I should have said, "You have put your faith in junk science that cannot prove there is actually global warming that will continue unabated into the future, let alone the root cause." That is still nonsense. I read it several times, and cannot understand what you are trying to say. Nobody is claiming "global warming will continue unabated into the future", and "let alone the root cause" of what??? As for the rest of your post: Nobody expects you to "buy into" models that are proved to be technically deficient nor those that don't even exist. But you are expected to have a brain and a faculty of rational judgement that goes beyond the stuff handfed to you by government websites. Your position seems to be (and correct me if I am wrong) that global warming is currently taking place but there is no proof that anything we are doing as a species actually affects it. More specifically, do you stand unconvinced that global warming is affected by greenhouse gases released by burning fossil fuels? [That seems to me the only way you could claim, with a straight face, that global warming is not being affected by our industrial life and hence we should continue to ignore it] Say the word, and I will once more gladly destroy this particular illusion of yours :-) Show me a model that can perfectly recreate past known weather & temps on a global scale using known data. When that happens I'll listen to their purely speculative theories about the future, but I will still be skeptical. There is no perfect weather model to forecast even for next week either, but I watch the weather channel before packing for a weekend in London. I suggest you do the same.
