Keep it civil.
Seems like you're trying to augment your argument by asserting some sort of language dominance. Do you find that helps with other people?
You clearly privilege Judith Curry's work over the rest of the scientific community
Her work? Partially. I prefer her calm approach to Science that demands evidence and remains skeptical vs the all-too-often politically-driven one I see at the IPCC. That said, I read realclimate about as often as I read Curry's blog.
she's significantly outnumbered
Yeah, I'm significantly outnumbered by Miley Cyrus fans too. What of it?
crusso is an expert at saying climate scientists are evil
At the end of the day, we can't all understand everything. Lacking models that reflect reality, this is all just guesswork - so I'd prefer to rely on my understanding of what makes good Science.
- scarmig 13y agoSeems like you're trying to augment your argument Yes, it is. When someone's getting emotional about a topic, particularly a scientific one, it's useful to point it out, to rhetorically place yourself on the side of scientific, rational debate. You do the same thing one line down when you emphasize how much you prefer her "calm approach to Science." Her work Which work? Is it her scientific papers you respect, or her publicizing the evils of other scientists? outnumbered by Miley Cyrus fans too Miley Cyrus is great. But are you comparing the entirety of the climate science community to fans of a particular pop singer, when it comes to judging scientific credibility?
