On Behalf Of Environmentalists, I Apologize For The Climate Scare

[Cow Poke]

mossrose considered that he was. She wrote, "Actually, I expect the alarmists will be along promptly to tell us that the writer of the piece is obviously not a real scientist and therefore the entire thing can be pooh-poohed and dismissed out of hand."

That doesn't necessarily mean that she thought or believed he was a scientist --- we just get that as a pretty standard reply from the alarmists.

It seems you have more skills than I possess. I can only respond to what she wrote, not what she thought or believed!

Yeah, what can I say?

She's one of my best buds --- you don't know her like I know her.

You must know her extraordinarily well to be able to comprehend her unexpressed thoughts.

Well, again, what can I say? She amen'd that post of mine, so I must have hit it spot on.

Are you just lookin for a fight?

Not at all. Merely responding to what you have written!

I'm kidding. About you looking for a fight. It's a nice quiet Sunday evening, and I'm enjoying the solitude.

I know you were being mechant!

Lovely here right now. Some cloud but the moon is beautiful. Enjoy your solitude.

I know you were being mechant!

1. [personne, parole] nasty
Ne sois pas méchant avec ton petit frère. Don’t be nasty to your little brother.
2. [enfant] (= pas sage) naughty
3. [animal] vicious
« Attention, chien méchant » “Beware of the dog”
4. (avant le nom) [plaie, blessure] nasty

Maybe you mean #2?

Moon was beautiful last night, but had an interesting "halo" around it due to the Sahara dust cloud still over the area.

Try "You're right. I can't read her mind, no matter how long I've known her".

Or would that require a prohibitive amount of humility / integrity?

The issue is there was reference, nor discussion of the research, and information on climate trends over time whether the person is a scientist or not. It was simply an awkward emotional appeal testimonial, an apology?, against global warming.

Do you ALWAYS have to be such a jerk? We're KIDDING here. (at least, I am!)

Try lightening up a little.

I did. I omited the acute accent over the "e".

You should get some photos of that moon. Dust can create some very interesting atmospheric effects. Often quite stunning.

I used to have a very good Nikon camera, but I've become way too reliant on my iPhone -- nowhere near as good pics.

I may have to dig out the old SLR equipment again.

Cool, thanks so very much for your input.
