Okay mineguy, lets debate Jim Steele and his LandscapesandCycle conviction
I received a dismissive, yet challenging, comment from a "mineguy," he claims he can "take down" my arguments with ease.
Okay Mineguy, I'm game. Bet you can't!
I invite you to choose from any of my Jim Steele Critiques (I include the list after my response to your revealing comment.). Then in a rational constructive manner, point out my errors and produce some evidence to support your opinion - I'd be happy to learn from you, if you can produce some rational defensible evidence.
Here let me give you an example of how it's done:At 3:44PM, August 28, 2016, mineguy's comments:“A brief read indicates this WUWTW site is another of the group-think anthropogenic true believers who are incredibly organized to dispute, disparage, and ‘take down’ any sane and objective contrary argument against that line of propaganda.

The formatting on your post looks good to me. I don't know if it was what was intended, but it's perfectly readable.
Hi CC
You might be interested in this little exchange as I suspect it involves your old friend Jim Steele
apologies if you have seen it
http://www.skepticforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=22213&start=680
in it he tries to bamboozle a commentator with the classic denier tactic of quoting an outlier paper to support whatever daft point he is making
obviously he bangs on about it being in a peer reviewed scientific journal etc
the other person simply admits he does not have the time/skill to critique the paper – so Jim seems to think he has won
then along comes a guy called halsu who proceeds to rip the paper and Jim points to shreads – in a point by point rebuttal
Jim,s response “Thanks - I am busy right now, and will respond when I have time”

Halsu, been around there for a while and seems like a good blok, his posts are consistently interesting.
Lausten, I know from CFI Forum, interesting guy. Sometimes I totally agree with him, sometimes he makes no sense to me. But that feeling might be mutual. Jim feels like unfinished dirty laundry.
That was a nice response Halsu wrote, I'll have to check back, see if it ever gets responded to.
what I found so amusing was when jim laments that "if only people would read the scientific literature"
indeed, we can all agree on that !!
