I received the following email from someone who says they agree
with my work, but are turned off by my "tiresome anger."
I won't deny it.
I am angry at how the global warming movement is trying to
destroy my freedom and my way of life. But still, I don't want to
diminish my credibility.
So what
do you think? Does this reader have a point? Would you take me more
seriously if I toned down my comments? Frankly, I've thought I
wasn't sounding angry enough.
(By the way, I refuse to remove the few cartoons that I've
posted. I really like them, emotional obsession be damned.) |

Dear Robert,
Your work and science are wonderful, if not invaluable. I believe as
you do that we are in an imminent and profound global cooling shift.
This is why I wish you would stay focused on your science instead of
your obvious and tiresome anger toward those who promote other theories
of global climate change. I get your point (believe me) and am not in
disagreement with you, but your obsession with "the other point of view"
comes across as unbecoming and seriously diminishes your credibility.
You sound more like a Tea Party activist than a scientist at times. An
isolated comment here and there would be one thing...but it comes across
as an unhealthy and emotional obsession, frankly.
I visit your web site each day and marvel at
the evidence you are amassing to support your well considered and exhaustively
researched theories. This is a good thing. When I see political cartoons
proudly demonizing Al Gore or see constant back handed, sarcastic remarks
concerning your obvious anti-global warming vendetta it honestly makes me take
you less seriously. I am speaking as someone who happens to agree with your
work and wants to take you seriously and see others take you seriously. You
do not win other points of view over with this--you only add unconstructively to
what is an already over-polarized (no pun intended) social and political
climate. Who does that help? The corporate oligarchs really running the show
(who are neither "democrats" or "republicans") love to divide and conquer us
this way. We all need to work together as a people to solve the problems we are
facing. It would be nice to see you more concerned with that than simply "being
right" and others "being wrong". I know you are jaded by mainstream bias.
Whining about it isn't going to sway anyone.
You should truly allow the weight of the positive and excellent evidence you
present be your calling card, not your sarcasm. Rise above the rest. You'll
reach a much bigger audience. The skeptical will be swayed and they will
respect you for it.
I am feeling frustrated as I write this and do not mean to offend you. I am
truly on your side. I just hope some of what I am saying makes some positive
sense and that you are able to accept my brash confrontation here in an
understanding and genuinely constructive way.
Respectfully,
A Caring Fan

Anger? What
anger? We should all be rabid and foaming at the mouths at the
continuous barrage of lies, distortions and misinformation streaming
constantly from the world's governments, especially our own, our
academic institutions, our media and the UN and its appendages like
the IPCC. Hang in there and stoke up the coal fires: full speed
ahead!!

Tiresome anger? Oh
please. I had to hold my nose to read that comment.
Very typical tactic
used by someone who is totally against you and wants you to shut
up. Instead of confronting you directly, this person takes the
PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE approach.
It's slimy, weaselly
and disgusting, but in the end no different from any other piece of
hate mail. I recommend not taking any advice from people who hate
you and want to shut you up. Rather take it as a compliment: you
must be effective and you must be getting to them if they pull out
these slimy tactics against you.
Keep up the good
work. -John |

Your anger is
passion , and it's the scientific community that have been betrayed
. You are angry, I am angry, and I read. We can't just accept this
bollox. Keep up the good work. -Richard Habgood |

Who is this fool who first berates you , tells you how you should
operate your own website and then says he is a "caring" fan?
You are bang
on when you say you haven't shown ENOUGH anger because NONE of us
have! We should ALL be beating down the doors of the global warmist
liars and forcing them to review the facts of global cooling. If
your antagonist REALLY cared he would be doing nothing but praising
your every effort to bring the truth to the masses. I think this guy
is trying to discredit your work without it being too obvious.
Ignore him and continue the GREAT work you have been doing. Stay the
course and enlighten the masses. Many thanks for your efforts and
good work. -C. Peter Davis, Wpg. MB |

I have read and
enjoyed both of your books and have been visiting your website daily
for several years now.
I don't find that
you comment with anger, but with more of a concern, although we
should be angry that we are being "HAD" with the Global Warming
propaganda.
That letter does
appear to be from someone that doesn't share your opinions and wants
to change your message in some way. The fact that they would not
even sign their name is telling.
Thanks again for
your excellent research and writing. Keep it going.

Keep up the good
work. Anger about fraudulent science is appropriate. I admire your
work. Keep it real.

Dear Mr. Felix,
I've been visiting your website for years now and hold your
reporting in the highest regard. I enjoy your refreshing
perspective and appreciate your very appropriate sense of humor. I
read the 'tireless anger' letter you posted and it's not worth
commenting on. You are a source of excellent and interesting news,
your website is well-put-together and easy to navigate, and though
you have definitely proven your tirelessness in your endeavors, I
cannot think of a time when you ever appeared as angry. Keep doing
what you're doing. Keep up the great work and don't let the haters
mess wit'choo! -Armand Presentati |

I
like your website. I often use facts from your site to enlighten
people about the global warming hoax. However, I am fed up with all
the political bashing going on. The political discourse needs to be
more civil or we may be guilty of inciting riots and creating hate
groups.
Just keep presenting the truth and let people make level headed
decisions instead of getting them emotional and making irrational
decisions.
Keep up the good work!

I read your post
about tiresome anger. I would not change anything if I was you.
keep up the excellent work you are doing. I gave your website to a
couple of geologists a few weeks ago in northern Quebec and to
my surprise they had a quick look at the site and booked marked it
right away and said this one in worth keeping
Have a good day,

Robert. You are not
angry enough!
Please ignore this distraction. Your work is too important. You are
very calm and balanced as far as I can see.
Considering how much
we are being lied to and stolen from because of weather fraud, there
should be MUCH MORE ANGER from many, many more people. You are
almost a lone voice crying in the wilderness. Why isn’t the
lamestream media doing the job they have left for you to do?
Because they are part of the scam.
No matter what you
do, 25% of the people will like you, 25% will not like you and 50%
won’t care.
So, please, keep
being yourself! -Stephanie Relfe |

Anger? What anger?
I have never thought of your site as being angry, far from it.
I
sense frustration, but, is that in any way a 'turn off', not at all.Thanks
for the service you provide with your site!

My
name is Paulo Monteiro and I agree a lot with your work. You're
doing a wonderful job even You're right. Stay as you have been all
the time and be genuine. Its only matters. Im a european who doesnt
care about american politics, tea parties or others internal
american affairs, but I appreciate your work and way of thinking
about the climate debate. Dont change, because you will lose your
sincerity and isnt so good as some may wish.
Sorry about my bad english and I wish you the best. -Paulo Monteiro |

Only tiresome
because of how often it's appropriate!
Keep up the good work! -Joe Sevy |

I
agree with many of the other respondents referring to the request
for you to dial back the anger. I never see anger in your posts just
passion and sincere interest in the topics. I appreciate the time
you take to update everyday with information on various subjects
that are never aired or discussed anywhere else.
When
the bottom drops out on the temperature, people will be looking at
you in a different light and maybe your poster will realize how
serious this all is. Serious subjects need to be presented in a
serious and no-holds-barred method. Thanks. -Lenore Smith,

Anger? What anger?
Several points...
First, as observed in several comments, it is perfectly appropriate
to be angry about the lies we are being told, and the freedoms we
would lose, not to mention the harm that continues to accrue as the
faux Greenies advance their ever more destructive agenda.
Second, as also observed, you are ever the gentleman. I wholly
concur with 'Armand Presentati', who wrote, "I cannot think of a
time when you ever appeared as angry." So, even though anger is
completely justified in this arena, I detect not a trace of it in
your work. ...a better man than I.
Finally, I just can't help but note how similar accusing you of
anger is to accusing Conservatives of violence, racism, lies, and
just overall lack of civility. None of that is true. In fact, if
anything, it is psychological projection on the part of those who
really do indulge in such aberrant behaviors; all in order to
deflect attention from themselves, and falsely attribute it to those
they hate, us.
The only reason they want you to stick to the science is that most
people don't understand it, and if they can outshout you over the
science, they may win. But, if you expose the shenanigans they are
up to, people can understand that, and won't like it a bit. The
science and the exposure go hand in hand. One without the other is
weakened, and they know that.
The fact that you have them upset enough to indulge in such an
amateurish attempt at psy-ops tells me you have hit a nerve. If
they consider what you do so dangerous they have to try to shut you
up, by trying to trick you into censoring yourself, by all means
keep doing what frightens them. It's obviously working.
That said, I don't think a troll like that deserves any more
attention than to illustrate the kind of deception to which the Left
will stoop.
Best Regards, and thank you for all your excellent work.

Turn down the anger....that emailer must be on another planet!!!
You're the "canary in the coal mine". We need "loud and persistent"
canaries not meek and mild!!!! Global cooling is the most
urgent situation this planet is facing and the scientific/political
canaries are sleeping in their cages!! Turn up the heat!

Great blog and website. Keep up the good
work. I just want the truth and you are providing the other side of
the dialog regarding weather, politics, power and money.
I wish you had cartoons of Al Gore dolls buried
in snow throughout the world, that would be funnnnnnny to me anyway.

Don't see you as angry at all, Enjoy the information presented. I

Hi Robert,
anger? I think not.
extreme annoyance at being lied to, seeing falsehood after falsehood
promulgated to scare people who are kept dumbed down with ONLY
approved Pro Warm media bias.
thats justifiable I feel.
when every single day I tune to the Govt funded so called
Independent ABC Aus radio and hear an idiotic referral to something
so far unrelated it isnt passingly credible, referred to as
another example of Warming CC and now climate disruption.
sheesh! That person would REALLY see some anger if he was around my
home! boy would he,
One bright spot is that we not to be gullible little folks have a
petition going to address the Serious Temp errata thats been
adjusted UP as ever...by the Bom and CSIRO in Aus.
New Zealands were doctored and shown to be so.
so have ours been!
Personally the amazingly stupid statements made by Gore et al with
NO proof but models and their word.. is well worthy of satire, they
deserve every toon and joke.

"Keep blasting away at them Robert.....we got their attention.....I

Robert,
Keep up the good work. And to the brave soul who didn't even have
the nerve to put their name on the letter, go away! Sooner rather
than later. Those who cannot stand passion have some other motive
than the best interest of anyone but themselves. Keep being
passionate. None of us will agree 100% on anything, but I come to
your site everyday to see what has sparked your interest today.
Don't change anything!

My first thought
was Gooood Grieeef!
The person who
criticized you is either engaged in psy-ops to reduce your impact or
they are a person with a very weak personality who cannot stand a
robust discussion or debate. The situation we are in (with the
global warmers diverting attention from the horrifying dangers we
will be facing in the future) is way too dangerous for the faint of
heart.
Please keep up
with your comments. Many people who are new to the truth of the
"global warming" scam actually will benefit from your comments. You
often bring up the hypocrisy of the promoters of manmade global
warming, giving historical context to much of what is being pushed.
I have often
thought you were actually very mild in your comments. Please "Keep
On Keeping On". Regards, Beverley
Vann |

Yes, keep the comments out. Try to balance the
reports (include pro and contra arguments for a global cool down -
that adds credibility). Give top scientists room for brief guest
articles.
These are exciting times for climate research
of all disciplines. We are out for the truth, whatever it is (I
personally think that in the next 30 years at least the odds for a
period of global cooling are larger that the odds for a warming
period)
I enjoy very much reading your www page.
PS: I really enjoyed your interview with the Swedish radio station.

Hey Robert, just seen the 'tiresome anger'
comments.
1. The person was respectful which means there is no
no need to go ninja on
them, as some have suggested.
2. IF you're not p*ssed
off and angry you don't know the truth.
Keep up the good work.
P.S.
I heard the interview with Henrik, great stuff, the Steen mountain
seems like the smoking gun from hell!!! I saw this on a doco called
Magnetic Storm. How on earth can people see this and not see the
bigga pitcha!

I wouldn't pay any attention to the negative email you received. The
writer gave away his/her position when he said "your vendetta
against the global warming movement". I, like most of the others,
have not felt any 'anger' from you at all. I wouldn't call your
thoughts about the AGW scam a vendetta. Your position comes from
scientific fact, common sense, and logic. The consequences of this
fraud if successful will be horrendous for us, the 'little people'.
Keep up the good work, and full speed ahead!
