I just caught something on TV where some psychologist noted that people suffering from narcissism syndromes were really prone to buy into nutjob conspiracy theories.

I think you're right ... he made a mistake lying in a thread dedicated to exposing lies ... the "I never said that" defense ...
You missed something. I very effectively refuted all your contentions and THEN subtly suggested you're irrationality is caused by a mental illness.

I thought you had notified me, that, in your considered opinion, you viewed me as insane, not worthy of viewing my post, and would hence forth, be ignoring me. I was so looking forward to not having to deal with your fallacies, your equivocations, and your clearly deceptive and dishonest discussion techniques, it really was, no great loss to me. What a disappointment to have to deal with your direct comments, once again.You missed something.

1) I was addressing Mr Beale.How have you refuted the laws of thermodynamics? ... you made the claim of a positive feedback mechanism without explaining ... on the surface, this violates several of the laws that govern the movement of energy in our universe ... do you understand the electric guitar analogy? ...
You need to have your math right or nobody is going to listen to you ...
2) I did explain the positive feedback (more heat, more water in the air, more greenhouse effect).
And that's why we're as hot as Venus.........
No it is not.
Astronomers have detected that the atmosphere of Venus consists of 0.002% water vapor. Compare that to the Earth's atmosphere, which contains 0.40% water vapor.Jul 29, 2009

Is There Water on Venus?
[/caption] When astronomers first pointed their rudimentary telescopes at Venus, they saw a world shrouded in clouds. Here on Earth, clouds mean water, so early astronomers imagined a tropical world with constant rainfall. The truth, of course is that the thick atmosphere on Venus is made almost...www.universetoday.com
Is all of life that simple to you Todd?You said when it gets hotter, there is more water vapor which makes it hotter still.
(more heat, more water in the air, more greenhouse effect).
So why doesn't lead melt at the Earth's surface? Why would runaway global warming caused
by increased water vapor ever stop?
With 200 times the water vapor in our atmosphere already, we should be much hotter than Venus.

What do you think Todd? That's what's importantYour runaway global warming / water vapor theory was very simplistic.
Were you wrong, or are we headed toward Venus-like temperatures?
What do you think Todd? That's what's important
When was the last time you actually made a factual, critical, rational argument about anything?
So, you've given up using your intellect? Too bad. You used to be pretty sharp.No, I don't think your error-filled claim is important.
Rational? Runaway global warming isn't rational?
So

We both know what I said so we both know that what you are attempting to credit me with now is simply a lie. I can't say I care for it Todd. Are you or Redfish or Healthmyths (your brain trust, I guess) attempting to argue that water DOESN'T provide a positive feedback to greenhouse warming?
5) I aced two semesters of thermodynamics and one of heat transfer (non-equilibrium thermo) as part of a BSc in Ocean Engineering at FAU over 30 years ago. But feel free to see if you can educate me on the finer points.

Indeed.You think the warming of the planet is a hoax? You believe the planet is not warming? Have I got that right?
