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.
The warmers will skulk off into the shadows. When asked if they ever believed in global warming they will say, oh no not me. That was all a scam. They will never admit to the utter stupidity when it is all reveled. Peter
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.
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.
What is your purpose in posting on a thread that you are not going to post on that thread?
Can we expect a similar post from you on every thread you don't intend to post on?
Is the real purpose of your post above simply to hurl abuse about "malevolent intent" at those who's contributions you are unable to refute and which disturb your faith?

They should all be named and shamed.
There are scams in every corner of business and politics
The basic science of global warming is cornerstone. It was fully understood by the middle of the 19th century that the Earth's surface was warmer than it should be. Something was slowing down the escape of energy, that was discovered to be mainly CO2.
Do you deny this cornerstone of science?
The next trick of our glorious banks will be to charge us a fee for using net bank!!! You are no longer customer, you are property!!!

Of course this is based on the assumption you are right and the warmers are wrong. The fact is the camp that denies global warming is occuring doesn't care if it's man made or not! They just don't want to see their business model disturbed by cutbacks in fossil fuel useage. They want, YOU want, to see things continue just as before the subject was ever brought up. Australia's last summer was the hottest on record and resulted in thousands of excess deaths. This last 3 months has continued that trend. What will take it to wake up to the reality, the roads melting? That has already happened btw.
Perhaps the most pathetic post on this forum! I'll leave you to have the last word which I'm sure you won't be able to resist.
I've never claimed to be abandoning the discussion like you, so I've no qualms whatsoever about continuing to post, if that means I get the last word so be it.
I wonder if you'll finally keep to your word and run off?
Clearly you and Peter and the other alarmists are trying very hard to reassure yourselves that "the sky is falling" and to do that you trawl alarmist websites looking for some possible arguments that might vaguely support your case.
Lying to others is one thing, but lying to yourselves is just sad. The rise in sea levels this century are expected to be modest, and the alarmists other predictions are all failing to eventuate as well.
Face it, you alarmists have no qualifications at all in science, and the body of data points to no warming for two decades.
Buy hey, you have found your religion to worship, and that's the religion of ignoring the data, so best of luck with it and maybe you can sacrifice a chicken or two at the alter of false promise.
The Climate Commission has gone. The carbon tax is to be rescinded. The Australian Renewable Energy Agency is to be abolished. The promise of a "Million Solar Roofs" is broken. And in what can only be described as an ideological move, the Abbott government introduced bills to abolish the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, despite it making a profit last year. The Prime Minister has declared war on the Australian renewable energy industry, the environment and science itself.
The overwhelming scientific consensus on global warming is based on evidence, whether Tony Abbott chooses to act on it or not. A sceptic is someone who doubts accepted opinion; a denier is someone who refuses to accept fact. Scepticism is healthy, denial is dangerous, and intentionally dismantling the entire renewable energy industry of a country that is not only wealthy, sun blessed and windswept but also has the highest per capita CO2 emissions in the OECD is criminally reckless. Furthermore, it will cripple our future economic growth.
The global economy has embraced the renewable energy industry. Last year wind power grew by 25 per cent worldwide and solar power by 30 per cent. On May 11, Germany met 74 per cent of its electricity demand with renewable energy.
Germany, the strongest and largest economy in Europe, has only half the average solar resource of Australia yet has 10 times the capacity of solar PV panels. The Chinese economy is four times the size of ours yet they have 30 times as much wind power installed.
While we quibble about the intermittency of renewables, industries in Spain and the US have invested billions in solar thermal plants, many of which store heat and produce electricity long after sunset. Given our abundant renewable resources, we should be leading the world in research and investment, instead Abbott would have us squander our competitive advantage and destroy massive economic potential.

Just in case anyone thought that unregistered Dave has a coherent thought in his head, this is all plagiarised from another poster with an opposing point of view (on the climate change insurance thread), but with a few words changed here and there. Its OK to source material Dave, but you should attribute it to that source. Not good ethics, but to lie that climate change isn't an accepted theory by the scientists in that field shows you have none.
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. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? 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.
