Jeb, Boris, Greenpeace Mouthpiece, or whatever your true name is…Your personal smears of me are a clear demonstration that you are trying to ‘shoot the messenger’ because you know the statements I have made in this forum are undeniably true.

You and Boris (not me) had already begun trading the insults before I responded to you.
Pointing out your ties to the coal industry and the Leipzig Declaration are not ad hominem in any meaningful way. Beyond this I have only addressed your arguments and assertions. You have spent precious little time addressing these in preference to the discussion of your industry connections and insulting Boris, Greenpeace, and myself (I am connected to neither). As far as I am concerned more time than necessary has been spent on that and I must give you credit for playing the victim card well. Congratulations on that.
Now if you would respond the the substance of my previous post.

I see you hold onto the 1998 date despite the obvious anomaly of a strong El Niño that year. Choosing an anomalous year particularly the year of such a strong anomaly provides misleading information yet you continue to do so. An example to illustrate the value of using 1998 as the start date would be to choose start dates before and after 1998. Choose any of the three years before or after 1998 (1995-97 ot 1999-2002) as the start date and there is a clear warming trend continuing to the present.

You have also failed to address your misuse of Jacobson’s research to say something that he has demonstrated disagreement with.

The Leipzig Declaration and the minority report both misrepresented the views of scientists included without their consent or knowledge.
