I explained that in my post 145

No, you have not provided the website. If you did, I could review the information and get back to you. I believe the question is whether the images provided by NOAA are doctored. I can assure you that the GOES imagery is not doctored. Your flat-earth friend posted a NASA image of Earth from space. I was just asking for the website to determine whether the image was valid. Since you guys can’t provide the website, I conclude that the image was doctored by your flat-earth friends.

Maybe it would be good to review the first principle of scientific integrity:

The first principle of scientific integrity is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that. After you’ve not fooled yourself, it’s easy not to fool other scientists. You just have to be honest in a conventional way after that.

In summary, the idea is to try to give all of the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another.
Richard Feynman

You provided (and recommended!) the NOAA website.

They told you they were lying.

You have chosen to believe their lies anyway.

When someone lies to you and then tells you that the lie is a lie and how the lie works and then you choose to believe it anyway...

That should be a wake up call.

Maybe your time to wake up will come—maybe it will not.


Somebody once said:

“If some men do not choose to think, but survive by imitating and repeating, like trained animals, the routine of sounds and motions they learned from others, never making an effort to understand their own work, it still remains true that their survival is made possible only by those who did choose to think and to discover the motions they are repeating. The survival of such mental parasites depend on blind chance; their unfocused minds are unable to know whom to imitate, whose motions it is safe to follow. They are the men who march into the abyss, trailing after any destroyer who promises them to assume the responsibility they evade: the responsibility of being conscious.”

AGAIN...SEE REPLY 144.
Now you're lying about me to others.

And, AGAIN, you didn’t need me to provide you with a link. All you had to do is find the properties, which is easily done.
