He doesn't misunderstand. He is deliberately mis-quoting and distorting in order to further the anti-climate science agenda. You will never persuade him because he does not want to debate or learn, only to try and create as much doubt and confusion as he possibly can.

The doubt and confusion arises from other things like the Arctic ice still being there, when Al Gore said it would all be gone by last year. Or reports a decade ago saying the skiing industry in Australia was doomed, while we get the best snow falls in 25 years. Or statements that the last drought may well be a permanent event, only to be followed by the rains and floods we were never meant to get again, and which were never going to fill our dams again (there's $9 billion worth of mothballed desalination plants backing that claim).
You are most welcome to be very pro-climate science and unconfuse me and to allay my doubts about the latter examples.
I would also be delighted if you could provide one single example where I have "misquoted" a single thing. Should be a very simple task for you to do, as you infer I do it all the time.
I'll be very interested to see what you come up with, including what I have supposedly been "distorting", since when I quote, I copy and paste, and give references so that you can go to the original source and make sure I've highlighted and copied correctly.
