lolwot writes “That’s an opinion.”
Absolutely correct. But I wish you would read what I wrote. What I said was “So I agree completely with our hostess, and would point out that the opponents of CAGW did NOT just appeal to their opinions. The proponents of CAGW ONLY appealed to their opinions. Score 1:0.”
Can you see the difference? The opponents of CAGW did NOT rely ONLY on their opinion. They included hard data. The proponents of CAGW relied ONLY on their opinions. There was no statement about hard data whatsoever. Not that this is surprising, since there is little to no hard data to support CAGW.
