Says the guy who didn't like his home. And now he likes tropical storms and hurricanes. He likes a warmer planet.
God, this is 2 sleazy. I need to make something up.
I know, my black cat is named Salem because I am a warlock. As the
preacher man (gfm's friend told me) the truth shall set me free.
John 8:32;
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

Now if only I read the Bible and knew what it said. Just another sinner going to Hell where it's nice and warm.

Hurricanes kind of suck, but easy to survive, and rebuild. We can build hurricane resistant structures, and have for decades. My house was built in 1946, still standing, and only minor damage. Even when a Cat 4 passed right over... Humans thrive, and survive, because we learn (well some), improve, adapt. We don't stop nature, or try to control it. We learn to deal with what nature throws at us.

This website is currently overrun by trolls like IBdaMann, his second rate side-kick Into the Night, and their retarded servant Tim the plumber who are only doing what the administration of this website allows them to do.

If the administration of this website truly wanted to have a place where people can rationally discuss climate change science in an adult-like fashion, they would do the following:

1. Have global website guidelines like the ones in Sharing Ideas, and then enforce them with a three-strikes-and-you're-out (banned) policy.

2. Delete every single thread that currently exists on this website, as the vast majority of content currently on Climate-debate.com is overwhelmingly garbage that just drives potential, new members away because it's such a bunch of shit.

3. After deleting everything, invite everyone - including our current trolls - back to start over, and immediately ban anyone who violates the three-strikes-and-you're-out policy.

I would strongly advocate that the administration take this approach immediately, unless of course it's goal to have a troll-based website.

If you agree, please PM branner immediately and say so!




This post was nearly seven years ago.

The dominant troll and "his second rate sidekick" were already successfully driving people away from the discussion.

But there were still a lot of members attempting to have a reality-based discussion of the actual topic.

All that remain now are the dominant troll, his second rate sidekick, a young troll apprentice, a snarky heckler who at least believes that climate has changed in the past, and a few others.

Second rate sidekick kept getting referred to as "sidekick" by several others before they, too, gave up on the site.

This site would be harmless and completely unnoticed if Internet search engines weren't being deceived about the actual number of people who view the site.

Fresh meat arrives thanks to the search engines.

Trolling the trolls actually gives their life some meaning. A call to arms!

Stop trolling the trolls for about two days and see how quickly they resort to cannibalism.

I think the best addition to these sites would be 'break out rooms' which would be invite only and set up by members. Then, if you want to have a rational, science based discussion, you can advertise your room and screen who comes in (and throw out those who don't conform to the rules, either through majority vote of members (democracy) or by owner (autocracy)).

Congratulations Nielsenbr56! You are the 50th new member to join climate-debate since I first posted about eight months ago.

In theory, there are 1632 users now.

You have probably already noticed that only a handful of members actually post in these threads, very few of which are related to climate change.

They have all been here for years, racking up many thousands of post each.

The website owner is fully aware of what goes on here and doesn't care.

I made many attempts to discuss real world environmental science.

Unfortunately, I was alone in the effort.

Fewer than eight trolls keep the place too ugly for any new members to stay.

None of the fifty new members since I joined are still here, unless you break the pattern.

Don't expect the site owner to assist with any structural change, install an ignore feature, or ban anyone no matter how intolerable their behavior.

I invite you to look at the threads I tried to generate interest in, if you would like a rational science based discussion.

We could communicate by PM if you want to avoid trolls, as no other scientist would ever see anything posted on this site anyway.

It could change overnight if even just TWO people discussed real world science.

Safe spaces that are established simply to escape the science of the main board add no value to the main board.

trafn tried this. He had Branner's full support. In the end, the cowardly and dishonest science-phobes realized that they could not eradicate the actual science on the main board and thus they continued to feel threatened.

No rational science-based discussion has ever resulted in any religious safe space where science is so feared and hated that it is censored and/or banned.

If you really want a science-based discussion, just join a science-based discussion on the main board.

Yes, pity that - there is a lot of room for the discussion of real world impacts that can come from discussions that highlight actual measured science. Climate change is easy to define - just look up the Antarctic Ice Core data. This shows millennia of climate change (as opposed to weather, which is what the general public think climate change is) from ice age (average temp 8 degC) to inter-glacial periods like today at 15degC. Even Al Gore - scraping the bottom of the barrel here - presented that data in his mockumentary - pity he didn't understand it though...

Not if they are totally incoherent like this sentence above.

You would benefit from learning what science is. That alone would empower you to engage in meaningful discussions on the main board without having to create a separate safe space.

Science is not measured. I realize that there are two possible meanings for the word "measured" but science is neither.

Nielsenbr56 wrote:Climate change is easy to define

Yet you have never been able to define it unambiguously. You have never been able to say what the Earth's global climate is.

Why don't you start with an unambiguous definition of the global climate?

Everything you have mentioned on this subject amounts to creating "science-free" zones into which the scientifically illiterate can flee. Why do you want that?

In contrast, nobody can prevent anyone from discussing any science he wants to discuss on the man board. What's the problem?

1. I will pont you to the Climate-Debate search function. Into the Night and I have elucidated what science is more than 100 times combined. Search on "falsifiable models"

2. "Peer Reviewed" has nothing to do with science, although the scientifically illiterate are sure it's somehow an integral part.

There is no data. Circular definition. You can't define 'climate change' with itself.

Not much to really discuss. Climate Change/Global Warming has always been a political scam. The 'data' is mostly generated with computer models, fed pretty much any guess, or speculation that seems to fit the desired output. Even the thermometer readings are biased. More temperature monitoring stations added every year, based on population growth. Not surprising, but people like living in warm climates, more than cold. The analogs, and proxy 'data', is speculation, at best. Huge margin of error, which carries to the entire data set used. Any actual measurements, render useless.

The least potent/plentiful 'greenhouse' gas is the entire focus. To save the planet, wouldn't you go after the greatest threat first? CO2 happens to be essential to survival. CO2 is a byproduct of our best energy source. Lot of people depend on burning Fossil-fuels. All living things are based on carbon molecules. But plants are the only living thing to take carbon in, directly from the environment. No plants, no food. More CO2, more food... Climate Change, is a political tool, to control (kill) the planet's growing population. We depend on food and energy. Water is just too plentiful to screw with. Falls from the sky, generously for many people.

Some of us have VERY impressive credentials, but they are meaningless here.

Perhaps the more important question to ask is simpler:

Are you scientifically literate?

Let's try to establish an "unambiguous definition" for scientific literacy.

First "literacy" - the ability to understand, read, and write a language.

Therefore, scientific literacy is the ability to understand, read, and write the scientific language.

Do you understand, read, and write the kind of "buzzwords" and "gibber babble" that real world scientists (the kind who have actual credentials, publications, etc.) use to communicate?

I do not speak Arabic, but I know that when two people speak to each other in that language, they are probably using real words with meaning understood by both parties.

The local trolls candidly admit their scientific illiteracy. They dismiss as "buzzwords" and "gibber babble" the science that is beyond their comprehension. As long as all involved are equally ignorant, it wins the debate.

For those whose infallible omniscience is self evident, there is no need to cite any credible source for unsupported contrarian assertions.

Those with less obvious omniscience can cite a score they received on a test they took as a child. That trumps credentials and publications any time.

I'm pessimistic that a valuable discussion will result, but I'm curious to know how scientifically literate the newest member is.

I'd be happy to guide anyone to my widely cited pubs in prestigious journals and advanced degrees from prestigious universities (by PM).

Are you willing to share yours, even if only by PM?

Clearly you have a strong bias regarding the validity and politics of anthropogenic global warming.

But you might be scientifically literate and able to cite credible sources (other than self evident omniscience or your childhood IQ score) for assertions you make. This would allow, for the first time, genuine "debate" on this website.

Nielsenbr56 I was on this forum for a few years as a brand new person to AGW/CC. I learned what I could and then the insults became childish so i have found Reddit which has many sub forums. I have already been booted from R/climate that is the site that quotes all the NY post and Guardian rubbish that we are doomed some time next week for posting questions and getting downvoted too much. Climate skeptics is good and I fit in the group as we are all a bit more hang on a minute lets look at the real world a bit more. Alarmists come on but do not hang around a lot.R/climate change is a bit more middle of the road. The main thing is discussions are had. I have admitted to being wrong about power bills in England and some posters thanked me for being able to do that. I personally do not believe there is catastrophic warming and know a lot of the data is fudged to show warming. Not that a bit of warming would be bad in -30 Canada right now. Tomorrow is the first day of summer but I went down my local beach Monday and the whiting were on the chew and I caught my first decent tailor. Americans call them bluefish. If the water goes over my head its because I walked in to far and fell over. There is zero sea level rise for 180 years where I live. I still like the debate on humans making the weather bad however I found this forum too toxic but at least I learned what gaslighting is

Nielsenbr56 wrote:c) are a conspiracy theorist

You have no credibility with this term. You are one of those mindless ignorants who got suckered into believing that "troll" means anyone who disagrees with you politically in any way. Obviously you are one of the world's dishonest fuqqs who hurls the term "conspiracy theorist" at anyone who rejects the political propaganda that you promulgate.

I nonetheless appreciate the exacting manner in which you have detailed your leftist politics. You should start a thread on why Capitalism is destroying Climate, humanity and the planet.

You are free to presume that I'm not a huge fan of Darwin's theory of evolution and all that stuff. What difference are you claiming that makes? Does this get me declared "not an expert" by the State?

Ah - so no actual published papers then - sorry, I thought you were an expert. I don't suppose you have a Physics degree either then?


Some of us have VERY impressive credentials, but they are meaningless here.

We already know YOUR credentials! You revealed who you really are. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Science isn't credentials.

Perhaps the more important question to ask is simpler:

Are you scientifically literate?

Let's try to establish an "unambiguous definition" for scientific literacy.

First "literacy" - the ability to understand, read, and write a language.

Redefinition fallacy (language<->knowledge).

Therefore, scientific literacy is the ability to understand, read, and write the scientific language.

Science isn't a language.

Do you understand, read, and write the kind of "buzzwords" and "gibber babble" that real world scientists (the kind who have actual credentials, publications, etc.) use to communicate?

Buzzword are not a language.

I do not speak Arabic, but I know that when two people speak to each other in that language, they are probably using real words with meaning understood by both parties.

The local trolls candidly admit their scientific illiteracy. They dismiss as "buzzwords" and "gibber babble" the science that is beyond their comprehension. As long as all involved are equally ignorant, it wins the debate.

Science isn't Arabic.

For those whose infallible omniscience is self evident, there is no need to cite any credible source for unsupported contrarian assertions.

A theory of science supports itself.
sealover wrote:
Those with less obvious omniscience can cite a score they received on a test they took as a child. That trumps credentials and publications any time.

I'm pessimistic that a valuable discussion will result, but I'm curious to know how scientifically literate the newest member is.

Science isn't a language.

I'd be happy to guide anyone to my widely cited pubs in prestigious journals and advanced degrees from prestigious universities (by PM).

Are you willing to share yours, even if only by PM?

Clearly you have a strong bias regarding the validity and politics of anthropogenic global warming.

But you might be scientifically literate and able to cite credible sources (other than self evident omniscience or your childhood IQ score) for assertions you make. This would allow, for the first time, genuine "debate" on this website.

Science isn't a language.

There is no such thing. Science is a set of falsifiable theories. That is all. That is it.

Science is not an class, university, school, paper, book, or website.

This is YOUR problem. YOU are the one making the semantics fallacy.

You are not having a conversation. You are preaching a load of meaningless buzzwords.

The Theory of Evolution (which states that Man evolved from more primitive life forms) is not a theory of science.
