There is not *ONE* MCGW 'scientist' who can answer all the questions in my challenge. ZERO, NADA, No One.....when their arguments are examined, they fall to pieces....

Are you at all open to the possibility that you are just wrong about everything?

I mean, seriously, the above is a statement of breathtaking hubris, and you make them all the time. You must recognize this, even if you believe that you are right. But your attitude suggests that your position is one of closed-minded ideology rather than an open-minded search for the truth. You seem to have convinced yourself that no honest person could possibly disagree with your conclusions, and you routinely belittle your opponents as intellectually deficient "nitwits" or mindless "cultists". This just doesn't leave any room for honest debate, although I applaud those who continue to try and engage you regardless.

But here's my question for you: suppose I am able to gather 12 leading climate scientists (from leading universities, decades of experience, published in prestigious journals, etc.), the very best that the MCGW "cult" has to offer, and they agree to meet with you in a closed-door session for 12 hours. They answer all your questions and explain everything slowly and carefully. Is there any scenario you can possibly imagine which would result in you coming out of that room with the realization that you have just been looking at this whole issue incorrectly, and now you finally understand what they are all talking about, and you get it?

If the answer is yes, then I think a little more humility is in order. If the answer is no, just say so, and stop expecting to be given any serious consideration.

Edit: Please note I'm not necessarily saying you are wrong about anything. Also, if you really don't see where I'm coming from, go back and read all 20(!) of your posts in this thread as a disinterested observer and ask yourself what you would think of their author.
