I challenge "inoffensive".
As I indicated during the thread, I consideredsome of your comments to be a personal attack on me, and to a lesser extent to others and if the thread had not been locked by Admin, i was about to complain to our glorious leader and to ask him to apply sanctions: a step that I have never taken before, despite some nasty comments elsewhere.
I am pleased to note that it has already been done - thanks, Admin.

You are entitled to your opinion but, for clarity, could you please copy to this thread that which you found offensive i my posts. I cannot see anything offensive in them.
When you said
"John-Ha, as this seems to have degenerated into a personal attack on me, I will leave you to your opinionated delusions and false science.
I wish for future enlightenment for you - and no illl-will; at least on my part.
"
I responded with an immediate apology
"Ron
It was never supposed to be a personal attack on you and I am sorry that you have interpreted it as one. All I wanted to do was to point out you are wrong.
You opened the thread with "Now, as I understand it, ice occupies a larger volume than water, so if/when it melts, there will be a lesser volume of water and hence a lower sea level - so don't panic, Captain Mainwaring!
Yes?"
I point out that you are wrong.
You then stated "Melt water will amount to just a drop in the ocean - pun intended!"
I pointed out that melt water from Antarctica ice alone (if it all melted) amounts to 6.5 million cubic miles or a sea level rise of 58 metres. I don't think any sane person would call that "a drop in the ocean".
You then stated "I would have liked more detail regarding the amount of CO2 humans exhale, but my understanding is that it is phenomenal and by far the major contributor to global atmospheric CO2, overshadowing all other sources."
I pointed out that CO2 exhaled by humans and animals has zero contribution to atmospheric CO2.
You say I have "opinionated delusions and false science". I gave references for my science - you gave none!
I can understand that you feel you are being attacked but you aren't. I also realise that it must be very uncomfortable for you to have your misunderstandings and your incorrect prejudices exposed in the way yours have been."
Please let me know exactly what you found offensive.
