^^^ That's a place where "average" can be quite deceiving. The sun's atmosphere is rarefied but its core's density is up to 150 g/cm3, or 150x that of water.

And you'd be factually wrong. There is such a thing as being so open-minded your brains fall out, and you're unwittingly demonstrating this with your false equivalence.

His "argument" about Al Gore was hardly nuanced, he's just giving the argumentum ad Goram cover because he happens to sympathize with the deniers, and that's enough in my book.

Deniers have nothing interesting or worthwhile, or even reality-based to say at this point, so there's no point in annoying myself by reading their drivel.

Last winter's polar air mass stooging around the middle US for weeks was a surprise to everyone.

Oh, you're a denier.

*plonk*

You're wasting your time: you can't reason someone out of a position they weren't reasoned into.

Concern troll is concerned.

Your objection is completely meaningless and is a logical fallacy besides.

tl;dr: Dunning-Kruger.

Likewise, every time AGW is brought up some fuckwit will bring up Al Gore as though it proves something... besides that person's tribalism and ignorance, I mean.

Likewise, complaints about Agenda 21 are a certain indication that person wears a tinfoil hat.

What's the deal with posting as ACs, deniers? There's an awful lot of posters with those two attributes every time /. posts an article touching on climate change.

But the summary made it sound like it would be, and that's enough for deniers to latch onto.

Driving clicks.
