D, one of the really questionable aspects of the CO2 model is the prediction of temperature changes as different altitudes. The satellite data is totally different than the model predictions. There is also a section in that interview that talks of the mini ice age in the 17th century. This corresponds to very low to no sunspot activity that seemed to be a stagnation of the 11 year cycle.

So I wonder that anyone would presume to know what going to happen in 100 years when we really have no good data for more than 20 years for the whole planet. El Nino events show that entire regional patterns can changes on some cycle and what other longer and shorter term events do we just not know about.
