GK> So I ask you for the third time: what is your scientific qualification?

Qualified enough to spot your inherent comprehension problem. You can have
a degree in something but that does not necessarily mean you know everything
on the subject. That is an authoritarian response to assume that a degree
proves absolute knowledge or even qualification.

Just like its an authoritarian response to hide behind religion and bible 
quotes when asked about gay marriage or abortion. The person doesn't give a 
logical answer, just one that aligns with their belief that God is absolute.

I have met people and have extended family-connection with those who are 
extremely high functioning with university degrees and "qualification" in your
view, but they cannot parallel-park their car or spot a Microsoft scam or
cook a meal to feed themselves if their life depended on it. They can score 
high on IQ testing but can fuck up a simple cup of coffee.

You assume that I must believe and recognize your definition of authority or
qualification. That I must believe that a scientist can never be paid by
corporations or persuaded by politicians to do studies biased in their
favour. To believe without question that climate science is never wrong?

I then asked for your scientific qualification. You said, "Doesn't matter".

Thats why you're being rediculed. I'm consistant with what I believe in, 
you're busy moving the football goal-posts to wherever your belief takes you.
