On Bellcurve, I will stick to what I said in my original post.
"Personally I try to listen all sides (except the ones who are just name calling or appealing to an infallible higher authority)."
I proposed 3 conclusions in the hope of an adult discussion and happy to have one with you since you conduct yourself as an adult.
I stated that I was trying to be brief and general to cover an overview, see where similarities and differences lay then discuss points of view.
For example, many on HC have stated that the climate is not changing very much at all. If that was their viewpoint then the discussion would focus on that point since if that is not agreed there is not much point discussing the rest.
From previous discussion I think you would agree with 1. the planet is warming and 2. how and why the climate changed in past before man-made CO2 is important to how we assess the present. On the 3, how much our added CO2 affects future climate is the certain - I know we have a different opinion.
I was proposing that different people focus on different aspects and time scales and this can lead to a different conclusion. I then admitted that as a geo I am prejudiced to the past and reminded myself to keep an open mind.
In conclusion many discussions are repetitive and unstructured and I was hoping for something more structured and mature, getting to the details where needed.
