<div>Thanks for the amusing lobsters debating...</div>

<div>I don't expect to get anywhere, honestly. But there are a few people I have discussed climate science with who are more convinced now that there is significant evidence human activity is altering climate. So I have had an impact. But I don't realistically believe humanity will soon largely address anthropogenic climate change, and the forces working to stop any significant action are very powerful. I won't be around when climate change becomes so severe, as it appears likely it will, that people finally wake up... But even then there will be skeptics saying human activity had little or nothing to do with it.</div>

<div>What is interesting is that when I have posted scientific findings that are skeptical of certain mainstream climate science views, the "skeptics" who I have been in dialog with (all good scientists are skeptics, so I think this way of describing the discussion is misleading) have sometimes ignored my support for their skepticism. There was no response to my post today on climate scientist Pielke's criticisms of NASA/GISS temperature data. </div>

<div>I recall Roger Falen once noticing I was posting anthropogenic warming skeptics opinions and data, and complementing that I was at least open minded enough to study and post an opposing viewpoint. He has repeatedly made it clear he does not think human impacts on climate are very serious.</div>
