The left has this habit of declaring that nasty partisan politics is whatever the right does. While the left is pure as the driven snow and untainted by partisan or economic motives.

Do you think that the right has not done what I stated wrt to "research"? Look up either Irving or William Kristol (sp??) one of those two started things down that path. Heck, look at Cato just recently wrt to global warming. They were dangling $10K research grants in front of anyone who could provide some research debunking the current global warming data. They really like to keep bashing their head against the bricks for some reason.

Regarding the left, it is full of nutcases as well. I agree there.

I do not believe that the science as it stands can predict the climate as a whole, and I have not seen any evidence to the contrary.

Climate models do quite well. The above statement is nonsense because you fail to specify a degree of accuracy. If you want the models to predict each year's average to within one degree you would have a point. But it simply shows your ignorance to say you don't believe the models. How inaccurate do you think the models are?

The global warming catastrophists...

I'm not interested in the catastrophists. I'm interested in what the best research is showing.

Please show me where current best research denies the existence of the medieval warm period or the little ice age.

Please show me the scientific paper that has figured out how to distinguish the part of global warming that is manmade from that which has been going on since the end of the little ice age.

Did you read the 90% confidence language that scientists wanted in the current report regarding human causes, but the diplomats got it dropped? I doubt it came from a single paper, but that is what scientists are saying. It comes from thousands of papers.
