Michael,
I assume you are a Warmist by your masterful use of language, and your blinding grasp of the logical thought process.
At least a head on a stick can never be accused of handwaving, as opposed to the average factless and clueless Warmist. I assess Ozzieostrich’s intellectual capacity to be at least equal to mine, and vastly greater than the average above-mentioned Warmist.
Here’s a challenge for you. Compose a joke involving the definition of gross ignorance. Hint – the number 144 is a measurement called a “gross.” including the word “Warmist” in the answer should generate a laugh, when combined with a number.
Notwithstanding your underwhelming attempt at an “ad hom”, I assume that you are another Warmist unable to provide any facts in relation to a definition of the Earth’s surface. I would be most grateful if you could prove that you are not an empty vessel by answering my polite question.
I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but my father taught me it was bad form to fight an unarmed opponent.
Live well and prosper.
Mike Flynn
