After a month in a mini ice age, the UK winter weather has become

I wrote nothing whatsoever that would justify your comment,
nor did I imply it.

Your attempt to associate me with such ignorant concepts
(not knowing the difference between climate and weather)
is offensive. *Please do not do it again*.

Unfortunately this kind of misrepresentation and
cherry-picking data appears to be all too prevalent
in the denialist community. Anybody reading your
comments with an open mind would start to doubt your
sincerity. It does the denialist cause no good whatsoever.- Hide

Being a bit touchy aren't we Tom?

No, I'm not. I dislike other people putting silly
opinions/statements into my "mouth".

If you want to present AGW/Climate
Change as a religion (which it seems to have become), then I am
neither a believer or a disbeliever (denialist), but an agnostic. The
latest data on World temperatures, which show a slight cooling, do not
correlate with the theory, so that is why.

Unfortunately the UK Government have taken AGW into its policies, so
they have introduced various taxes and duties that are based on CO2
emissions. They are therefore trying to control and tax our population
based on an unproven scientific theory, which is what I particularly
object to!

I'm sorry, I seem to have missed the causal connection
between those beliefs and your comments that I object to.- Hide quoted text -

Eric,

Obviously you must have some professional connection to the AGW scam.

I think the same assertion could be made about you, but on the
opposing side!- Hide quoted text -

I am not a professional climatologist, so I have no financial interest
in the topic of AGW, other than a desire not to be controlled and
taxed by my Government on the basis of CO2 emissions. I am a trained
and qualified scientist in a different field, so I am used to
evaluating data. I think I can spot dodgy and biased data being used
for political purposes when I see it.
