They are mostly people who correspond on the Climate Audit blog site. They all seem to have infinite time as they are all retired. This is another issue. All people working in the field have day to day jobs to do and don't want to spend evenings going on blog sites trying to put people right. ... I'd just ignore the skeptics if I were you... As I said there is no point debating with these people. It is just time wasting. I have tried to engage with them in the past, but they refuse to listen or read anything I send them. ... These people get their information from blog sites such as Climate Audit...

Getting into debates with people is something I'd like to avoid.
