That's your opinion. They're the same old unfounded hyperbole. The so-called backup was nothing but blog articles. Someone could spend all day throwing blogs back and forth. I could even post a bunch of material with cited references and it would get dismissed as mere youtube videos or even the sources themselves would get downplayed, no matter how scientifically authoritative.

The point of a discussion is to keep having things to counter the other person's argument. so far, you've only countered one or two with your own sources, but when they've countered with their own, you've sat down, stuck your fingers in your ears, and started calling them idiots.

If you expect me to sit here all day to acknowledge every asinine, dismissive brainfart that comes around, you are mistaken. If no one even bothers to convincingly explain the rationale behind dismissing a single reference to the entire field of climatology in favor of hyperbole and sources clearly reported to be motivated by the industry, the whole thing is equally as interesting to me as debating jesus with fundies.

I do not need to back my quotes up, my very evidence is your action in this thread.

So is mine.

Or perhaps it's me. Perhaps it's just me thinking that pictures of anime, with stupid quotes on them, don't count as arguments.

Given the claims referenced, it's sufficient argument. If somebody wants to elaborate specific, logical arguments beyond political hyperbole, I'm all for it. That is yet to show as the main point from these denialist folks and all others like them.

"Great global warming swindle" crockumentary: debunked, director unresponsive, now ignored. Solar, volcanoes, mist, clouds blamed on global warming and called natural: as debunked as creationism, including the unyielding believers. Now some unspecific email "hacking" is supposed to make all that go away along with the entire (clearly reported) motivation and sponsors behind denialism? Give me a break. I'm not going to care about 35 different copy-paste jobs about algore at some blog, nor about what anyone thinks about my response.
