I will agree, all GW alarmists are idiots and/or liars.

This. If we--as a species-- cannot adapt to an average 1.7 degree temperature change over the course of a century... we suck as a species and deserve what we get.

There's a legitimate scientific argument to be made. The evidence isnt nearly as overwhelming as many claim, but man driven climate change isnt without any scientific backing.

Its an issue that both sides politicize and 98% (completely made up number) have no understanding whatsoever of the science.

Actually, that is exactly what you manufactured, even by your own tacit admission.

I live with a scientist. I know all her colleagues. I've never met one of them who doesn't explode when someone suggests that global warming isn't science.

I wouldn't "explode, but I'd certainly raise eyebrows if someone made that assertion. Who has argued here that Global Warming is not Science?

It is a science. But although it is related to several hard sciences, it itself really isn't one. It's a science in its infancy, something like macro-econ. Seems like both need a gigantic dose of humility administered- they speak their conclusions with far too much certainty.

Put differently, I have had conversations with "scientists" who used the generic term "Global Warming" to specifically reference their belief in Warmist Theory. By the end of the interchange they've understood their mistake in terminology.

If they'd fire a professor for that, they'd burn a study that challenges anthropogenic Global Warming.

That makes them narrow minded and stupid. It's supposed to be an institution of higher education, not a cult.

I was just referring to climatology as a field. Just saying that I do not believe it is yet capable of producing the certain conclusions that environmentalists pretend it can, nor do I believe that it will be very soon.

Right.

Bayou Sam OTOH claimed to be surrounded by Scientists who apparently don't distinguish between Global Warming and AGW.
