Heck, the weatherman can't even predict the weather a couple of days out.
So we should believe the models for a hundred years out? Something does not compute here.

Now here is another problem... ahem.

We have these meteorites that are in outer space. NASA has been tracking them on a very limited budget. There are some very large ones that might take out a continent but there are more smaller ones that could merely decimate a city...

NASA is out of money and is giving up on tracking these
torn off pieces of planets.. The opinion of the speaker on the radio station on which I heard this said that in many ways
these meteorites are more dangerous than terrorists..

And we have no one currently following their movements...

That's another Natural event that God might reign down on us..
Not an Al Gore theory.

"But God, not from people!"

What an odd argument. I see no reason not to consider the possibilities of climate control as an area of scientific endeavor.

There is nothing particularly religious/anti-religious about it. My objections would only be to the politicalization of such scientific efforts.
