a sentence creates the void argument fallacy.
sealover wrote:
Apparently some of us use way too many of them, whatever they are.

Your list of buzzwords is impressive. I will not repeat them all here, but here are the ones you really need to define most of all:

Climate change
Climate crisis
Global warming

Let's just start with those.

"Buzzwords" is a term frequently used on this website.

What are "buzzwords"?

I've never been sure myself how they were defined.

Apparently, the list of "buzzwords" includes:

"climate change", "feedback", "forcing", "greenhouse gas", "greenhouse effect", "oxygen catastrophe", etc.

That's kind of gag order for me if I'm not allowed to use them.

What word should I say instead if "feedback" is just a meaningless "buzzword"?

Maybe some of us can sneak off and have our own discussion, using "buzzwords".

I promise not to tell anyone.

____________________________________________
It seems to me that YOU are the newcomer here...

... says the person who consistently makes use of meaningless buzzwords such as "climate change", "feedback", "forcing", "greenhouse gas", "greenhouse effect", "oxygen catastrophe", etc... I would consider THAT to be useless discussion.

You are going to encounter such behavior from time to time. That's just "a part of it".

sealover wrote:
Most of the insults I received, based on the fact that most of my posts were about environmental chemistry, were accusations of scientific ignorance.

If you are ignorant of science, yet pretend to be well-versed in it, then people who actually know more than you do are going to call you out on it.

sealover wrote:
The Scientific Method was their sacrosanct authority upon which they based their rejection of prevailing scientific conclusions.

Science is not a method.

"Climate change" is not science; it is only ever used as a meaningless buzzword.

Yes, because many scientifically and logically illiterate morons such as yourself have come and gone from this forum over the years and have made use of the same meaningless buzzwords that you are currently making use of (and refusing to unambiguously define).

sealover wrote:

You've already been told what buzzwords are. Your question has already been answered.

This is when you will start to notice posters such as ITN (and your's truly) simply responding to your tripe with "RQAA", which means 'repetitive question already answered'. This is also when you will start to notice posters such as IBdaMann REALLY start to let loose with the mockery.

sealover wrote:

RQAA.

sealover wrote:

Correct, and you've already been told why that is.

sealover wrote:

Use them all you want, but you will continue to be called out for your void argument fallacies every single time that you do so, at least until you can unambiguously define such words... Otherwise, they remain meaningless.

sealover wrote:

You haven't even defined what you are talking about when using that word, so how would I know?

As far as I am concerned, 'feedback' is: "a specific type of forcing employed by Climate that overcomes the physical limitations of the 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics by creating additional usable energy. Feedbacks come in various subcategories, e.g. thermal, climate, hydrostatic, radiative, water vapor, etc.. This falls under Settled Science."

and 'forcing' is: "a miracle performed by Climate in discharging Her duties as the central planner and administrator of all weather systems, ecosystems and local climates across the globe, of all interactions thereof and in caring for the wellbeing of all life on earth. This falls under Climate Science."

Those definitions can be found here.

sealover wrote:

Go on ahead. You and your fellow climate lemmings can buzz around all you want, parroting those words... They still remain meaningless to anyone who is literate in logic and/or English.

A word that is meaningless. Typically they are used to embellish a conversation. When used as the subject of a sentence, a void argument results.

That is how they are defined.
sealover wrote:

And you have never defined any of them.

You can use them, but you aren't saying anything when you do.
sealover wrote:

Define the 'feedback' mechanism in a way that is definable and doesn't conflict with any theory of science or the rules of mathematics.

So there is a way for each thread to have its own rules?

Please tell me how that works.

I'm trying to figure a good way to make my threads troll-resistant.

I have some work to do before I ready to send out the invites.

Believe it or not, I have "colleagues".

I promise. Swear to God promise I will never post on any of your threads.

I can't control what my colleagues do.

It's a pretty safe bet they won't want to participate in your threads, either.

Deal?

I don't imagine you could prevent yourself from behaving in any other way.

They will be warned.

It will be like the vampires. They can look real scary standing at the doorstep. But they can't come inside unless they are invited.

You might get a few invitations.

I can't require everyone to follow my advice.

Those who don't will quickly discover it's better to stop inviting the vampire in.

You might get some of your sadistic joy, but not as much as you hope.

Greetings Newcomers!

And my apologies to any "early birds". Sorry about the mix up.

I'm still not quite ready.

When the stage is complete, I will have mastered the art of attaching figures, tables, etc.

To simplify sifting through threads, there will be a rainbow spiral in the upper left (my avatar?) of each post.

This way you can quickly scroll past all the troll talk and identify my posts.

The threads will get long.

The hecklers and bullies are easy to spot.

One way to minimize their disruption will be through the use of common language.

We will be using the same gibber-babble buzzwords that all scientists use.

The hecklers and bullies will have no idea what we're talking about, while we will understand each other clearly.

They will sound silly trying to criticize what they don't understand.

We can diminish their sadistic joy by refusing to take the bait.

It will be a manageable nuisance.

You can try to ignore it, but you are only letting anyone showing you the science or mathematics that you ignore get away with it without you challenging it.
