Well, I can only predict your future actions based on your past ones, and given your posts in response to mine on this exact issue back when the emails first came out, there's no point in answering is there?

Not really no, the word liar could refer to someone who's told one lie (in that case everyone is a liar), or it could refer to someone who habitually tells lies. Because it's ambiguous (I don't know if this guy is a habitual lair or not, likely not) I chose to refer to the statement itself rather than the individual.

See, this is the kind of nonsense that makes a reasonable discussion impossible. Here's the chain of reasoning: Saying that a statement is a lie is apparently name calling, supposedly a common tactic among AGW zealots, implying that name calling is negative and shouldn't be done. So what do you do when someone DOES lie? You can't say so because it's name calling!

Not really no, it wasn't obfuscation it was misrepresentation. You don't like when it happens to you, but seem unable to refrain from doing it yourself.

So?

I would really like you to explain this.[/QUOTE]

I watched the rest of the video and the whole thing is a lie or a misunderstanding of what data was used and why. You are right it does defy logic, all his claims about what data is used and why are explained fully in the sources. Maybe he just didn't read the papers and listened to too many people who thought the emails were a smoking gun? Who knows, ask him, I can't explain someone else's motivations.
