Weak sauce. It's not really about me. It's about your position you can't seem to defend without sophomoric ogical fallacies.

Next time you retake the course(third times the charm!) maybe you will make it to the point where you realize how dumb you look trying to apply bandwagon fallacy to issues of overwhelming scientific consensus. Is the next step in weak retorts gonna be an appeal to solipsism? That should be fun.

Would you call me referencing the first law of thermodynamics bandwagon nonsense as well?

Though I guess the more interesting question is, what exactly do you object about the greenhouse effect? Scientifically speaking? Or was that really just an attempt to make you feel like that overpriced online course taught you something?

Your article says otherwise. It's neither the highest in terms of wind speed, nor the most intense in terms of barometric pressure.

It is seriously going to wreck whatever it touches, though.

How much stronger and bigger is this compared to Hurricane Gilbert?


This or Camille. They don't know how fast the winds were because it blew away gauges. Gilbert was a huge storm.

Sorry to disappoint, but reportedly he survived. The island is pretty much destroyed. His island was pretty much in the worst part of the storm.

It's been over a decade since a Cat 3 made landfall in the US.

I am curious to see his remarks after this one. 185 mph winds with gusts up to 220 mph. I bet at one point even he thought staying was a serious mistake.

False equivalence. Classic thermo isn't comparable to the theory of AGW. But it was a nice attempt.

The attribution-with no evidence-of every single weather event to: "muh climate change" is... silly. Oversimplifed single-variable models of the climate system like you present are... silly. The more complex modeling is so full poorly constructed thermo, cooked boundary conditions, uncontrolled residuals, and strucural integrity that they are,,, sillly. The AGW acolyte community's tolerance for poor work (as long as it reaches the 'properr' conclusion) is...silly.

I have no idea why you feel the need to make up stories in your head.

For someone that wants to appear like he learned enough to lecture people about fallacious reasoning, anchoring half your response to a straw man makes you look kinda foolish TA.

Nowhere have I asserted every weather event is due to climate change, the argument from the consensus is that climate change affects the frequency, severity, and stability of climate phenomena, not that it magically is the reason for every rainfall. But the fact you are reaching for such preposterous straw men indicates either you 1.) have no better argument to offer, or 2.) really don't even grasp the basic science on this subject.

Now, back to my question, do you or do you not accept the ironclad scientific consensus on how the greenhouse effect works?

""According to the NWS, Irma is already the strongest storm ever in the Atlantic (not counting those that reached the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico). And it’s not far off from the all-time record hurricane wind speed of 190 mph.""

So why the qualifier in parenthesis? Why don't they mention those that DID reached the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico? And WHEN they reached those areas?

I am not a GW denier, but the slant in almost every story is the fact that THIS is what we can expect from now on. They said the same thing after Katrina and how did that work out for the zealots?

Gilbert...888mbar, wow. 185MPH sustained winds. sounds about like Irma.

Keep arguing against the person, it's the high mark of true intellectualism.

Never said you did. You asked why I have a problem with the "science" of "climate change". That's exactly what I did.

Make the case. Let's see your energy balance, and what Harvey's rainfall "should" have been. Attribution without proof isn't really "science"... but many portray it that way. It's silly.

You''re going to have to quantify "works". In thermodynamic terms. Otherwise, I can't agree to your bumper sticker memes.

I think the point is that those others reached their peak strength in the carribean, not the Atlantic.

Quit crawfishing, do you believe in the greenhouse effect? Yes or no.

Is Branson the one who burns unfathomable amounts of fossil fuels with his airline, personal aircraft, and space excursions?

Yeah...he can eat a bag of dirty aids dicks.

believe? As in have faith without understanding? Nope. Odd your "science" requires belief rather than evidence.

And it's not crawfishing to say you need to quantify something in scientific terms rather than vague bumper sticker generalities. You appear unable to accomplish that.
