Dude:
You're arguing with a bot.
A week ago, I promised myself I wouldn't get drawn in. grrr
FWIW, I know who you are and all I can say is that you can't win. These
guys are impervious to facts, logic, rational explanations, and reference
to peer-reviewed studies. D-RoidRage has used this argument track
before, with people who also know radiative transfer even, so it's not
that this hasn't been explained to him already. My best guess is that
he's either a cleverer perl script than C-babe, or his mindset is that he
absolutely cannot accept the consequences of climate change being true,
Seems to go with the territory. Neocons and their bots consider it
their patriotic duty to inflict maximum environmental damage at every
possible opportunity.
Just in case there are any lay readers interested in the science of
atmosphere, radiative transfer and transparency CNES has a rather nice
introduction (from a CD ROM) online at:
http://ceos.cnes.fr:8100/cdrom-98/ce...e/dg/dgcon.htm
Most of the US dittohead lies can be easily debunked using data from
this remote sensing tutorial.
The main site root for the CD is
http://ceos.cnes.fr:8100/cdrom-98/ce...ce/science.htm
(site navigation is a bit quirky)
Exposing the denialists as pathological liars occassionally may do
some good, but continuing the thread is pointless after that.
But I would bet on the clever perl script explanation, most of what he
says he's said before, almost verbatim.
I doubt the dittoheads will ever accept GW. Heck even Shrub has
conceded that AGW is important. And some enlightened and intelligent
Republicans like Arnie are actually trying to do something about it.
Unfortunately in a country like the USA where more than 30% the
general population are clinically obese and cannot be bothered to look
after their own bodies there is really not much hope of them looking
after the planet.
