re: #100 Interesting Times

The troll will either lie about or completely ignore this, but I’ll provide it here anyway for the benefit of any guests lurking on this thread, or people who stumble across it in the future:

The human fingerprint in global warming

Lindzen is a climate contrarian. Graph shows how his predictions compare with reality vs climatologist James Hansen

This is all based on modeling. It’s kind of like being convinced of future Kentucky Derby winners long before the races have been run.

The chart on the linked page was created in 2004 and did / does not predict the 15-year “hiatus” of global warming we are now in. The single most catastrophic event in human history, billions of dollars granted, invested and spent; thousands of universities, their students and their professors on the case, yet they missed it. Not only did the predictions fail, the earth actually got cooler since 1998. And those who claimed the “missing heat” was actually absorbed in the oceans were dealt a blow when a NASA / Jet Propulsion Laboratory study showed the oceans had not warmed.

It’s just a scam.
