Not quite, I skip the title and read the conclusion.

Nope.

Nice try.

Bluffing as usual.

Be fair - he might read conclusions. Absolutely no chance he understands them though.

He rarely reads more than the title, so clearly reading takes huge effort for him. He interprets articles as supporting his point when they're the complete opposite. "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength" - to him it's an instruction manual, not a cautionary tale.

That's all fine and dandy unless you live down stream.

Without your citing the post to which you're responding I can only guess as to its content.  Having said that, given that a very large amount of the interaction here is one variation of ad hominem or another, where do you draw the line?

translation: Brent couldn't read the paper. Didn't make it past the title.

edit: and also: as a consequence of the above - he doesn't have any idea whether they're conclusive or not.

Nah, just classic trolling at work. With success.

In this case it's drawn at natural variation, of course.

As I thought, nothing conclusive.

That isn't what you thought, or at least not what you questioned. Let me repeat it for you, if scrolling back up is too hard for you:

"are you still getting your “science” from left wing media?"

Which really brings us back to a frequently posed question, all the best people are asking it: can you state your name without fucking it up?

It's not entirely clear which rules and guidelines are still in play. Trolling is clearly not prohibited any more, although I had noticed the most recent overt troll seems to have disappeared in the last few days, so maybe there are SOME limits.

Meanwhile, here in reality:

At least 43 are dead after Ida causes flooding in four states

At least 43 people were killed, many of them in basement apartments, in a storm caused by the remnants of a hurricane that struck New Orleans days earlier.

The deluge of rain on Wednesday — more than half a foot fell in just a few hours — turned streets and subway platforms into rivers. Emergency responders in boats rescued people from the rooftops of cars. Hundreds of people were evacuated from trains and subways.

I'm actually interested in hearing his justification for his conclusion, mainly:

• what his criticism of the papers were (methodology, equipment, sample size, etc?)
• what his criteria for "conclusive" was (p<0.05?)

But I expect he won't be saying anything, for obvious reasons.

As for the discussion I wasn't attacking him, I was just backing up my hypothesis (that he didn't read it) with evidence.

Yep. I've been tripping on the different pics tonight. Not to party stomp but it makes me think how impossibly short lived our silly civilization will likely be and, in deference to my betters, how akin our existence is to a Rorschach Blot.

Understandable sentiment when looking at “baby” stars that are maybe five times as old as homosapiens. At least in our corner of the ‘verse we can know we made a difference. We’ll have created quite a layer of cow & chicken fossils to mark the anthropocene.

Things not learned by Slim during his vacation:

    - That rumble.com is a far-right clickbait site that nobody with critical thinking skills will ever take seriously

Quoting a science denial site to try to argue against the science of climate change is like quoting Osama bin Laden to argue against terrorism.

As the season draws to an end... Did we have more or less hurricanes than average? Are we in Crisis?

The only thing in crisis is the narrative that higher levels of CO2 will result in more frequent tropical cyclones.
