Obviously, if he had a source he would have given it. A quote from NASA can be easily verified. The claim that I would not accept a verified quote from NASA is absurd and an excuse for posts that lack any substance (mere claims without evidence or sources).

Raptor is a true believer. Facts and logic will never make him question his position. Unfortunately, he does not see that believing that EVERY scientific organization in the world is part of a conspiracy appears kooky to most people.
As to his "argument" that he is correct because by forcefully proving him wrong, I have demonstrated emotion and that shows that somehow I know that I am wrong...well that is

The right wing elite use the propaganda technique called "the big lie"* to keep their sheeple (dittoheads etc) in line.
1. NASA admitted that AGW is fake and they lied to get funding.
2. The entire scientific establishment is part of a conspiracy.
3. There will be "death panels" under Obamacare.
4.Obama is an alien.
5. Obama is a Socialist/Communist that is a tool of Wall Street and the banks.
6. Obama is a Muslim/Atheist that belongs to a left wing Christian church.
Old school Republicans (not many of those left) are disgusted by such lies. For example, McCain confronted a supporter (and loony) that said that Obama is a Muslim by saying that tho he strongly disagrees with Obama, it is absurd to call him a Muslim.
* The "big lie" is a propaganda technique invented by Hitler. Tell a lie that it so huge that people will believe it because they cannot believe anyone would claim something so easily refuted.The "big lie" also works because it is sexy. Data, facts and logic are not sexy.That is why Limbaugh,Beck,Hannity are popular. Unfortunately history has shown that "the big lie" works!

Repeat post,
I am confused! After posting the above it said unable to retrieve data so I re-submitted.

When you sympathize with Osama Binladen and are mad about his death!

UMMMM Did you know that Obama had him killed?
Here are more examples of the big lie.*

My point is that (like your last post) your posts are all about emotion. No one can convince a person that relies exclusively on emotional appeals. (Wittgenstein hurt my feelings,he thinks I am aweful).
Debates can only be productive if they concentrate on facts,data and logic. I have provided facts and primary sources. You simply make unsupported claims that I and other posters refuted and speculate as to what my feelings are. You have no idea what I feel. That is why,most people stick to the facts in a debate and avoid the emotionalism.
Seriously,I have nothing against you. I am against your position because as I proved it is based on emotionalism and not facts and logic. I apologize if I hurt your feelings.

If I did not hurt your feelings, why all the emotionalism? My point was also a request, that we debate the facts.
This is not about, you vs me. It is about your position vs mine. Suppose you proved that I am a sadistic debater. That has nothing to do with the debate.
For example,
1. Manson is an evil liar.
2. Manson said that 1+1=2
3. Therefore, 1+1 does not =2.
is an illogical argument.

When a person debates what the other person feels,that is emotionalism. It is not based on facts (no one can know what the other person feels).
You continue to change the focus of our debate from the subject to what we feel.
For example,and very ironically I might add, your last post is a perfect example of this phenomenon. Instead of wanting to debate AGW, you want the debate to be centered on if you are emotional or not.
