AGW denier, yes, but not even a young-earth Creationist, never mind a
flat-earther.

There is no difference between denying AGW and being a flat-earther
(or a young Earth creationist, or an anti-vaxxer). The mentality is
identical.


This is complete bull plop. There are many points about AGW that are
questionable to anyone with an open mind.


Yeah. Like the kind of feedback clouds provide. Not the fact that the
Earth is warming dramatically and the cause is the human release of
fossil carbon into the atmosphere.


Unsubstantiated assertion. Correlation doesn't necessarily imply
causation.

That isn't questioned at all,
except by flat-earthers like yourself.


See? You resort to Nazi tactics instead of cogent discussion. You
violate many admonishments from Sagan's baloney detection kit:

https://www.brainpickings.org/2014/0...it-carl-sagan/

Things one shouldn't do:
1. Ad hominem attacks
2. Argument from authority
3. Argument from adverse consequences
12. Post hoc, ergo propter hoc

Things you should do:
2. Encourage substantive debate
4. Spin more than one hypothesis
5. NIH
9. Falsifiability

One can only conclude that YOU are full of baloney :-)
