If you're referring to me, you're being too kind. I'm just a know-something. Which still puts me streets ahead of some of the posters here.

I persistently present them with relevant data that undercuts their arguments,

Maybe, but they don't understand or change their mind - the only answer is ridicule - at least that makes you feel better.

Climate change denial, Homeopathey, Accupuncture, Brexit, Ephebiphobia and topics of that ilk are all psychological disorders and therefore immune to logic, reason and fact.

Got a link? Looks to me like some highly massaged data taken from a denialist website.

Possibly a bastardised version of this?

(3) Implicit endorsement

Implies humans are causing global warming. E.g., research assumes greenhouse gas emissions cause warming without explicitly stating humans are the cause   IMO the data was highly massaged in the Cook study. And I don't think that I bastardised anything, I just stated the numbers. The assumption was made by the people  who did the study. And some TVF members. BTW a whatsoever % of something is scientifically completely irrelevant. (would a stone not fall to the ground if there was a consensus against it?) My personal point of view is: Is there a global warming and sea levels are rising? I do have the feeling (looking at the beaches and the hot summers) and many scientists and data say so Is this man made? Possible, but I don't know Is the cure for the problem to buy emission certificates to equalize carbon dioxide offset NOT I can't see that there are many actions taken to protect us and our environment. I see that goverments and NGO's want to make a lot of money P.S. The word "climate denialist" does not make sense at all, you can't deny climate. But it might give you a hint why it's used

'...carbon sequestration in soil is important for mitigating global climate change'
