    I put it in words for you. I gave you pictures. Videos maybe?

    Its funny though because you act like I give a whether you understand. We're waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond that point.
    What does that have in your favor for sea ice? Much of the sea ice of Antarctica is outside the Antarctic Circle. Virtually none of the Arctic ice is outside the Arctic Circle.

    What are you trying to say?

    Am I to assume you realized you point was invalid, so you won't tell me?

    OK... I will assume that you agree that I have a point when I point our that since you agree that observation equals causality, that soot is why the average northern sea ice is in retreat while the Southern sea ice isn't. And I'm not speaking of seasonal variations, but the long term changes.

    Since you're not man enough to say what's on your mind, I will. Wanting me to be a mind reader. ... That's what women do to us.

    If you're as bad at reading women as you are at reading English then I'm not surprised you'd have issues there.

    I get it Manny. You're tired of me always proving you wrong. That's why you want me to guess.

    I'll tell you what. let's try this again.

    Non of us disagree that the norther sea ice is retreating. Why is there no discussion about the southern sea ice? Is it because it has an upward trend?

    Since you AGW alarmist types like to use correlation to claim causality, I thought I would remind you that there is no large industrial buildup where the polar winds carry soot to the southern sea ice like the polar winds that carry soot from Asia over the norther sea ice. I'll bet if any of you looked at the increased levels of Asian industrialization, the retreat of the Northern sea ice follows that increase pretty good.

    You also equated socialism with the Soviets and communism.

    Where is the independent verified source that claims they are communist?
    This is a lie. Where is the quote from the article of me claiming they are communists?

    Also your Red Scare tactics are hardly my concern alone. Not resorting to it has been a cornerstone of intellectual conservatism since 1962:

    http://www.tnr.com/article/politics/...n-conservatism

    Even Bill would have thought you a hack.
    In the context of my article they are yours alone as my article has nothing to do with the, "Red Scare". I have never referenced Buckley to support an argument. Your obsession with him is entertaining though.

    I vote for the libertarian party all the time as I have not voted for either of the two parties in any election since 1998 and I vote in every national election. I always vote third party; many times that has been the libertarian party.
    I have a REAL hard time believing you vote for the Libertarian party, they are not the only third party on most ballots. The Green Party would fit your views better than the Libertarian party.

    Does that make me a libertarian?
    No but if you do not share a majority of their views, it makes you confused.

    Supporting a particular socialist policy neither makes one extreme nor socialist. Most Americans --myself included-- believe in a mixed economy. The acceptance of the notion of socialized medicine is pretty well split along party lines:
    Yes, it makes you a socialist. Supporters of a mixed economy are socialists. It is irrelevant to how well it is split across party lines as both parties contain socialists. Medicare Part D was socialist, so was the bailouts of the financial sector and the auto industry.

    Further an rust laws have been a foundation of american economic policy for over a century. At the same time most american's -myself included-- support our incarnation of property laws and subsequent liberty in forming our own businesses.
    The length that socialist laws have existed does not make them any less socialist. Property laws are part of the frame work for a capitalist economic system.

    Contrast that with the laissez faire political view: the libertarian party. They have never had a representative in the US congress nor have they received over 1.1% of the popular vote.
    This is true which is why I believe it is more effective to be a Libertarian in the Republican party. While the Libertarian political party has not had much success, Libertarians effectively have with Libertarian Republicans; Senator Rand Paul, Representative Ron Paul, Former Representative Mark Sanford and Former Senator Barry Goldwater among others.

    So those authors make false statements but you still went ahead and took their work? its cherry picking plain and simple. You just pick and choose to please your confirmation bias. the whole papers were peer reviewed not just the parts that you like.
    You really have a reading comprehension problem. My comment about them making false statements was in relation to why their paper was listed.

    You have dodged this,

    Why do the author's believe their papers were listed?

    You do not get to arbiter what is considered the totality of what is considered an acceptable skeptics paper nor have i heard any decent argument why either list needs to be exhaustive.
    Where am I claiming to be the arbiter of anything outside of what I actually think?

    Will you please quit asking the stupid question if I think their list is exhaustive or not. I do not contend that either the pro or the con arguments are exhaustive. Perhaps you will have a point at some point.
    You have dodged this,

    Does the Skeptical Science link include most of the peer-reviewed papers on my list? Yes or No?

    As for Idso, did he or did he not accept money from Exxon?
    ExxonMobil has given unsolicited donations to the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change which he is president. None of which has changed his position on the issue,
    "Clearly, one should not believe what we at CO2 Science or anyone else says about carbon dioxide and global change without carefully examining the reasoning behind, and the evidence for, our and their declarations, which makes questions about funding rather moot. It is self-evident, for example, that one need not know from whence a person's or organization's funding comes in order to evaluate the reasonableness of what they say, if - and this is a very important qualification - one carefully studies the writings of people on both sides of the issue. [...]

    That we tell a far different story from the one espoused by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is true; and that may be why ExxonMobil made some donations to us a few times in the past; they probably liked what we typically had to say about the issue. But what we had to say then, and what we have to say now, came not, and comes not, from them or any other organization or person. Rather, it was and is derived from our individual scrutinizing of the pertinent scientific literature and our analyses of what we find there, which we have been doing and subsequently writing about on our website on a weekly basis without a single break since 15 Jul 2000, and twice-monthly before that since 15 Sep 1998 ... and no one could pay my sons and me enough money to do that." - Sherwood Idso
    His objections to AGW Alarm date back to 1980 in the peer-reviewed literature, long before the center existed.

    Oh and as to your edit, I am not in a position to know whether or not he is lying. I certainly can see cause as to why he would be deceptive to their influence over him but that is nothing more than supposition.
    Has his position on AGW changed due to a funding source?

    Do you believe the rise in CO2 is anthropogenic in nature?
    I believe there is evidence to show it has had an anthropogenic component.

    These lib s do this all the time. They dismiss any paper, article, etc. if they can loosely attach an energy company to it.

    Its irrelevant. Yet, he brought it up.
    I brought it up as comparison to something that I have seen more compelling evidence for not as compelling evidence for global climate change.

    You give canned answers in your line by lines for the most part. its pretty obvious that you are practiced at arguments concerning your list. that is not the same thing as addressing every argument.
    If you could come up with an original argument that has not been refuted about the list I would not be forced to repeat myself. Regardless, I am typing every reply here except for the quotes and links. I have addressed every argument about the list ad nauseum.

    Also, you failed to elaborate on CO2's affect on the climate and what you meant by it not being a driver.

    The sun is the driver. Other factors are feedbacks.

    It is a typical propaganda tactic to smear credentialed scientists they emotionally refuse to accept simply do not agree with them scientifically. To them if a scientist does not believe in AGW Alarm they are obviously corrupt and "evil". If they did not believe this they would have to rationally consider their arguments and that would actually cause cognitive dissonance.

    It is emotionally easier for them to believe climate skeptics are all either conspiracy theorists, creationists, religious zealots, right-wing partisans, corrupt or evil.

    My opinion is it is observed to the point that the opinion has very relevant statistical significance.

    Good question as I do not believe this has been accurately determined. I am aware of the papers on this subject.
