Peterike, Oh come on now, he is most definitely a troll. I cannot imagine why anyone here is giving him the time of day. He has not even basic rhetorical skills, not to mention capacity for critical thinking. His “arguments” are shot full of fallacies, rationalizations, dodges and misinformation. He is masking the standard AGW rubbish in a cloak of middle-brow “reasonableness”, with a strong mixture of just risible high self-regard. This is a slightly more artful regurgitation of the usual vomit; he is just a better thespian than most trolls. The intent is surely a as vile as any of them. No one should be taken in by this, and I am rather surprised that some here do not see through the game.

Several folks are doing a good job of ripping him apart, and not only does he not see it, he does not even address their arguments. Intellectually (and morally) he is way out of place here. It is comic. He is not even a mediocrity and he most certainly does not mean well. A petulant, passive aggressive buffoon is what he is.

This “piece of work” nonsense is the tell. What a tedious waste of time.

I can only hope that some here wish to use him as a foil to further expose the incredible lunacy–and vicious assault on our nation, civilization, and liberties–that is AGW. These people are out to destroy us, and it does not matter if they are conspirators or useful idiots. Let us get clear about this.

Lazar is best ignored at this point. He is too vile of character to be educated, corrected or humiliated.
