Quark Soup by David Appell: The CharlesH Problem
But CharlesH, this idiot, this -- I'm sorry -- this fucking idiot who sits home and probably watches America's [sic] Idol in the evening, who has probably never read a science paper in his life, really, truly, somehow honestly thinks he knows better than all the professional, study-deep-into-the-night, sweat-the-data, devote-their-lives scientists about all this.
What can you possibly say about such a person? This person -- CharlesH -- now threatens civilization.
Think about that -- ignorance from Tea Party types in rural Utah threatens the well-being of the entire human race.
...
I don't know. Donald Brown, the philosopher at Penn State who has been writing about the ethics of climate change for well over a decade -- I interviewed him in the early 2000s -- thinks they are perhaps guilty of crimes against humanity.
Are they? Are Anthony Watts and Marc Morano and Tom Nelson and Steve Goddard smart enough to be guilty of climate crimes?
I think so. You can simply claim that CO2 isn't a greenhouse gas.
I think they're crimes will be obvious in about a decade.
When I profiled Michael Mann for Scientific American, he said he thought it would eventually be illegal to deny climate change. I had doubts about that, but maybe.
...It's obvious (barely) they're not smart enough to be so evil...
...
None of them has much of a science background, if any. I mean, please.
And CharlesH, who clearly knows no science either.
But on the shoulders of these idiots, fools, and incoherent minds our future seems to turn, if only just a bit, if only in the blogosphere. And they are probably proud of this, somehow.
...
But them, still, I think: CO2 is a greenhouse gas. 5 molecules per 10,000 trap more heat than 4 per 10,000, or even three.
On that small divide, our future lies. One molecule out of 10,000.
...
I'll be flying home tomorrow...
I just hope I can get my WiFi to work again. It always seems like a crapshoot, and frankly, I don't even know if I remember the password.

yThe so-called "smart" people like David Appell assume the ridiculous assertion that CO2 is the driver of climate change - ignoring all the other influences. The scientific method seems to be thrown out the window when it comes to proof. One of the more troubling aspects of the AGW people is the tendency and wellingness to hide data, exaggerate effects and out-and-out lie to press a point.
The moment you make it a crime to question scientific theories is the moment science dies, for dissent is the lifeblood of critical thought.
And when science dies, a huge part of what we are, and what has brought us so far, dies as well.
Climate crimes? You need to seek urgent medical treatment, David. Like that sad sack Lewandosky. You Climate Jihadis tend towards the personality disordered it seems to me. Very weird. Try getting out more.

The field I'm in is electronic engineering related to transmission, capture & analysis of electromagnetic energy through the atmosphere and industrial compounds.
All you've got to do is ask these frauds why the infrared astronomy field nor the optical astronomy field have trotted out the photos of the sky over the last 100 years showing ever more heat artifacts for optical telescopes: atmospheric scintillation -
or rising earthshine in infrared astronomy.
There is none. Of either. Therefore by definition the atmosphere has not grown hotter.
Period.
