Peter – I can see where you are going with this. I keep thinking about the troll discussion. Deniers are trolls. Their purpose is to disrupt. They do the same thing to us that the tobacco industry did to scientists. They send us on wild goose chases. They are anti social. What I see is trolls trying to engage with a challenge. When the challenge is answered by one party, they move to another party and ask the same question as if no one had ever answered. That is purely duplicitous. Call it lying. Call it deception. Call it whatever you want. Its dishonest. Thanks for the video. The picture is getting clearer. We should be focused on solutions. We don’t need to convince trolls that AGW is real or that renewables are a success story.
