Strawmen make poor arguments. Logical fallacies are not your friend, nor do valid arguments need them, or rely on them. Ever. The deeper question is, inside your head are you using such an argument to make decisions, even if you were stop posting them?

The worst part of such failures is that they're simply forgotten in favor of new claims. Nothing is falsfiable when you won't accept falsification, or simply excuse it, claim they're better now, and set forth once again without re-examining your faith.

Well, when you are talking about the tail, no it isn't likely to happen. That doesn't really say anything about failure of the model.

But I won't take up your time with a lengthy post, I know you have lots of work to do: axioms are being attacked by logical fallacies; correlations are overwhelming causations; the value judgments of innocent people are in danger; and, apparently, the elites are trying to burden Leprechauns with onerous regulations. Scientific method, no mulligans, must falsify, must falsify...
Repeating arguments you don't like doesn't make them untrue or innoculate poor arguments against them. The tactic is merely an aspect of your religion. It's like complaining that a financial statement has too many numbers by making a list of the places numbers are used because you don't like that the balance shown is in the red. Just like the argument for AGW.
There are no arguments there, it's just parody. However it's probably pointless to try to parody you, given that you are basically self-parodying. Have you noticed how often you repeat yourself? Have you noticed how often you repeat yourself? I really shoudn't be mocking you though, since it may well be that you have something in common with Greta Thunberg.

I notice you still have not noted who the warmist's alleged sky god is. On the other hand, I have heard that free-market zealots, who comprise a large portion of denialists, worship a powerful sky god they call The Great Invisible Hand.

You know your right when the opposition resorts to calling you stupid and mocking you instead of refuting you. Grade school behavior by adults claiming to be better and smarter. Funny stuff. Fun to watch ...sometimes.

Did you expect some 'new' thing to come along? Why? Did you b**ch all the way through math class about repetition on addition and multiplication, everywhere? Do you actually expect arguments about objective facts and science to change to suit you? Shall we hold you to the same standard in your objections and arguments? Once you've made an argument, you cannot make it again to address the same repeated assertion? Please explain the principle you're using to critique my repetitions. This way, we can judge it properly without you claiming I'm using strawmen. Of course, you'll evade explaining your principle on this because there isn't one you want public. I have a lot in common with Greta. I'm human, I eat, I breathe, etc. But that isn't what you meant. You are intentionally making yet another public ad hom attack by impugning people on the autism spectrum. Nice. I wonder if you consider yourself one of the inclusive, tolerant people. I guess your tactics are acceptable because of your intentions.

I didn't claim they had one, so I'm not on the hook to explain what I never said in the first place. It's no surprise free market zealots might comprise a large portion of folks who deny what isn't true in the first place. After all, their principles rest upon people acting as they actually are, without evasions, and how they actually make decisions, also without evasion. They're well equipped to spot BS. When a 'science' relies upon defenders who use methods like you apply, the fact that is isn't is self evident.

These tactics form much of the basis for warming enthusiasts in this discussion, from nearly everyone pushing the AGW line.

Fanaticism sees predictive failures as a don't care. Boring. In real science or people applying valid logic, they're signs that your process and claims are wrong.

Oh yeah.... they can't contain themselves long enough to even pretend it isn't political. Here's the Port Angeles City Council on adopting some stupid climate change resolution: “The City Council will work with regional governments, organizations and businesses in efforts to transition our local economy to carbon neutral by 2030 while ensuring that all efforts are centered in equity and respect for all community members.” Barf.
