The article is very telling. Especially the “carbon and temp. are linear…”Not the most believable part of AGW calculations. (Funny how they never publish the actual math) Then he explains how the atmosphere can be non-linear. How shocking! A non-linear fluid dynamic environment. Who’da thunk?

Until I see the math, including things like entropy and phase changing fluids…I’ll reserve judgment.

I did agree with one of the things Bryan pointed out. AGW is real…it’s going to happen even if the world holds steady in carbon output or even reduces. Flooding…droughts…melting. He says if you were putting your kid on a plane and the pilot says 1 in 100 it’s gonna crash…you don’t put your kid on the plane.

Either the government knows for a fact that our environment is going to change no matter what, causing large decreases in the population, or they are just using this “theory” to institute world-wide taxation without representation. I don’t mind either way. I’d just like to be told the truth. In one case, the goverment should outlaw internal combustion engines. And fossil fuel power plants. If static levels of carbon are going to doom people, they should shut it down completely. (You can’t get a permit to run a nuclear powered engine…That would be silly and dangerous) In the second scenario the government is just exerting their power in a broader way. Also ok with me…just tell the truth about what you’re doing.

Before the election, Obama said he would work to make fossil fuel power generation unprofitable. I would be ok with that. But he doesn’t say that anymore. He must not believe the “science” behind AGW. But I wouldn’t either…honestly. A scientist saying things like “glaciers are disappearing”. lol The water just vanished. It was destroyed without a release of energy! (try looking in the atmosphere…water…another greenhouse gas)
