I often, but not always, agree with your posts on the property threads, you're one of the saner people on here. Thanks for the advice. I do get a bit frustrated with the climate change deniers and feel the compunction to challenge their idiocy. I think your approach is the best one, you cannot educate them so why bother. They just don't want to know. I wish I'd seen this post a few days ago.
Yes you have made your position perfectly clear and in line with your fellow travelling scaremongerers.
You (and Fraser) simply abuse the people you disagree with using bogan "idiocy" remarks and and refuse to engage with them and even conspire with others to throttle debate on the internet on the basis of your own pious and sanctimous think you know it all crap.
Applying your abuse to people with far more brains and knowledge of the climate than yourself reveals the desperate poverty of your case. You clearly have little faith in your position which refuses to engage with the work of people like Richard Lindzen, Judith Curry etc yet you never have a bad word for the works of ever wrong Gore, or the lying and discredited Michael Mann, Phil Jones etc or the IPCC chairman seeking billions for his personal commercial empire through IPCC lies.
Here's some more reviewed climate science which your closed mind will refuse to accept and which you will no doubt ignore on the basis of your belief that the authors must be idiots.

New paper finds Antarctic temperatures were warmer in 1800's and 1940's
A new paper published in the Annals of Glaciology shows Antarctic air temperatures were warmer during the early 1800's and 1940's in comparison to the end of the 20th century. The authors find evidence of a quasi-periodic climate cycle lasting 30-50 years, with at least 5 climate shifts over the past 350 years, the last beginning during the 1970's.
According to the authors, "The correlation of the newly obtained record with the circulation indices of the Southern Hemisphere (SH) shows that the central Antarctic climate is mainly governed by the type of [natural] circulation in the Southern Hemisphere: under conditions of zonal circulation, negative anomalies of temperature and precipitation rate are observed, whereas the sign of the anomalies is positive during meridional circulation."
The paper adds to many others finding nothing unusual or unprecedented regarding the natural and cyclical changes of Antarctic climate over the past century.

This is the equivalent of a small child putting his hands over his hears and shouting 'LALALALALA' to drown out anything he doesn't want to hear.
You are doing exactly what you accuse the 'deniers' of doing - i.e. refusing to be educated, and ignoring new data.
As new data comes out, it destroys the false theories and predictions that the alarmists have been spruiking for years.
The tide of data and public opinion is increasingly turning against the alarmists.
Global temperatures haven't been rising for two decades, and Antarctic sea ice coverage is at record levels, debunking the myth that the warming is now hiding in the oceans. Over the next few decades global temperatures will be trending down. It will be very amusing to watch the alarmists spin this cooling as just another 'counter-intuitive sign' of man made global warming.

My pleasure Steve. You can sit back and watch them perform now.
Any expressed market opinion is my own and is not to be taken as financial advice
You mean you can avoid having to address any of the hard questions by feigning disinterest.
I did a couple of years of boxing when I was young but that doesn't mean there is an onus on me to step into the fray every time I see two drunken idiots hard at it.
I just let them go.
What do you do?

When I don't want to get involved in something I simply don't get involved. I don't repeatedly and loudly alert everyone to the "fact" I'm not interested, while high-fiving other people on my "side" and making disparaging comments about the "opposition". That's like the opposite of not getting involved. That's the opposite of "just letting them go". You're feigning disinterest, (badly, might I say) rather than actually being disinterested. Which as I said is your way of avoiding having to address the tricky points raised. If you're **REALLY** not interested don't reply to this post, don't get involved in the discussion any further, and "just let them go".
Now that I'm warmed up it's time to bring out the big guns and totally smash the feeble logic of Kulganis, Peter, Count, et al.
This was published in Nature, one of the most eminent scientific journals.
"Whether there is any such thing as a paper so bad that it cannot be published in any peer reviewed journal is debatable. Nevertheless, scientists understand that peer review per se provides only a minimal assurance of quality, and that the public conception of peer review as a stamp of authentication is far from the truth."
My pleasure Steve. You can sit back and watch them perform now.
Previously I entered these debates to counter the deniers' ignorance (or malevolent intent in the case of the paid bloggers) in case anyone genuinely looking for information came into a thread. From now on, once the point is made, to continue the 'conversation' would be feeding the trolls. Black Panther/Strindberg the same person? From now on I'll be sitting back. Thanks again.
Another who feels compelled to comment repeatedly to say he won't be commenting.
Not sure if English is your first language but if it is, you should have realised it was a comment directed at Peter rather than a contribution to the debate. Now you can say, "Hey, he's posted ANOTHER ONE!!!!!!". Jesus, great contribution you've just made. If you want to contribute to the forum, maybe get yourself registered.
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash.

These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
