Anyone heard from Sagebrush?

It doesn't seem like he's posted here in a long time. Because of his age and his denial of science I worry about whether he might have gotten Covid. He was an idiot and liar, but he was a character and I hope he's doing okay.

Update:

Ah, Dirac2 the troll.  What are you going to do when this ends tomorrow? Will you spend your day, wandering the street, coming up to each person you meet and saying "I know who you are, you're Dirac!", like some old rummy? That's not much of a life, you should really try to get back in touch with reality and interact in an adult way with your fellow human beings.

Update 2:

 Anonymous, who won't miss Kano or Sagebrush, remember Donne's Meditation XVII: No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Update 3:

graphicconception, thanks for explaining the anagram!

    the forum has not been the same in many years. It was a lot more informative 8-15 years ago. Posters like Kano (RIP) were misinformed, but at least willing to check facts. Others became more trolls like Dr Jello, Solarwind and many others. Great insights from Pegminer, Teresa, Trevor over the years!

    I miss the old times.

    One or two have gone missing along the way. I hope they are all well.

    I shall be able to retire my monica now. I have no more use for a name that is an anagram of IPCC and anthropogenic.

    He reduced his posts when Lib(ido) Crusher started his shenanigans.

    At first Sagebrush agreed with his methods, but as he continued, there was no way to defend that nonsense.  Sagebrush just attacked those who accept AGW as a fact with his, often out of context and even manufactured "quotes" and pretend to be a good Cristian at the same time.    To deal with that is simple, simply point out Sagebrush's quotes and repeatedly pointing out that his ridiculous claim of his "god having a hand on the thermostat", made his god responsible for all the heat and cold related deaths.  It took a while to sink in with him and he did try to change the formulation once, but I wouldn't let it go.  With people like him (who are hiding behind the good things Jesus has done) you have to be relentless.

    But please, next time you play chess with pigeons, don't go into lengthy explanations, while I and other here really did enjoyed reading them, they will deliberately misinterpret what you say.  Keep it short, establish what parts of the basic science is that they deny.  If they accept AGW is a fact, but claim it won't be bad, again, ask them to prove that.  Start by asking them to define "bad" as it varies.   it is a strategy where you can not lose.  Although, for some one like you who likes teaching at university level, it isn't much fun.

    Your ultimate aim is to have a reasoned discussion and find some form of common ground, which can't be had when some one denies basic science.

    And to Jim Z, I know you are a decent guy, stop worrying about communists so much, the communist party is tiny.  Instead look into single payer health care, it is more efficient (cheaper and better outcomes) Isn't the justification for capitalism efficiency?  What do you do when capitalism does not offer the most efficient way for something we don't want to deny others access to?  And I agree that democrats can be idiots as well at times, but you chose to move to a democrat led state because of better economic future for you and your family.  Not asking you to switch parties, just asking you to be reasonable in your opposition...

    There are much bigger challenges ahead than global warming, solar panels are dirt cheap now, batteries prices are plummeting (I just ordered  another 7kWh) same for charge controllers and inverters.  Although they are going to need a lot more development and some really smart engineers instead of MBA's

    In any case, let me thank you and all others who did try to teach people like me something about AGW.  Even though it wasn't my primary reason to come here I did learn some things over this decade or so and do appreciate it.

    Good luck to all.

    You aren’t fit to even lick Sagebrush’s boots. He owned you every single time.

    I wish him well too, despite the fact he was rude, mean and hostile. He made me laugh sometimes. I hated it when he called you names, but I don't wish him harm either. 

    Ooo lookit, ''The Van'' is looking into the mirror and talking about himself...

    Funny how Davie Bwoi licks the Clown's boots and says ''your not fit to lick sagebrush's...he must be a bootlicker himself. Take care anyhow bootlicking Bwoi.

    And anonymous does not know the difference between decent and dumb. Poor little pathetic anon troll.

    To the other anon who says ''not miss kano'' well I wish both of you well, and if kano passed away, like Climate Realist did, may they both RIP. 

    graphicconception, you also take care of yourself and your loved ones. 

    xx

    Koshka, forever a maverik.
