One other note -- Frankfooter has posted so many lies about me in recent years that I'm sure I could approach the mods and seek to have "Frankfooter" get the same treatment that "Groggy" received.
But why would I?
The great thing about Franky's bullshit is it's almost always so astonishingly idiotic that it does nothing more than generate huge laughs. Indeed, he does more to discredit man-made global warming on TERB than anything any "denier" could ever hope to accomplish.
With that said, here's the updated version of Frankfooter's greatest hits on global warming, with a couple of the most recent idiocies added at the bottom.
Man-made global warming: Frankfooter's greatest hits
- Nov. 10, 2015 -- He calculated that the "pre-industrial age" refers to the year 1990:
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...armer-Planet&p=5394609&viewfull=1#post5394609. He repeated that claim on Nov. 21:
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...ing-Point%92&p=5404144&viewfull=1#post5404144
- Nov. 21, 2015 -- He claimed it was "conspiracy thread business" to assert that NASA's pre-adjusted data (which ran to the end of May) showed there wasn't a single month in 2015 that was a record breaker:
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...-HottestYear&p=5403467&viewfull=1#post5403467. He spent an entire weekend making that argument until he was finally forced to concede that I was right.
- Nov. 27, 2015 -- This is still one of my favourites. He posted a graph that he said shows the "IPCC's projection" for 2015:
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...-HottestYear&p=5410384&viewfull=1#post5410384. Then, after it was explained to him that the graph shows the IPCC's predictions have been spectacularly wrong, he said it was "not an IPCC projection" and ran away from his own graph:
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...-HottestYear&p=5416739&viewfull=1#post5416739
- Nov. 29, 2015 -- He said NASA and NOAA don't use sea surface temperatures in their calculations of the global temperature anomalies:
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...imate-Change&p=5411862&viewfull=1#post5411862. Actually, they do.
- Dec. 1, 2015 -- Another classic. He said the ninth month of the year is "March":
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...-HottestYear&p=5414060&viewfull=1#post5414060
- Dec. 5, 2015 -- He posted what he said is a Met Office graph that shows updated HadCRUT4 data:
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...-HottestYear&p=5416886&viewfull=1#post5416886. In fact, the graph came from Columbia University and uses the entirely different NASA data.
- Jan. 8, 2016 -- He said NASA has "never altered any data, all they did was alter the weighting of ocean temperature readings....":
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...-warming-bet&p=5443355&viewfull=1#post5443355
- Jan. 10, 2016 -- He said I was "lying" when I said that a temperature change from 0.68ºC to 0.83ºC is an increase of 0.15ºC:
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...-warming-bet&p=5445053&viewfull=1#post5445053
- Feb. 3, 2016 -- He said the calculation that the average of 0.75 + 0.82 + 0.84 + 0.71 + 0.71 is 0.766 is "denier math":
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?550100-The-End-is-Near&p=5466417&viewfull=1#post5466417
- Feb. 4, 2016 -- He called it "lying your face off" when I said the difference between 0.43 and 0.68 is 0.25:
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?550100-The-End-is-Near&p=5466781&viewfull=1#post5466781
- Feb. 8, 2016 -- A gem. He said the graphs on NASA's
Vital Signs of the Planet page were "fake":
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...e-change-yet&p=5470561&viewfull=1#post5470561. He repeated the claim on Feb. 13 when he said the NASA graphs had been "possibly doctored":
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...e-change-yet&p=5473971&viewfull=1#post5473971
- Feb. 11, 2016 -- He dismissed NASA GISS director Gavin Schmidt's graph of temperature anomalies as "dodgy":
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...e-change-yet&p=5472913&viewfull=1#post5472913
- Feb. 11, 2016 -- He said NASA GISS director Gavin Schmidt's Twitter account isn't "legit":
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...e-change-yet&p=5472991&viewfull=1#post5472991
- Feb. 20, 2016 -- He said it was a "blatantly false claim" that the difference between 0.74 and 0.84 is 0.10:
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...e-change-yet&p=5479780&viewfull=1#post5479780
- March 3, 2016 -- He said it's "not possible" for 0.89 to equal 0.89:
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...imate-change&p=5489838&viewfull=1#post5489838
- March 27, 2016 -- He said it was "incredibly stupid" to conclude that half of 2ºC is 1ºC:
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...-Early-April&p=5509136&viewfull=1#post5509136
- April 23, 2016 -- He tried to claim that 0.75 and 0.87 are the exact same number:
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...believers%92&p=5531128&viewfull=1#post5531128
- April 23, 2016 -- He claimed the average temperature for the period from 1961 to 1990 is a "different baseline" than the average temperature for the period from 1961 to 1990:
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...believers%92&p=5531216&viewfull=1#post5531216
- May 1, 2016 -- He said that a climate researcher who thinks warming is 99% due to natural causes believes that "anthropogenic" climate change is happening:
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=5537250#post5537250
- May 11, 2016 -- He said all of the warming since 1850 was caused by humans (even the IPCC doesn't support him on this one):
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=5546112#post5546112
- May 12, 2016 - He said the warming "slowdown" in the 21st century "still fits" Michael Mann's
hockey stick graph:
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...-Frankfooter&p=5547096&viewfull=1#post5547096
- April 11, 2018 - He said anyone who thinks 0.68 is the same number as 0.68 must be "so stupid":
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...rbon-tax-lol&p=6097320&viewfull=1#post6097320
- April 15, 2018 - He said that 0.68 C and 0.73 C are the exact same number:
