No I am not an expert in the field. Should the experts have seen these questions? Yes. But did they? I don't know. We don't have the data presented to us. Often, the right questions are asked by those who are not experts in that field. Any gap in my knowledge can well be a reflection of the science. The question I asked about the removal of water vapour figures and why is simply not answered here. As a matter of course for publicly disseminated information, the reasoning for this removal should be explicitly available as well as all the graphs related to having the information included as well as what they presented. That is their responsibility if they want buy-in by the general public. As far as calling someone a troll for stating about non-political cooperation, I have worked for many different kinds of companies and organisations over the decades, private, public and government. In all of them, politics was a normal mode of life, except where certain people were able to protect their staff from it. When politics was not involved, we could achieve much and did achieve much. You demonstrate that politics is alive and well by using the word troll. I don't care about consensus, I care about the data and what it indicates for me and all the generations that follow. I am not interested in strategies that will be ineffective. Without the data we just don't know. If you want to believe the experts without them providing their full reasoning and assumptions, fair enough, you are entitled to that. But I want more, a lot more. I want the data so that it can be analysed by many people so that we can see what it shows. I want to know the assumptions made in the data collection and analysis done. I want to see what interactions are occurring that we can measure. I don't expect consensus, I don't expect agreement as to what it means. But I do expect enough people of different persuasions to get together to hammer out possible strategies for moving forward. If all we have is name calling, then we are not going to develop any effective beneficial strategies for moving forward. If questions are asked then they need answered, clearly and in detail. If these questions are not answered then a major problem exists. You don't build confidence in your expertise if you disparage those who are asking difficult or annoying questions. The important thing here is the collection of data and across a very broad range of fields. Without that publicly available data, with many eyes looking at it, do you really think somebody, anybody can come up with the appropriate strategies for the future? Climate change is inevitable, it is very real. What we can do to mitigate the effects effectively is dependent on much more knowledge than is currently available. We need to get that comprehensive data across all sorts of fields and get it fast.
