Brandon Of a Thousand Tweets

Brandon S has been tweeting non-stop for hours saying what a big bad bully I am, knowing that I can’t respond to him. Brandon got very angry with me a couple of years ago for pointing out the progressive alterations to temperature data being made.

    When you argue with someone about an issue like sports, disagreeing who was a better hitter in a previous era versus someone from today, you would just disagree about it and probably laugh and share a beer. But when you have the temerity to disagree with a true believer regarding AGW, especially when you show them the actual charts which have dramatically changed over time and always to the same outcome of enhancing a supposed warming trend, it really is identical to having challenged the person’s religious beliefs. Even the term they use in derision, “denier” is evidence that you are not arguing in a scientific realm. These people become completely unhinged, a characteristic that seems to be becoming more animated as their science comes under severe scrutiny and challenges. It really is something to behold.

      It’s ironic. They DENY the facts that are plain to see. Yet those who set the record straight are “deniers?”

      That is such an important point! Propaganda almost always has an emotional mechanism to it. No one tries to teach Newton’s Laws of Motion by showing how devastated the world would be if they were not followed; they are simply true or not true and there is no need to push emotional buttons, no need to show little children or cute baby seals when discussing physics. IF (notice how big that “IF” is?) CAGW were true, the simple facts would show it, and we would not need to be emotionally manipulated with scenes of disaster and staving people. Put simply, because CAGW is false, you CANNOT convince someone of CAGW by showing them the facts. Every CAGW supporter you meet will have embraced the idea by being emotionally manipulated into accepting it. When you fight someone’s emotional beliefs be prepared to encounter emotional resistance. They may parrot some out of context numbers or altered data as smoke screen, but be assured. that thin veneer of pseudo-understanding never goes very deep. Their primary response will be anger and scorn, and it will be personal!

      That response of anger and scorn is a hallmark of non-factual belief on almost any subject, not just CAGW.

    Steve,
    What’s Brandon’s twitter address?

    I’ll just be sure to include him on every one of your posts. I’m sharing all your posts on Twitter.

    You should make a deal, you won’t call them “Nazis” if they don’t call you a “denier”. Would they ever go along with that? Absolutely not. Without their “denier” nonsense, they have nothing else to respond with.

    Never descend to the level of a fool. People may not be able to tell who is who.

    OT, but here’s what happens when government wages a war against CO2 “pollution” by raising taxes on fossil fuels to insane levels, forcing car manufacturers and drivers into more “efficient” diesel vehicles:

      “Diesel was supposed to be the answer to the high carbon emissions of the transport sector, a lower emitting fuel that was a mature technology – unlike electric or hydrogen cars. In the early 2000s the Blair government threw its weight behind the sector by changing ‘road tax’ (vehicle excise duty) to a CO2-based system, which favoured diesel cars as they generally had lower CO2 emissions than petrol versions.

      It inspired British car makers to invest heavily in a manufacturing process that most countries outside Europe have ignored. In 1994 the UK car fleet was only 7.4% diesel. By 2013 there were 10.1m diesel cars in the UK, 34.5% of the total. “

    He hit me with 4-5 tweet responses; found me to be supportive of you, fair and unwilling to take his bait so he left me alone. Reason should always win, with these guys it just seems like it is going ging take a long tme,

    One thing that bothers me is when someone calls for moderation in a conversation when the truth whacked in their face, so they call someone a bully or any other word in resort, with, works as a contrast to the word “asking moderation”. It’s like in politics, they want to make the opponent who’s telling the truth a meek dog and that what he said is not a personal opinion because it sounded a insult to question the intelligence of a insect.

    Sorry. my english.
