    Wrong again, depending on which record you choose, there is no statistically significant warming from 11 to 23 years. Problem is you would have to understand both statistics and science which is not something of a strong suit for you.

    Nonsense, the intellectuals, academics and their little college student drones were at the vanguard of the National Socialist movement. Surely you know that.

    Stalin was a Bolshevik, the Bolsheviks were a small group of intellectuals with sustained support from academics and students - rather like the NSDAP.

    Anti-intellectualism is a common facet of totalitarian dictatorships to oppress political dissent.[citation needed] Perhaps its most extreme political form was during the 1970s in Cambodia under the rule of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, when people were killed for being academics or even for merely wearing eyeglasses (as it suggested literacy) in the Killing Fields.[2][citation needed]

    During the Spanish Civil War and the following dictatorship, General Francisco Franco's civilian repression, the White Terror campaign, killed an estimated 200,000 civilians, heavily targeting writers, artists, teachers and professors.

    In the first decade after the Russian Revolution of 1917, the Bolsheviks suspected the Tsarist intelligentsia as potentially traitorous of the proletariat, thus, the initial Soviet government comprised men and women without much formal education. Vladimir Lenin derided the old intelligentsia with the expression (roughly translated): 'We have completed no academies' (мы академиев не кончали).[18] Moreover, the deposed propertied classes were termed Lishentsy ("the disenfranchised"), whose children were excluded from education; eventually, some 200 Tsarist intellectuals such as writers, philosophers, scientists, and engineers were deported to Germany on Philosophers' ships in 1922; others were deported to Latvia and to Turkey in 1923.

    According to who? First it was 10 years then 15 then 20 so now it is 30? Well, thanks for admitting there is a slowdown.

    Sorry for your uneducated bias or your general lack of knowledge on the issue?

    Anyone following this thread can see which side has changed the dialog from science to politics. You can't even admit that CO2 is a greenhouse gas without claiming it is just a hypothesis.

    CO2 driven climate change is still only an unproven hypothesis.

    You really have no clue what a logical fallacy is, do you?

    I know. You continue to prove you don't as others have pointed out. You should quit while you are behind instead of proving your lack of education.

    I am glad we agree that you do not understand the term. And I agree with the others who have reported to you your lack of scientific understanding.

    Intellectuals crafted socialist theory and were at the vanguard of the various totalitarian regimes rise to power. Intellectuals throughout the West supported and praised the Soviet, Nazi and Fascist systems through their rise to power and many like Hobsbawn never abandoned their party affiliation. Heidegger, and his followers have guided post WW II liberal arts.

    "For many years I have lived in dread of having to answer the Question. Curiously, no one has asked it. ...The Question: What did you know and when did you know it? ...I remained a supporter of the international movement and of the Soviet Union until there was nothing left to support. Now, as everyone knows, in a noble effort to liberate the human race we broke all records for mass slaughter, piling up tens of millions of corpses in less than three quarters of a century. " " Eugene D. Genovese, "The Crimes of Communism: What did you know, and when did you know it?" "Dissent" Summer, 1994.

    "Those who are big on multiculturalism might note that the great majority of our victims were nonwhite. ...Reflecting on moral responsibility. I have referred to 'we'. For it has never occurred to me that the moral responsibility falls much less heavily on those of us on the American left than it fell on Comrade Stalin and those who replicated his feats in one country after another. "

    "....And I am afraid that some of the responsibility falls on the 'democratic socialists,' 'radical democrats', and other left wingers who endlessly denounce Stalinism but could usually be counted on to support - 'critically,' of course - the essentials of our political line on world and national affairs." Eugene D. Genovese, "The Crimes of Communism: What did you know, and when did you know it?" "Dissent" Summer, 1994.

    Not that you would know but the retarded don't know they are retarded. A comparison can be drawn with your inability to see your own lack of knowledge.

    That atmospheric CO2 contributes to climate change has been proven for over a century. The only debate is whether it contributes a little or a lot.

    Actually I have knwn several and they all knew they were " slow" They didn't call themselves "retarded" however.

    That's probably not the actual term she uses!
