Paul Austin Murphy, you one funny fellow

 I just came across an article dedicated to me, oh my.

How What'sUpWithThatWatts Argues Against Global-Warming Skeptics  

By Paul Austin Murphy | American "Thinker"

{Actually Paul, I argue against professional liars.}

Unfortunately, all he does is bitch about who he thinks I am or am not and how much he dislikes my approach - not one word about the substance of my complaints regarding his dismissal of the evidence that manmade global warming is for real or the climate indicators I shared with him.

As for who I am, it's already been addressed:

Now back to the geophysical evidence I challenged Paul Murhpy with regarding the facts of how increasing our atmosphere's insulating ability is impacting our global climate system and all that depends on its rhythms.

 Been a while and I see Paul doesn't seem to want to engage in a discussion about evidence.  Why am I not surprised.  Learning about what's happening upon our planet isn't within that (those) American "Thinker's" intellectual capacity.

Our planet displays plenty of proof that warming continues, 
and at a frightening pace - you just have to poke around.

Cause of global warming hiatus found deep in the Atlantic Ocean
August 21, 2014
University of Washington
Observations show that the heat absent from the Earth's surface for more than a decade is plunging deep in the north and south Atlantic Ocean, and is part of a naturally occurring cycle. Subsurface warming in the ocean explains why global average air temperatures have flatlined since 1999, despite greenhouse gases trapping more solar heat at Earth's surface.

PS.

Mr. Murphy, 

skepticism is a joke without an honest desire to learn; keep in mind one directional skepticism, equals denial.

Skepticism is about asking questions and wanting answers and being open to best information available, even when that information steps all over previous understanding/belief.  It's not about winning or ego, it's about learning.  Skepticism is about not fully trusting anyone, not even yourself.  Skepticism is about weeding though nonsense and allowing the evidence to dictate what one trusts.

Why do you folks think understanding our climate system deserves such malicious contempt?  What's wrong with seriously learning about what's happening within this biosphere and climate system that we all depend on for everything?
