Mary, an accent isn't a good basis to decide on somebody's veracity. Do you similarly denigrate the melanin-rich? You prefer to believe priesthoods. That doesn't make it a good argument. <It is not unlike researching some medical issue. Instead of listening to people who have had training and experience in medicine and instead wasting time listening to some quack with an english accent making up stories. I am basically not up to debunking quacks > I have a sort of English accent and am not a medical expert: Message 24119968 I was right and the medical experts and authorities were wrong. It's possible to learn and think. In my own field of expertise, I used to explain than an intelligent person could spend some time reading and know more than me or any expert. Your argument is simply "They are the official approved experts so we have to believe them". I'm also right on the climate even though I'm typing with an accent. Mqurice

Hilarious: <he has spent a lot of someone’s money preparing and peddling his lies. I have already initiated the process of having Abraham hauled up before whatever academic panel his Bible college can muster, to answer disciplinary charges of willful academic dishonesty amounting to gross professional misconduct unbecoming a member of his profession. Keep an eye out at www.scienceandpublicpolicy.org. There, in due course, will appear the letter I am now drafting to Abraham, asking him several hundred pertinent questions designed to make him and anyone who may think of relying upon him understand that academic dishonesty and deliberate lying on this scale and with this amount of public circulation is just not acceptable and will not be tolerated. Abe, baby, if you present yourself as “a scientist” — as you do throughout your talk — then it is as a scientist that you will be judged, found lamentably wanting, and dismissed. You may like to get your apology and retraction in early: for I am a Christian too, and will respond kindly to timely repentance. > Mary, I studied fluid mechanics and if I do say so myself was masterful in the Airy Wave Theory and went on to earn a good living dealing with fluid dynamics in the oil industry. The fluid mechanics lecturer has cobbled together a load of tendentious nonsense and has now been dealt with. It's surprising that you could listen to him and look at his slides and not see it yourself. That is the most interesting aspect of the Climate Alarmist industry - how they manage to con the gullible and even a lot of apparently knowledgeable people. Con artists say that wanting to believe is the main advantage their victims hand them. It's amazing to me that you can look and listen to both and still think the theological fluid mechanics man has it right. I listened to well over half of it to see if he had some good ideas but came up empty handed. It was tendentious twaddle. Mqurice
