<i>It’s not worth returning back to square one every time some newcomer raises the question again. That’s not a way for learning more</i>
Actually it's a way for <i>me</i> to learn more, namely as a result of reading sources that I would not otherwise have been motivated to look at. It also means that the sources I consult address issues that someone other than myself and the author of the source cares about.
As long as people keep raising questions I'm happy to keep reexamining the issue of whether those questions might have a point to them after all. Terrific if they do, but even if they don't it may still be possible to improve on the extant answers to them in both accuracy and clarity. There's always room for a better book on the elementary principles of climate.
