But since even the best computerized climate models can't reliably "predict the past," I doubt they'll be much better at predicting the future.<BR/><BR/>In a different incarnation, I've studied some geology and astronomy. Both lead me to conclude (a) that our current "climate change" is no different than those the Earth has experienced in the past (we haven't even reached the peaks seen during the Medival Warming Period, for instance); and (b) minute variations in the output of the Sun will cause variations in Earth's climate that dwarf anything that its insignificant inhabitans can possily cause. <BR/><BR/>Actual "science" demonstrates that the warming effect of the 0.3% of the atmosphere that is carbon dioxide---a mild and generally benign greenhouse gas---is dwarfed by the effects of our most potent and prevalent greenhouse gas: water vapor. In addition, there is a discernible lag time between a warming climate, and increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide---meaning that CO2 levels REFLECT an increase in global temperatures, rather than causing it. And geological history suggests that we're in the middle of a gentle cyclical warming (part-way through the last Ice Age and the Next One)...and that the next Little Ice Age shouldn't be more than a few hundred years away.<BR/><BR/>I could go on...but my general impression from what I've seen of the methodology of the "science" behind global warming, the authors would have trouble getting passing grade in a properly taught grad school class. This would make all the hype and hysterial laughable, if it didn't carry the danger of some very serious consequences. Fortunately, the climate seems to be starting on the downward slope on the next mini-cycle...and if we're lucky, the alarmists will be stuck explaning how Global Warming is now causing the planet to get colder.<BR/><BR/>We had the same hysteria over man-made Global Cooling in the 1970s; I suspect that the Chicken Littles of the world will always be with us.Jeff Caminskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03452066593646439709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683867836365129937.post-3881539474059732932009-03-24T14:32:00.000-04:002009-03-24T14:32:00.000-04:00Jeff, what scientific data are you aware of that ...Jeff, what scientific data are you aware of that credibly supports our government's current march forward under the Global Warming banner? It would seem to me that should such a hand in glove relationship exist between carbon emissions and global warming....a relationship that is being touted as the reason for a global legislative "answer"....there would have been a world wide public forum televised with multiple scientists explaining the science, etc... I've seen no more than a political forum. Should we not demand a more clearly reviewed and scientifically substantiated explanation? This "belief" is driving a potential Trojan horse into our "city".
