How did the crow taste, Jason?

Your degree in engineering means you have about the level of statistical education a junior stat major would have. In other words – you don’t know shit.

One of the smartest guys I ever met was a ME (he did have a doctorate though); I am far from a snob about people’s education. In fact, that’s the real point of my comment. It doesn’t matter who you say you are, what matters is your ability to make a cogent argument for your position. That to me is the beauty of this kind of forum– forget identities and CV and so on and have a serious debate on the substance.

So far, your performance is seriously deficient. You may well be what you claim, but you might also be a clever 16-year-old who is quoting stuff out of a college catalog. And you offer no arguments, only trite insults that you could glean from any Denialist blog, nothing that I can identify as “physics-oriented”.

As any good engineer from my generation would say, “put up or shut up”.

But if you’re going to continue to pursue argumentum ad verecondiam (arguement from authority: a rhetorical, weak and often fallacious logical argument –as is every word of what you have posted) then you should have the integrity to give your name so that we can verify your claim and sample your paradigm changing, peer reviewed papers.

Pretty much everything I wrote above applies to your flailings as well. Good luck getting your point across, really winning the “hard science” debate with all that whiny meaningless vitriol.

But enlighten me — did the planet get a fever when I wasn’t looking? Did the beaches disappear? No more Spring Break fun in the sun?

As to the majority of your rant, Brainiac — it amounts to what I posted above regarding your ilk’s rhetoric ““consensus vs deniers — believe or suffer the consequences! There can be no debate! Quash all who dare question us” — except yours wasn’t even at the level of grade-school English. More like a vomiting fit.

But you only reinforce part of my point.

It’s cute that he imagines that all of two mild sentences, delivered in 6th-grade English so as to aid his comprehension, amounts to a “rant” or a “routine”.

There, there ::pat, pat:: little Ze-eek… It’s past your bedtime, and mommy doesn’t want you playing on the internet and annoying the adults there.
