What you have done is reach a bunch of erroneous and badly misguided conclusions from media supplied information and a poorly developed idea of how science works and the ways and means it employs to do what it does. It is embarrassing to be so uninformed and to speak with such assurance, or even assumed authority.
So you belong to the vinegar school rather than to the honey school then.
Henceforth I'll not respond to anything you have to say here, enough is enough, you've blathered your way into an epic FAIL and I want no part of it, thank you very much.
If you're not enjoying it then stop. It's a pretty good policy.
I also have to say, though, that, despite your valiant efforts, you're probably wasting your time ... because Leonidas has shown us time and again that he hasn't got the scientific chops to get it nor the desire or interest to develop any scientific chops so that he might come to get it. His misundertanding of what Phil Jones said is proof enough. His inability to grasp the nature of sea level corroborates the thesis that he has no clue. His insistence that personal observations from a single point in a given moment of time have weight in reaching conclusions does the same thing. The man simply has no idea what he's talking about.
Single moment in time? I'll have you know that I have over 50 years of unscientific, casual and non-peer-reviewed observations of the weather and the sea from the times when I have visited the sea front. I appreciate that I have no qualifications in looking at the sea and no scientific training in sea looking but I get along pretty well without all that. Sea-level has not risen and all the scientific theories, models and text books cannot change that. Do you never visit the seaside? I recommend it, it can be bracing, clears the mind of a lot of unnecessary clutter.
Another nice day today. Another day and the world hasn't ended. Stop all the worry, it isn't going to happen.
