The lunacy is 'arguing' with Water when he is his full on troll mode.
His idiocy provides a venue for repeated and increasingly more refined restatements of the truth.

Arguing with an AGW denier is like arguing with a creationist. It pisses you off.

Gore cancels personal appearance in Copenhagen
Former Vice President Al Gore on Thursday abruptly canceled a Dec. 16 personal appearance that was to be staged during the United Nations' Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, which begins next week.
As described in The Washington Times' Inside the Beltway column Tuesday, the multimedia public event to promote Mr. Gore's new book, "Our Choice," included $1,209 VIP tickets that granted the holder a photo opportunity with Mr. Gore and a "light snack."
Berlingkse Media, a Danish group coordinating ticket sales and publicity for the event, said that "great annoyance" was a factor in the cancellation, along with unforeseen changes in Mr. Gore's program for the climate summit. The decision affected 3,000 ticket holders.
"We have had a clear-cut agreement, and it is unusual with great disappointment that we have to announce that Al Gore cancels. We had a huge expectation for the event. . . . We do not yet know the detailed reasons for the cancellation," said Lisbeth Knudsen, CEO of Berlingske Media, in a statement posted by the company.

scared, he may be....hmmmmmmm
WTF? HOW is the Global Warming movement dead? The only thing that will die with the global warming movement is our children.
HOW could the AGW movement be dead when NO serious climatologist disagrees with these findings? Are you going to argue for intelligent design next, you appeasing piece of shit?
AGW is happening whether or not conspiracy theorists like you choose to accept, whether the government chooses to listen to the scientists and fight it, or chooses to listen to the conspiracy theorists and claps its hands over its ears to ignore the overwhelming evidence in favor of AGW.
If you say that there is no evidence for global warming, you clearly have done absolutely no research on the subject, and you aren't worth debating.
I don't say that. The globe is warming. There is no conclusive, concrete evidence that ties man to it - at all.
You're pissed at me, but it's your stubborn attitude that will set back the green movement. Like I said, there are great - much better - arguments to be made for domestic renewables re: national security & economics. But you idiots will stick with AGW & shoot down everything.
Truly, it pisses me off.
It's dead. It is OVAH.
Dumb argument, anyway. First, AGW cannot be proven, either way; it simply cannot. I don't know what findings you are talking about that conclusively link man to climate change. There is nothing conclusive, at all.
Second, even if man was SOLELY responsible for climate change, we'd have to go cold turkey on everything right now in order to improve the trend a century from now. And, if you look at the science, it probably doesn't even matter at that point, anyway (once things go for awhile, "natural" triggers kick in, and even more natural CO2 gets released, exacerbating the cycle). And we can't go cold turkey; even the most stringent measures they are proposing are weak.
Third, you're insane if you think this doesn't land a death blow to the AGW proponents. Perception is everything in politics.
Fourth, there are incredibly good economic & national security arguments for accelerating the development of domestic, renewable sources of energy. Unlike AGW, these can be proven and argued with concrete facts.
Give it up. AGW is fool's gold politically; it's something only extreme partisans will hang onto. It's reminiscent of the WMD fools on the right.

Naturally occurring greenhouse gases have a mean warming effect of about 33 °C (59 °F).[20][C] The major greenhouse gases are water vapor, which causes about 36–70 percent of the greenhouse effect; carbon dioxide (CO2), which causes 9–26 percent; methane (CH4), which causes 4–9 percent[not in citation given]; and ozone (O3), which causes 3–7 percent.[21][22] Clouds also affect the radiation balance, but they are composed of liquid water or ice and so are considered separately from water vapor and other gases.
Human activity since the Industrial Revolution has increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to increased radiative forcing from CO2, methane, tropospheric ozone, CFCs and nitrous oxide. The concentrations of CO2 and methane have increased by 36% and 148% respectively since the mid-1700s.[23] These levels are much higher than at any time during the last 650,000 years, the period for which reliable data has been extracted from ice cores.[24] Less direct geological evidence indicates that CO2 values this high were last seen about 20 million years ago.[25] Fossil fuel burning has produced about three-quarters of the increase in CO2 from human activity over the past 20 years. Most of the rest is due to land-use change, particularly deforestation.[26]
CO2 concentrations are continuing to rise due to burning of fossil fuels and land-use change. The future rate of rise will depend on uncertain economic, sociological, technological, and natural developments. Accordingly, the IPCC Special Report on Emissions Scenarios gives a wide range of future CO2 scenarios, ranging from 541 to 970 ppm by the year 2100.[27] Fossil fuel reserves are sufficient to reach these levels and continue emissions past 2100 if coal, tar sands or methane clathrates are extensively exploited.[28]
There is science, and there are lunatic conspiracy theorists. Onceler has put himself against rationality, against science, and revealed himself to be a radical right winger. The left should no longer count such a disgraceful person as their friend.
When they catch the hacker I hope they put a fucking bullet in his head. He deserves to die.
This is a typical cherrypicked argument for AGW. It ignores evidence of other, more natural evidence for warming,
and the fact that hey, we might not even be warming anymore, and that it was actually just reported this week that we might be in for a 10-20 year period of cooling.
Not to bring up WMD's again, but it's the kind of evidence stacking that was used to make the argument for war. They took what supported it, and ignored evidence to the contrary.
It undermines the ends you want to achieve at this point (most of which we probably share), but have at it...
Maybe I would trust Onceler more if he'd given me an analysis of the evidence rather than a political analysis.
