It seems to me that once a year (or more), skeptics point to a study and make claims that were neither the intent nor the conclusions of the authors.

There's not much I can do about that when you are unwilling to continue a discussion when your position is respectfully challenged.


Talk again around Christmas time?

You cited one source about "air pollution". Your source even says global warming is created by mankind. And still you quoted a scientist out of context and then have the balls to claim that you were misquoted? Those PNAS authors were misrepresented by you.

Global warming exists no matter how many sources you or Blib27 quote out of context. Reality does not change because numbers and details are ignored.

Blib27 - you posted an opposite of what Prof Jones actually said in that BBC interview. You misrepresented reality using methods routinely implemented by extremists for political purposes. Methods that work when illiteracy is widespread.
