It is amazing that ANYONE swallows his garbage. Sadly, it is in indictment on just how many truly stupid people are around.

Wouldnt it have been easier to simply agree that Infowars is garbage, lee-trumpoid?  You just refuse to criticise the orange-dictator.

Plus I'd argue Snopes is believable since they either find sources and confirm or deny myth or so we have no sources and leave it uncofrimed

Lee-trumpoid needs to deflect from infowars and so he brings in snopes despite its very good reputation.

you deflected in classic trump-style, firstly by lying (snopes is a credible source) and secondly, by nor repudiated a clearly fake news site.

you are trumpoid from top to bottom.

Yadda, Trump lies. Trump lies all the time. Trump lies when there is no need to do so. Trump is a conspiracy theorist. He believe vaccines cause austim. He believes the Apollo missions were faked and he thinks the earth is flat.

It is time for you to start recognising that Trump is a sick, damaged and dangerous person.

Re Snopes- perhaps you remember this?-

"On 4 February 2017, the British tabloid Mail on Sunday (and the Daily Mail‘s online site) published an article by David Rose — a longtime proponent of climate change conspiracy theories whose analyses the scientific community widely regards as flawed and deceptive — alleging that scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) used misleading data in order to rush publication of a groundbreaking climate study and thereby “dupe” world leaders:"

http://www.snopes.com/2017/02/08/noaa-scientists-climate-change-data/

In the Mail on Sunday -

"This newspaper has learnt that NOAA has now decided that the sea dataset will have to be replaced and substantially revised just 18 months after it was issued, because it used unreliable methods which overstated the speed of warming. The revised data will show both lower temperatures and a slower rate in the recent warming trend.

The land temperature dataset used by the study was afflicted by devastating bugs in its software that rendered its findings ‘unstable’."

"A final, approved version has still not been issued."

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4192182/World-leaders-duped-manipulated-global-warming-data.html#ixzz4Zej9NDd4


Now nowhere in the Snopes piece does it address the fact that both the land and and sea datasets are unusable. Or that both need replacing. Instead they insist it was a mere oversight that the data wasn't archived. It makes no difference if the data wasn't archived if both datasets are faulty.

You would think that Snopes would address this very basic issue.

As for the Karl et al 2015 paper it has a self-admitted significance of 0.1. A good significance is 0.01, a reasonable one is 0.05. 0.1 is crap.

Perhaps you could critique what Snopes wrote about Bates and Karl.  ;)
