    Right… where did I say anywhere in this comment chain that I was the world authority on the subject? Did you want to have a discussion with someone, or are you just bored and wanted someone on the internet to argue with?

      I wanted a discussion but what I got was someone making up reasons they totally know I’m wrong but can’t provide any argument more compelling than ‘my wife said…’

      And who lets remember lied in the first comment and claimed to have read lots of research into this but has now totally backtracked from that.

        Where did I lie? Do you think I sit around reading research papers all day, or that I just read articles about it for the most part, the same way you do? I’ve looked up research on these subjects, and frankly, most of them are behind paywalls, bcz journals don’t allow people to access them without a subscription, or an affiliation with a university. So, no, I most just read paper abstracts bcz I’m not a climate scientist. That doesn’t mean I’m lying when I sat I’ve seen a lot of research on the topic. In any case, this is getting dumb. Have a nice weekend, thanks for wasting both of our time.

          I don’t know but the effort you’ve put into making claims about your totally real and deep understanding of this subject you could probably have read one and actually learnt something.

          You’ve so far made exactly zero statements that demonstrate any knowledge at all of anything related to the subject at hand, you’ve however written pages about how qualified you or your absent wife supposedly are on the subject… Do you really not see how this looks exactly like the behaviour of someone that doesn’t know what they’re talking about but wants to convince people of the thing they feel should be true because it confirms their other biases?

          Do you think people don’t notice when you ignore every technical or fact based point I raise and instead focus on trying to bulster your precueved authority status? When you ignore the statements of genuine authorities in the field like the USAF and NASA do you really think people are going to see it and say ‘well his quadruple doctor wife who’s away at a conference said nuh so two of the most respected aviation authorities in the world probably don’t know what they’re talking about…’

          And based on your claims this is the part of the argument which should be easiest for you to show knowledge in, easiest for you to construct an argument about - and no you can’t pretend you don’t have the inclination if you’re going to write so much about your wife’s credentials to try and convince me instead.
