It's a closing declaration by Anthony, who precedes it by saying "we can finally call it a dead issue."<br /><br />Why would you try to rescue Anthony from it? Do you 'intend to deceive' or is it unintentional, or are you just arguing for argument's sake yet again? Or are you what you say you are.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-77198186594329190132013-09-29T12:04:52.992+10:002013-09-29T12:04:52.992+10:00"... continue to deceive, ..."

Re read the excerpts from the table that Watts reproduces above his sweeping pronouncement.<br /><br />And look in the table re droughts "low confidence on a global scale, likely changes in some regions [which are listed in footnote 'd']"<br /><br />How does that square with Watts decree?<br /><br />Another misdirection emerges: Watts quotes the IPCC SREX on loss attribution as though it discusses basic physical attribution; all they were saying was that property accounting tools did not clearly show a connection between climate change and extreme events [some of the RE groups beg to differ BTW]. Ledger balances are not physics and vice versa.<br /><br />Reading Watts is of no basic informative value; everything has to be unravelled and corrected,and reconnected to reality. It's exhausting ...Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09537772941984056434noreply@blogger.com
