You neglected to mention that your article states clearly
that "But long-term, the expected temperature rises will
not alter significantly", and speaks to 'climate sensitivity'.

Nah, it has an even larger range of 'uncertainty'..

"It is a bigger range of uncertainty," said Dr Otto.

"But it still includes the old range. We would all
like climate sensitivity to be lower but it isn't."

There is no question as to why, except for you begging
the 'question', David. The volume of air in our troposphere
is finite, and we keep adding an estimated 30 billion tons
of carbon dioxide to that finite volume of air every year..

Quibbling endlessly about this does nothing to improve
the situation, and pretending that it will wreck our
national economy is just another quaint rationalization
being spoon-fed to you by those who stand to lose the
obscene profits they're already making..

That's your problem..

Don't take it so personally, after all, decades of exploiting
other nations and manufacturing your consent, it is indeed
much easier to fool you than to convince you that you've been
fooled..

David, I've read your 'original post', followed up by
reading the abstract it was derived from, and even quoted
directly from the article you cited.

You're batting 0.000 again..

Yup, and when you cause problems for me, I will take you to
task for it. We cannot continue to mindlessly ignore the
ecological impacts that your head-long rush towards final
extinction is causing.. Who do you think you're kidding?

Besides yourself, that is..

Not to mention that we've just recently surpassed the 400 parts per
million threshold in CO2 emissions for the first time in history.

You could have just said, We Are All Going To Die...

We get it already

Yawn..........

Nice personal attack.

And you wonder why people don't believe in AGW. I mean if the science is
that good, personal attacks would not be required would they ?

I guess bullying by kid's at school is a no no for leftists, but
cyberbullying others who are not dedicated leftists on the net is OK for
the leftists ?

Wow............

Amazing the climate has been cooling for 16 years, eh?
