Why don't you post a cite to support your (BULLSHIT) claim that AGW will
affect gravity "because the AC will be airborne along with the semis and the
containers that they were pulling."
After all that was YOUR claim

<YAWN>
I'll remind you that:
a) YOU are the simpleton making simplistic claims about water vapor
b) That water vapor claim goes COMPLETELY AGAINST the claim of the AGW
crowd, which claims it's CO2 that would directly affect planetary warming
and not water.
c) You also have clearly derailed in babbling about Laffer and Nixon
But hey, we're used to that. When you can't address the issue
either
- change the subject
- attack the messenger
- start babbling about something completely unrelated

I'm a couple of ranks above a mere meteorologist.
Actually I'm a mathematician and a Systems Engineer
I'm the type of guy the smart meteorologists would go to to design and
build their models.
(The stupid ones like the AGW and IPCC, try to cheap out, and instead of
hiring a decent professional like me, to build them a decent model that
would not only be able to back-check their data, but also project forward
without needing cherry-picking and cooking of the data, they cheap out and
screw the pooch by trying to do it themselves.
And then gullible "useful idiots" like you come forward to babble your
ignorance

How about 40 years of professional experience as a Mathematical and Systems
Engineer.
Also note that science is NOT a "consensus" thing.
It's a:
- "SHOW ME THE DATA" thing
- 'LET'S SEE IF WE CAN REPLICATE YOUR EXPERIMENT AND GET THE SAME RESULTS"
thing
- "LET'S RIP APART YOUR THEORY AND DATA AND SEE IF WE CAN RE-ASSEMBLE IT AND
GET IT TO REPEAT ITSELF" thing.
It's MOST DEFINITELY NOT, a "religious" thing where everyone is supposed to
toe the :party line".
It's supposed to be the EXACT OPPOSITE of that.
The history of science is stuffed full with individuals who stood up to the
MAJORITY opinion and "prejudice of the day" and proved them wrong. OVER and
OVER again, the most consistent element in the history of science is that an
outsider comes along and blows apart what the majority believe and defend
tooth and claw.
Whenever ignorati like you come along and claim that, since a great majority
of "scientists" agree, it must be true, and then ignore the questions that
are raised by the minority and try to denigrate that minority SOLELY BECAUSE
they are a minority, then I KNOW there is a pretty good chance that the
majority is WRONG.
Just read your history of science to KNOW why ANY intelligent gambler would
bet on the minority.
IT'S NOT EVEN A GAMBLE.
Now you know why I consider you an ignorant shithead
Because your head is FULL of IGNORANT SHIT
Both about science and about the history of science.
Come back after you have acquired an education on both subjects.
