Earth has been warming since the last ice age.
Spectacular events, such as volcanic eruptions, meteor strikes, and sunspot activity have affected the weather, to a degree (pun intended) that isn't fully understood. They're also sure to happen again. We just haven't experienced many (or any) of them in our short lifetimes, so we don't factor them in. Maybe Mt. St. Helens was the closest thing to something that really affected the climate.
All the king's men, computer models, and elite scientists can't predict too much of anything worth shit -- particularly if they don't have good data and scientific methods unadulterated by Gore-ism. Trends, maybe. Putting figures on it? Ha. Pinpointing the cause? Speculative.
An economics analogy: We just found out today that Obama's recent fiscal deficit projections by the smartest of the smart, elitist of the elite, were admittedly off by a mere $2 TRILLION. Bad modeling? And these are man-made phenomenon.
OOPS!
Not to mention the unemployment figure, which the emergency stimulus was to cap at 8% but now is about 16% including part-timers and those who are discouraged and lost hope.
If they can't predict man's behavior, how can they predict and model nature's? |
