Woha. What do you want to discuss?
Yeti — (archived)

I just wrote you with a concern- indicating a real flaw in the thinking of the AGW denialist perspective. Now, instead of discussing that, you want me to do what? Comment on your cut-and paste list of, as you say, 'prominent scientists'? Comment on the Oceans?

Could a list of 'prominent scientists' be wrong, sure. Absolutely. Happens every time there is a major shift in theory. Is this what you want to discuss? Could there be mechanisms that could explain why the ocean is not warming, or lags significantly behind the atmosphere, or even cools as the atmosphere warms? Sure, absolutely. I can rattle off a few mechanisms.

But here is what I won't do. I won't do your homework for you. IE, it seems like to me you want to just pull 'issue' after 'issue', and ask me or other 'amateur' AGW proponent to answer you, instead of you going to the literature (not 'skeptics' blogs) and answering the questions first for yourself.

What I also won't do is play 'whackamole' with you- where I answer your point or point out a problem only to have you switch tangents in the debate. Like you just did.

Please, by all means, lets begin by seeing how you address what I see as fundamental flaws in your reasoning, as detailed in my last post.
