Which is why I keep referring you to creationists.

You really need to stop banging that dead horse. In simple terms, here's libby's (lack of) logic..

A) If creationism (earth a few thousand years old, dinosaurs on Noah's Ark, literal Adam and Eve, etc., etc..) is prima facie silliness, along the same lines of reality as the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus (which in fact it is). And...

B) If some creationists are also skeptical that humans are primarily responsible for climate changes (a thoroughly reasonable point of view).

C) Therefore, rejection of climate change hysteria is equal to and on a par with creationist belief.

Continuing to harp on this ridiculous juxtaposition only serves to make you look stupid and/or disingenuous. You really need to find another dead horse to kick..

What you call "serving a role as an accountant in climate science", can indeed show, that the arguments or data for a certain position are uncertain. And since that IS my position (which is certainly not "global warming is not happening", or "human activity doesn't change the climate", or anything like that), then such a role does indeed lend legitimacy to my view of the big picture.
