   It's called an "Appeal to Authority," and it's a fallacious argument.   
      
   fal·​la·​cious fə-ˈlā-shəs   
   Synonyms of fallacious   
   1   
   : embodying a fallacy   
   a fallacious conclusion   
   a fallacious argument   
   2   
   : tending to deceive or mislead : delusive   
   … false and fallacious hopes …—

   Your "Position" would not be acceptable on a high school debating   
   team, not actually constituting any real "Argument."   
      
   What happens is that stupid and/or dogmatic people have an emotional   
   need to support/defend a position, but lack the intellect to   
   challenge ideas presented, deconstruct arguments and verify claims   
   of fact. So they don't bother. Instead, they engage in a "Fallacious"   
   argument.   
      
   Gwobull Warbling is a hoax. And just one fact alone is enough for   
   the emotionally stable to see this fact:  This make pretend "Climate   
   Science" only ever compares the Holocene to itself, and even then it   
   only ever compares to closely related points within the post   
   industrial era to themselves.   
      
   Now you don't know what I just said, much less why that excludes   
   AGW "Science" from actually being science, but that's what makes you   
   so funny.   
      
   You're hilarious!
