Leaking Electrolytics

I rag John Larkin for regularly and consistently misspelling semester as semister. Everybody makes typographic errors, but he makes that mistake reliably. I really do known the difference between its (possessive) and it's (a contraction of "it is") but both words cone up often enough to be subject to the occassional typo.

Being civil to John Larkin is waste of time, he's much too over-confident to notice diplomatic correction.

Flame wars can be fun.

John Larkin doesn't want to be informed - he wants to be admired -and any suggestion that he might need to be better informed is taken as an insult.

Informing Cursitor Doom runs into a similar kind of problem - Cursitor Doom is addicted to particularly fatuous conspiracy theories, and resents being told quite how fatuous they are.

I'm not misrepresenting your "research" - such as it was - and I'm not trying to "undermined" it. It was a pathetic waste of time, and I just collapse your house of cards.

"Undermining" implies that that it had some kind of structure, and it didn't.

The really comical part of your story is your excuse for ignoring all the work that has been done on the subject since the 1890's - as a giant conspiracy theory to sell the world on anthropogenic global warming.

In fact you are a part of well funded conspiracy to ignore the science that started in the late 1990's when the fossil carbon extraction industry realised that anthropogenic global warming was eventually going to reduce their cash flows.

By 2010 this was obvious enough to get written up in a book that sold well.

In 2006 it was obvious enough to earn a chapter in George Monbiot's "Heat".

You've got the situation exactly ass backwards - which probably appeals to your enthusiasm for fatuous absurdity.
