As it turns out I’m not ready for John Bates just yet. Still wrestling with Fyfe 2016, I realize I need to write a summary, sort of an elevator pitch for very busy scientists.
For now I thought I’d share this recent and all too typical “dialogue” with a Republican sort of climate science “skeptic” as an example of what climate science communicators are up against. This comes from a single YouTube comments thread and is intended for the curious student of the rhetorical tactics of denial - here's a case study in stonewalling.

What about IPCC for example? What's your gripe with them?
The only thing I'm suggesting is that people need to stop lying about what the scientists are actually say. Soon has a habit of grossly misrepresenting what the actual science is, so it's easy for him to destroy his own straw men in front of his fawning uncritical under-educated audience.
Unidirectional Skepticism equals Denial

Dale writes: citizenschallengeYT, Perhaps, rather than taking the time to list the dozens (maybe hundreds) of problems with the solely political IPCC, which has as its mandate to demonstrate how mankind affects climate, to the exclusion of all others (natural processes), you simply need to read the expose, The Delinquent Teenager, by Donna Framboise.

Why Climate Science Deniers Have No Credibility - In One Pie Chart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dale, a last thought. This "CAGW" you speak of - can you explain it. I know what the words mean, I want to understand what the concept means to you. I'm also curious if you can justify, or at least explain, your apparent contempt for the notion?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dale writes: Although not unexpected, I'm still amazed how most of those pushing the political catastrophic anthropogenic global warming agenda, feel they have to resort to wild and unsupported statements and accusations while claiming that everyone who disagrees with them is lying.
Disappointingly, you've apparently felt the need to follow this obtuse mantra.{CC: Notice that Dale ignores that I have written over an dozen papers detailing LaFramboise deception, chapter by chapter offering specific supporting evidence for my claims.
The stuff of serious effort, in that I recorded my thoughtful arguments and evidence. If I am stupid or mislead then why not show me the errors of my ways - by disputing the facts and arguments I presented, instead of deriding me for being a high school graduate. My whole life has been about learning and allowing new and better information to correct or modify assumptions that turned out flawed. }
Once again, my type (my real type) only states/writes climate points which can be supported with actual data and scientific research.
You obviously have no idea how the IPCC functions and obviously haven't read Donna's book (I have, by the way - it's part of my library).
As I have no further use for you or anyone who makes up their "own" facts,{CC: Donna LaFramboise’s adolescent tattle piece, says more about Donna's insecurities and resentments than anything else. It is no guide to how the “IPCC functions”. What the hell can ya do with such bubble?}
For what it's worth, about the IPCC
IPCC History
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established in 1988 by two United Nations Organizations, the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme to assess “the scientific, technical and socioeconomic information relevant for the understanding of the risk of human-induced climate change.” Review by experts and governments is an essential part of the IPCC process. For its first task, the IPCC was asked to prepare, based on available scientific information, a report on all aspects relevant to climate change and its impacts and to formulate realistic response strategies.
The first assessment report of the IPCC served as the basis for negotiating the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Since then, the IPCC has remained the most important source for the Convention’s scientific, technical and socio-economic information. The relationship between the UNFCCC and the IPCC has become a model for interaction between science and decision makers. Several attempts have been made to establish a similar assessment process for other environmental issues.
While those may be problematic, a definitely harmless way of killing time for an individual is browsing online sports betting websites which surely minimizes one's ecological footprint.
What unique features help the IPCC succeed in its mission?
- Its reports are policy relevant but not policy prescriptive.
- The IPCC emphasizes scientific integrity, objectivity, openness and transparency
- Reports go through a rigorous review process that involves many experts around the world, and is open to all member governments.
- The success of the IPCC also depends on the enthusiasm and cooperation of thousands of experts from all regions of the world that have contributed over the years to the preparation of IPCC reports as authors and reviewers.
Back to Dale: I will leave you with this one point which you obviously "again" have missed.
Under the heading, 1. Scope and Approach of the Assessment 1.1. Mandate of the Assessment, it states, “The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established by World Meteorological Organization and United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) in 1988 to assess scientific, technical, and socioeconomic information that is relevant in understanding "human-induced climate change" (quotes mine), its potential impacts, and options for mitigation and adaptation.”
IPCC. IPCC Reports.

Perhaps before shooting your mouth off further concerning your great (lack of) knowledge about our ongoing climate change, you should do some research to save making such a fool of yourself.
Feel free to have the last word... to somebody…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lighten up on that hostility. Try sticking to the facts of the matter. Now what is it about that IPCC statement that you find offense, or threatening? And what does paragraph long summation - have to do with a review of Climate Change 2001: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability. IPCC, 2001. http://www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/tar/wg2/index.php?idp=22
After all climate scientists have been striving (and succeeding!!!) to study, document and understand the pageant of natural climate changes that helped create this world of ours. What I'm trying to explain is that it's a lie to say the IPCC or climate scientists ignore natural climate changes and what drives them.
In fact it's sort of backward to think there is anything un-natural to today's climate change. After all, CO2 is a major regulator of the atmosphere's amount of insulation. In the past volcanoes have ejected massive amounts of CO2 and with sulfur and soot and such. (Only difference is this time it's humans doing it and humans who 'control' it.) Back to those early volcanoes, the other stuff washed out of the atmosphere fairly rapidly, while the Greenhouse Gases lingered and cause global warming.
As for current observations, show me something that indicates a stable healthy biosphere or weather system. You are blind to the significant changes in the character of extreme weather events - but it's still happening.
Remaining blinded by fear and hostility and rage as you are my pal Dale, doesn't make it go away. I can also be rude, but I try not to. After all, the fearful evidence supports my perspective and I can support that with rational facts and pointers to where you can learn about it.

Now my dear Zoe, what is your deal. You got a lotta potty mouth going, but never offer any substance. Either in defense of this fraud machine Willie Soon or specifically countering anything I've said or shared. Nor in support of your insults about Schmidt's paper (you never even mention which paper.).
Climate Science is big and complicated - but not that big or that complicated - Good faith study can teach you a bunch. Doing this dog-chasing-tail routine, to show how much you despise me, is the stuff of know-nothings who remain interesting in nothing.
Are you ever going to come up with some substance or are we just going to keep playing ring around the rosie. I know the Soon machine has pumped out unbelievable amounts of trash talk - but there's even more real science out there, for me to share.
Perhaps you can explain the double stand. Why is Soon consider such an authority even though he's pocketed well over a million from sources dedicated not to understanding science but to denying it and from a close look at his garbage science (check above links) he's obviously a propaganda machine and no serious scientist. Why is that okay in your book?

Zoe, hmmm who's using sunspots to calculate TSI? TSI is measured directly http://www.global-greenhouse-warming.com/solar-irradiance-measurements.html - Or through proxies - http://www.pnas.org/content/109/16/5967.full
Ionization chambers and neutron monitors have directly monitored the intensity of cosmic radiation since the 1930s (1). Prior to this time, no direct measurements exist, and cosmogenic radionuclides, which can be considered as a kind of a “natural neutron monitor,” can be used as a proxy for cosmic radiation (2). In this context the two most commonly used radionuclides are 10Be and 14C. 10Be and 14C are produced in the Earth’s atmosphere by nuclear reactions of cosmic ray particles with atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen (3) (Fig. 1). Thus, the production rates of these nuclides are directly related to the flux of the incoming cosmic ray particles.

No doubt you will attack Watts for my use of google images. I wouldn't expect anything else from a triggered imbecile like yourself.
Basically, out of dozens of solar reconstructions, climate use the crappiest contrived data sets to disqualify the sun in an attempt to lend legitimacy to their hypothesis. However, even the crappy data sets have a higher correlation with temperature since 1700 than co2.
Stupid warmists never learn.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zoe, thank you for that edit and providing something to work with. https://skepticalscience.com/news.php?n=215&p=2 That's a little background regarding your Anthony, very informative post that one, thanks for helping me find it. http://lasp.colorado.edu/home/sorce/data/tsi-data/ As for your graphs, Zoe, do you really believe you have the objectivity or knowledge to interpret those graphs? What do you think they tell you? Have you spent any time at that 2nd link I shared. That's the source of those graphs.
Why do think anything in there disputes the reality of how greenhouse gases regulate our atmosphere's insulation ability? You are forgetting the First Order Physical Reality of Earth. It's the atmosphere that protects us from the black of frigid space. CO2 is the major regular for a variety of reasons, but certainly not the only player.
I like referring to CO2 as our Atmosphere's Insulation Regulator.
At 180 Earth has ice ages at 280 Earth has wonderful temperate times, like the one that enabled complex society to evolve. With our fossil fuels burning we have increased that atmospheric regulator up past 400 and climbing.
This is simple physical reality, all of your arm waving about things you don't have the first clue about does not change any of that reality as the recent years are showing us. https://public.wmo.int/en/media/press-release/global-climate-2011-2015-hot-and-wild
Of course, the sun's fluctuations impact climate, but the fact is nothing the sun has been doing can explain the increasing temperatures.
It's been interesting, but I think I'm going to have to sign off for the evening.

Zoe, well good morning to you too. What's with the hostility? What have I done to you? Don't you realize your incessant need to build yourself up by tearing me down in your imagination, reveals profound insecurity? http://whatsupwiththatwatts.blogspot.com/p/about-this-blog.html If I'm "meta levels below you" (Hey what are a 'meta levels' anyways - are they related to 'meta studies' by any chance ; ). Why don't you help me out. I obvious am very interested in your knowledge and keep asking you to impart some of it.
Also I'm not as stupid as you would like to imagine. I knew enough to figure out where's Anthony's graph came from and to visit the site http://lasp.colorado.edu/home/sorce/data/tsi-data/ and to see that it's part of the fully incorporated body of knowledge. No secrets or surprises there. I do know other people manipulate that data and say some very crazy things about it, but then some people say crazy things about Earth being created 6,000 years ago and they actually believe themselves. Yea kinda insane ain't it, but I digress.
So again what about those graphs convinces you climate scientists are not to be trusted.
SkepticalScience (Or are they on your enemies list? Honestly, you can tell me. I can handle it.) does a very nice job of explaining the climate science behind the headlines, including sharing links as opposed to Anthony unsourced stuff.. They've done a number of write-ups on the topic. https://skepticalscience.com/grand-solar-minimum-mini-ice-age-intermediate.htm
or here's a quote from the next link.
"There is no denying there's a strong link between solar activity and climate - both with the short term (eg - the 11 year cycle) and long term (eg - decadal changes in solar activity). In fact, the close correlation between sun and temperature is what tells us the sun can't be causing recent global warming as solar activity has been steady since the 50's. So what do studies into precipitation tell us?
Solar cycles and South African water levels..." https://skepticalscience.com/sunspots-and-water-levels.htm

Zoe, more of that nasty name calling, Here's your token >>> https://skepticalscience.com/argument.php?f=taxonomy Guess your mama never washed your mouth out with soap or taught you any manners. It's a shame. ~
Zoe you keep telling me it's all fraudulent data, but you have not given the slightest hint, how it's fraudulent - except that Anthony Watts told you it was fraudulent. You show a graph that apparently mixes TSI with sunspots and think that's how TSI is achieved by combining those two numbers or something like that. Very confusing that's why I'm asking, and being very nice about it,( I was taught manners, though I don't always obey, I do try.). Please clarify what you think the fraud is.
Oh and I happen to know Anthony Watts is a for real fraud (he's been caught red handed many times but as it is with frauds he'll never cop to it), now can you come up with any more authoritative source than a conspiracy theorists?
Or can you explain what convinced you to believe TSI is fraudulent except that you believe universities are bogus, governments are bogus, NASA is bogus, the international community of experts who study weather and climate full time are bogus. Who does that leave to trust. Oil Company Think Tanks?
Please explain, keep in mind this conversation is recorded, so make it convincing.
I sincerely am interesting you understand in what you believe and why.
Please help me understand.
Best Wishes, later, cc

But, Zoe, you haven't tried to explain a thing. You've ignored my questions. You've ignored links to a world full of objective scientific sources, each of which you dismiss with a self-certain flick of your regal pinky. Though you can't explain a thing about what you actually think.
These sorts of discussion are supposed to be about exchanging ideas and challenges perhaps even learning a few things - but you never get past the tossing insults parts.
So sad that your insults makes you feel so superior.
As for how attempting to dialogue with you makes me feel, it's like having a stare-down with hopelessness.

Doesn't that make it all so easy for you - everyone you don't like is delusional. While Anthony is a straight shooting genius and arbiter of all that is. Is that how it is? But Zoe, you've made no attempt to respond to any of my questions.
Worse you simply dismiss, without ever considering, some pretty substantive sources I've shared.
As for the Scientific Method. I know it's about learning and constructive challenges and all around healthy skepticism, not dog-chasing-tail rhetorical games.

I corrected some formatting issues, etc. and added the information about the IPCC this evening.
Those typos and such are a pain, excuse me . . . simply not enough hours in the day.
As they say, don’t bring a knife to a gun fight. Well fought cc.
Well said.
Still, in the end we're left with the weapons fate has handed us.
Doing the best I can with what I got. : - )

As of now I am arguing with this person in a YouTube comment section
A few minutes ago I sent them this.
Come on, reply already why don't you? You were so quick before!
If you really want to know - I'm feeling fried and hopeless.
When so few give a damned and when most who open their mouths are simply playing silly games, such as your weird comment, which asks nothing and informs nothing, and seems more like some personal joke with yourself - what the hell do you want?
Ask me something intelligent and lets have a go.
