#2 It notes that global climate models cant accurately register cloud effects.

The models were made for long (long in weather terms, 20daysish) term forecasting. The fact that "researchers" are using them for century long studies is ridiculous and laughable and dangerous. The data coming out is only as good and the data that went into the programming. We really don't have much of an idea on how upper atmospheric weather works. Combine that with solar cycles, unpredictable El Nino effects, butterfly farts, etc. and we have a very limited and flawed view of the planet's weather. Thus, the very limited and flawed data coming out of the computer models.

Sad that this has been hijacked by the anti-capitalist forces to try another way to make their view of the world forced on everybody else. Kinda like, "Its for the Children" mantra of others.

#4 Of course the Stupid Party, at the Congressional testimony, won't put any of these guys or Bjorn Stromberg on the list to testify.

We dont have perfect info, so lets chance a catastrophe. I sure hope youre not making policy on Iranian nukes.

#6 So you are saying you would rather listen to a bunch of people with the sole interest in crippling America's economy without any evidence that humans are responsible?

And who the hell are you listening to about Iran's nukes? The IAEA? Sounds like you are getting bum information from two questionable sources.

#8 The Chilling Stars: A New Theory of Climate Change, by Danish physicist Henrik Svensmark and former BBC science writer Nigel Calder

Poor Mr. Calder's social life has no doubt shrunk greatly now that his old colleagues are snubbing him.
