Your "belief" is not based on evidence. Full stop. Name any dead, famous scientist. They upended the scientific conventional wisdom and accepted truth. If you could do that, you'd be in the history books. You can't. It's like arguing with he time cube guy, but not about what he is gonna publish next Tuesday, but the future of the human race in the balance. Do you get now why it is infuriating?

  Perhaps let's take a different tack. What year were you born in? If it was before 1985, I have a bet for you. If the global surface temperature for every month in 2017 is less than the temperature the year you were born, I will give you $2k. If the global surface temperature is greater in 2017, you owe me $1k. Wanna take that bet?

    For example, let's say you were born in 1980. If the global surface temperature average, according to NOAA, was greater in march of 1980 than it is in march of 2017, I will pay you $2k. If, on the other hand, march of 1980 was colder than march of 2017, you pay me $1k. Happy to put $24k into the reputable escrow service of your choice and wholly pay for the escrow fees myself, if you'll do the same with $12k, ensuring that the bet can last a whole year. I'm also happy to scale down, if that's too rich for your blood. It must be for the full 12 months, as I have found the educational value of this bet increases substantially if it lasts for more than a few months.

Great, I look forward to reading your peer reviewed papers. Do you have a published climate model I I can run through its paces? Until you do, all your protestations that you have 'evidence' for your beliefs are bullshit, in the technical sense of the term.
