For your AGW, Climate models were created using speculation equations. Those equation tweaked to show the relationships of CO2 and energy being captured have predicted wrongly the current global temperatures


Wrongo dongo... typically models are composed of empirical, semi-empirical and statistical equations. I'm sure you're aware of the equation V = IR. This is a semi-empirical equation, with R being the tweaked parameter - Resistance. Now I'm sure you can't come up with a more detailed equation from the atomic level (say using atomic radius, atomic number, valence state, density, etc., etc..)... You get what I mean? I mean we can only model so much empirically with reliabiility and utility. To dismiss the entire modelling effort of the climate scientists is sheer idiocy IMO. Nobody is claiming they're 100% accurate, but from a macroscopic perspective, they provide enough information to indicate which direction we are going in (and in the long term that's warming and probably catastrophic in the longer term - i.e. mass extinctions, floods, wildfires, drought, extreme weather events anon anon. Much of us have noticed that this is already happening, but it's going to get a lot worse over the next 20 to 50 years). So deny on dude. You're logic is thin and doesn't hold water. Stick to wiring panels and operating the ohmmeter. Try not to get electrocuted in the process.
