I used a shorter compilation of excuses just this past week in my latest “discussion” with an acquaintance who believes every “goreism” coming out of the scientifically illiterate masses.
He cannot believe (probably due to inability to grasp simple physics) that the causes given for so-called warming cannot work the way they are explained, and continued to insist that all the reports of warming pauses were made up.
When I confronted him with “escuses” for the pause and asked him why his so-called “experts” had to stoop to explaining something that didn’t exist, I had the pleasure of watching him to the famous liberal imitation of Jackie Gleason ....homina, homina...homina.......
Tame response. When I confront liberals with indisputable facts, the response I get is “F*ck you!” Then I know I’ve won the day!
