Great video, I had not seen that for a while.  That was when climate dogs jumped the shark.

I tried discussing climate on internet forums, generally re estimates of climate sensitivity were too high.  That was my opinion based on reviews of basic raw data and analysis of it (background in numerical analysis, signal from noise, etc).  Try to sell that to a believer in AGW, good luck.  They are for the most part the rudest, blindest bunch of faith driven apostles you will ever run into.

Seems the latest IPCC report has proven me right.  No big deal, I would just like to use this as an example of how the religion-style belief patterns has corrupted science.

By the way, in general, so called "AGW deniers" largely hold this view - that the sensitivity is overstated, not that it is zero.  The very stereotyping of very intelligent and knowledgeable people is indicative of the problem I cite above.  

'Nuff said....

No, that's not enough said.  Re reading my above comment, the implication of Reddit's action is that after stereotyping me, they would have banned me, and thus the scientifically accurate statements I made would not have been in the discussion.

That's worth pondering a bit.  Along with the CERN Cloud data, and the somewhat worrisome sunspot lows, and something we really, really do not want... global cooling...
