well with LGBTQ, it might be OK.

And when did Mr LBJ mention all that nice info? And when did all this climate stuff start changing? What about the known astronomical changes that were forecast, years before as well?
Co2 has zero effect. It is all caused by high and low pressure areas, not gases.
 
Why do we always look up when we need understand? Perhaps the heat is coming from below. Small changes in the Earth's mantle contribute greatly to our temperature. Then again, this is not climate science. It has evolved into Climate Evangelism.
 
What an indictment of the education system the last two posts provide.

I know that universities have long ago stopped teaching critical thinking, but this is ridiculous.

"If you don't have time to do the job right the first time, when are you going to find time to repair it?"
 
I'm sorry you can't understand critical thinking when you see it.
 

I think we're a bit beyond that. [pipe]

What I said.
No perturbation of a system will have zero effect on that system.
That doesn’t even require mathematical abilities to understand.

"If you don't have time to do the job right the first time, when are you going to find time to repair it?"
 
I think that if 'CO[sub]2[/sub] has zero effect' that mathematics may be beyond him. [pipe]

That approach has to be taken carefully, else we end up in Lorenz's butterfly condition, with a likelihood of an unworkable solution. Any changes/modifications have to be taken carefully and really monitored, for fear of creating a worse condition. It's not an easy problem to solve and way beyond my abilities. [pipe]

In this case it has been demonstrated, and the precise mechanisms scientifically understood.

Start here

"If you don't have time to do the job right the first time, when are you going to find time to repair it?"
 
I'm not sure of 'precise'. I think one of the problems is that everyone is looking for definition to the problem; this may not exist. Also one part of the problem is that historically, some people have made some WAGs that have been incorrect. An example of the type of problem is, "What happens if the Colorado river reaches 'deadpool' status?" What are the likely effects and has anyone looked at this model? The effects can be devastating and far reaching. That is one of the many issues facing the globe. [pipe]

dik,

I said the mechanism is understood. It is one of the inputs into a massive object of analysis, the global climate. So far the actual outputs are consistent with the model’s forecasts (and then understated by the spokespeople).

"If you don't have time to do the job right the first time, when are you going to find time to repair it?"

That's a lie.
 
Take it up with planet earth and the many dedicated scientists who study her, tug. I’m just the messenger.

One of the many benefits of your vaunted first amendment is that you’re free to talk any old sh!t. Heck, even firearms enjoy those rights!
Just don’t yell “fire!!” in a crowded theatre.

"If you don't have time to do the job right the first time, when are you going to find time to repair it?"
 

There seems to be a correlation. [pipe]

The current models don't accurately predict anything. They can't even represent the past. As connected to climate change brim is, he must know this so his comment is a lie.
