"1. No science can model the system. Wild claims have been repeatedly proven to be false. The alarmists have no credibility. Why are the wild claims made?

Bob, again, this is alarmingly ignorant of statistics. Please go read up on statistics so that you can contribute intelligent posts to this thread. You don't need to model an entire system perfectly to form conclusions about variables in that system. Science is able to model parts of systems, which gives us excellent information to work off of. They do it all the time. Sometimes your posts are breathtakingly ignorant."

Outrageous! I am old enough to have experienced the great group thinks scares of our times and scientific enough to have done enough modeling to know the falacy of your statement above. I have done both steady state and unsteady state modeling of chemical systems. I am often reminded of the old statement of garbage in = garbage out. Depending on the assumptions one can get what results one wants.

Breathtakingly ignorant? Have you learned what methane is yet?
