Mindmeld, > With statistics and scientific method, you can determine with a high degree of certainty whether something is a fluke or whether it is a systemic trend with highly probable causes.

If so, then the teraflops of compute power used by the top financial institutions can predict with a high degree of certainty where the stock market will go.

I restate my point: Computer models are only as good as the variables you code into it. I'm sure solar cycles and volcanic activity cannot account for all of the rise in temperate over the past few decades, but those are just two out of the nearly infinite variables that contribute to climate change.

And like I said before, I'm pretty sure six billion people on this earth are going to have an impact on the environment. (Heck, even a handful of arsonists had a profound impact on Southern California's environment over the past week.) But the alarmism isn't going to help, and neither will your continual rants against the oil companies and Bush. That's a very irrational way to deal with what you believe is irrationality.
