Huge island of rubbish floating off California, 6x Size of Britain

You, or anyone else who has even basic reading comprehension skills, should be able to tell that I was describing the wasting of resources on a non-issue as "pathetic", not any person or poster on this forum, or a person anywhere else for that matter. In fact I would bet money you knew that. Subject and object is an important part of reading the written word, and I was clear on both counts. Saying the followers of the stuff were gullible might be considered in poor taste and a bit much, but I was not referring to or insulting anyone on this forum either and you know it.

You have your moderator status, and you decided to use it to 'show me' that I wouldn't besmirch CAGW and get away with it. Fair enough... you are after all a mod so you can do that. You took my post personally and decided to 'show me', and you did.

But stop trying to pretend it's some noble effort to prevent me from 'trolling' or 'insulting' anyone. I did neither. You just abused your mod status and I can live with that no problem, obviously you can too because you did it.

Don't clothe yourself in some nonsense of 'it was such an egregious display my conscience could no longer restrain itself' and the like. You just look silly doing that. All of the direct insults and mocking posts on this forum that whiz by day by day... please.

Guess what - I don't know who you are, but it appears that you would be one of my half-addled "friends" from real-life. In any event, I'm not quite sure how to take the tenor of your posts... As you appear to follow me about this forum... Should I be flattered? Insulted? Happy? Angry? I can't quite figure it out... (And yes I anticipate your imitation inebriated reply.)

In any event, note the "I confess to merely skimming this thread" in my post. I apologize for not acknowledging your allusion to a similar observation. It was not meant as an insult, but it is rather unsurprising considering I already said I hadn't read this thread in detail - won't make that mistake again where you're involved - so, please, apologies all 'round.

Nonetheless, regardless of who first mentioned it, do you not agree something should be done about these floating "islands" of trash? If so, what's your idea? It should be possible to do something useful with them - hence my proposal to try and gather the trash together, do something practical with it, or at the very least make sure that your "average person" is aware of their existence.

What say ye?

Absolutely.

Good show, and good form btw.

I'll try to choose a different tone in the future. I could have easily avoided the use of the word "gullible" in my post, and probably should have.

 

Time, money, propaganda... takes a lot of resources to keep up appearances. Also took a lot of fuel for all the jets and then for the limousines to cart those "dignitaries" to and fro between their important meetings and the brothels when in Copenhagen.

But you really overstepped your bounds with the "weak-minded" remark. Are you a PhD in economics like Dr. Rajendra Pachauri. Certainly climate science is lucky to be graced by people who know money. After all, it takes more than a weak mind to figure out how set up carbon taxes and carbon reparations.

Hmmm. I think you have a point there. Seems many things slip unnoticed, but every once in awhile, a single comment catches all hell. Mods sometimes have extremely selective criticism.

 

Shoot it into spaaaaaace!!! I wonder if you can see these islands on google maps.. has anyone tried?

But seriously.. that sucks.
