. . . . debate other scientists.

An intelligent person just isn't going to waste a lot of time debating
creationists, holocaust deniers, birthers, bigots, gun loons, truthers
and all the others with a host of other mental disorders.

Real scientists confronting real emergencies are perfectly happy to
explain/debate/discuss the details of their thinking with anybody and
everybody.

Ha. Global warming scientist especially avoid debate with other
scientist.

An intelligent person that is warning others of a genuine impending
catastrophe would be eager to use any means necessary to get their
message out to anybody that will listen. Real scientists confronting
real emergencies have no need for a blacklist. The fact that alarmist
scientists have a blacklist is all one needs to know to conclude that
they have a hidden agenda.

But, you're not a scientist, nor are you opinions much
to debate, in my experience.. Maher spoke to this..

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/04/06/maher-debating-climate-change-is-like-arguing-whether-the-earth-is-flat/

Moore asserted that the debate on climate change is still ongoing.

“That’s a canard, Steve,” said Maher. “There are scientists on
the other side, but they’re backed by the American Petroleum
Institute.”

Again, Moore asserted that there’s still a debate about whether
the Earth’s climate is changing.

“Should we still debate whether the Earth is flat?” Maher demanded.
“That’s not how science works. At some point, you reach a consensus,
then debate the next issue.”

You left out global warming. They don't debate that because their
"intelligence" tells them that they would lose.

Climate scientists publicly debate the science well enough and this
includes debunking all the wing nut denier "theories" most of which
are generated by paid shills If deniers were really interested in the
science they would click on the following link:

http://www.skepticalscience.com/

But a debate about science isn't what deniers really want. Deniers
just want to waste the time of climate scientists by acting like they
are too simple minded to figger out how a frozen radiator can cause an
engine to overheat.

Wrong all the way, the warming stopped
even before the leftist crowing started, just
stop trying to tax and increase energy costs
and the "deniers" will not say a word.

How does that change the fact that skepticalscience has degreed
scientists and the deniers have shills who majored in basket weaving?

We are not discussing those issues. We are discussing cagw. CAGW has
zero in common with those issues.

You know. If I were a scientist. If I were a world reknown climate
scientist. With all the "robust" and "settled" "science" that 50
billion dollars can buy. With the worldwide consensus. With the
backing of the Greenpeace/Sierra Club/IPCC alliance behind me. And
with all the universities and all the scientific organisations and all
of the scientists in the universe behind me..... and some small group
of anti-science deniers were pissing me off and messing up the
"consensus"... well I'd find the most prominent and highly regarded of
these crackpots, and I'd put him or her on prime time TV and proceed
to shove my robust and confirmed and undeniable science right down his
throat in an open and clear debate, so that everyone on the planet can
see him gag and sputter his nonsense and for once and for all shut
them down entirely.

That is, if I had the science, I could do that.

If I didn't, then the last thing I'd want is to debate in an open
forum where the world can see that my science is bullshit.

Just saying....

Was this alleged debate done in secrecy? Did nobody take notes? Show
us the details and data from any such experiments presented thereof,
or is it your special secret?

By definition everything is "done in secrecy" from the conspiracy
minded winger dinger POV.

After all, science has been quantitative since Galileo yet deniers
somehow missed the boat on that as well.
