Denier is so last year. The new mot juste is rejectionist.

thats right,
you keep playing with words. It may work for a while

Always best to do a quick spell check when correcting another's spelling. Only one 'l' in supercilious (Behaving or looking as though one thinks one is superior to others), mate.

Please do be careful climbing down from that high horse.

If you're going to nit-pick someone's typos, best to get your spellchecker out.

Only one 'l' in supercilious, mate.

Good point mate - why don't you repeat it endlessly. After all that is your usual style

Fair cop on the spelling - I can't spell, wot with being thick.

I noticed it when pasting the synonyms of pompous.

So thats my excuse I am thick as tulip - whats yours?

If there is uncertainty over CAGW, why do they call us 'deniers' ?

That's because of the dogmatic, semi religious status that man made climate change has obtained.

Incidentally I (and I suspect you have a similar view EO) don't deny that the climate may be changing a small amount as the result of man made CO2 emissions, but I also don't have sufficient credible evidence to think with any certainty that the changes aren't simply normal fluctuations.

decadal is a cycle that completes once every ten years, roughly

Thanks EO - I did know what that word meant as it is an english word not one made up by a pompous knob

Pompous:

knob: An obnoxious person (see Urban Dictionary)

decaldal - definition: couldn't be arsed to spell check a post correcting a numptie.

nitpicker: definition .... ?

Thanks - Just as I thought.

Your supercillious and patronising "Using just short words" statement was just that supercillious and patronising

Yet you couldn't help yourself and just had to throw in a few "clever" words you had read somewhere cos you thought they sounded good. (I didn't point out "vaiability" by the way)

You may be quite knowledgable about whatever it is you are constantly spouting on about - but to be honest you come across as a bit of a tool and incredibly boring.
I'll go back to not commenting on posts that include your particular ego puffing content - and frankly if my "nitpicking" has punctured that particular balloon I consider it a triumph.

Using just short words....

Nothing in science is certain.

It's always interested me how the doommongers would eventually climb down. The pigs did it by changing the mantra, 'four legs good, two legs bad' into 'two legs good'

It seems that the doomdsay merchants will do it by stating what has been blindingly obvious to the sceptics all along, and then adopt it as their very own position.
Of course they will have to square this with previous statements , but they will do this with spin and playing with words, not with science.

An AGW doomsday merchant will soon be as rare as a nazi in postwar Germany, so we should treasure pj, and not be too hard on him.

......... regional spatial scales and decaldal timescales.

I don't normally bother posting on these sort of threads.

But PJ given your statement about short words... what is decaldal?

Sorry to be a numptie but I do like to try to understand..............

Using just short words....

Nothing in science is certain.

The IPCC said that the warming of the climate system was unequivocal and it is highly likely that most of the rise is anthro... sorry, manmade.

This paper does not change that as it is about the problem of distinguishing between manmade and natural vaiability at regional spatial scales and decadal timescales.

I do not know how warm it will be in my village this time next week. But I can be reasonably certain that the UK will be warmer in average in June, than it was in March. Same thing.

About the only thing that is certain is that any new research will be distorted into a mistaken soundbite by Blaster of Bates.

Sounds to me like the scientists need a lot more time and a LOT more funding.

Well I think it's money well spent.

Who would have guessed, as we are told these scientists have established, that increased use of fossil fuels is actually unrelated to the increase in the world's population using them?

And that carbon emissions from fossil fuels will carry on increasing despite fossil fuels running out?

It takes a lot of funding to discover clever stuff like that.

Nothing another dozen Carbon taxes can't fix.
