I came to change my mind on both climate change and population dynamics, based on the evidence and the fact Simon won the bet.

Did you somehow miss the Climategate fiasco?  That, if nothing else, shows "the consensus is wrong" (and validated numerous critics of the system which produced it).

Here's a couple of great places to begin your remedial lessons on debunking the quasi-religious popsci "ZOMG Teh End Is Nigh" Cassandra complex of doom-mongering.

Climategate: Why it matters
The scandal we see and the scandal we don't

ROFL. Lets figure out a way to find the size of text from those things in history vs what has been put out about manmade global warming.

Lets see if your claim actually holds up. It doesn't.

It is the epitome of false equivalence.

I am willing to bet on this with the appropriate escrow agent. Just go find a good way to measure it but I don't think we can fairly do that.

LOL, of course you had to say "false equivalence."  Everybody take a drink, then spin around waving your hands.   Cheesy

And you personalize the debate to avoid acknowledging Prof. Julian Simon (IE NOT iCEBREAKER) won the wager against Prof. Ehrlich.

The claims from the Register article certainly hold up; they are based on a whistleblower's exquisitely curated leak of the perverted science behind the ManBearPig-Industrial Complex.

Of course you can't read code, so the otherwise damning phrase "fudge factor" as applied to an innocent data array means nothing to you.

Your parents and education have failed you so badly and completely you don't even realize how stupid and ignorant you are.

That's why you "can't even" why Climategate matters, despite a well-written non-technical article explaining the issues in plain English.  Wink
