Only open debate can bring rationality to the discussion. Only open debate can educate.
The truth does not care about feeling
I can't see how non-scientists who have no hope of understanding climate science can have a worthwhile debate.
Certainly not educate!
Feel free to give uninformed opinions - the rest of us can just ignore them.
My views are based on research by scientists. I do not invent them out of thin air. I supply empirical data to support my arguments.
While I do not consider myself a scientist, I have formally studied earth science. I like to think I have the ability to read papers on climate science. I like to think I can interpret data. I like to think I can analyse and synthesize information.
We can all learn and be educated by anyone. Do not be so closed minded to think otherwise. Learning is lifelong. And I am critical of everything I read or see. Everything. Try it, it is good for you.
I know the issues with the empirical data I show here. The data is correct, but the issues are discussion points, that's the educational value of them. I am not going to tell people the issues, people here have to read and analyse it, then try a rebuttal on my views, which then I will have to defend my position. That pretty much never happens here. Calling me a flog is not a rebuttal.
Decrepit tried briefly, we discussed the vertical movement of the continental plates, things were looking good for an intelligent debate. Then I showed evidence that cyclone activity and intensity is decreasing, which he tried to write-off 50 years of BoM cyclone data with the short term climate drivers of el Nino and el Nina. Wrong. So then he gave up and wanted me censored instead. As if that will change the data.
Science is never absolutely settled. Scientists are still finding problems and refining some of Einstein's popular theories on gravity, energy, time, relativity etc etc. If science was done by 'Argumentum ad populum', god would still be the answer for everthing.
