  • Your point is well taken, polluting the planet is not good, however, the scientific data supporting the climate change argument are dubious at best. Anecdotal evidence does seem to support a link, however, long term data series are inconclusive.

  • Delusion

  • The fact remains that we cannot go on abusing the environment and milking it for all that it's worth without having to face any consequences. Just like how we have to face the consequences of spending on credit (primarily in the US and the rest of the developed world) now, believe in el nino or not, our actions today determine the impacts in the future.

  • What's even more ironic is your mentioning that financial data is "good". There are so many things wrong about that statement I really can't fit it all in here. But your implication that climate data is somehow not as "good" as financial data is so obviously wrong that I feel ashamed bringing it up. Any person on the street can tell you that Venice is disappearing without sophisticated meteorological instruments, but how do you expect me to swallow financial data coming out of the Street/Fed?

  • John, I agree with you that "global warming" has been highly politicized, but that does not completely discredit the entire field of the observational climate change. I happen to be a physicist, but forget about mathematical models for a moment. Do you deny that the population of the world is growing exponentially? Or that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas? or that sea levels are rising, coral reefs are being bleached?

  • Also, the comment about it being virtually impossible math to model winds, water temp, surface velocities is a strange one. The math is called computational fluid dynamics.

  • A very simplistic take on "Climategate" to be sure. While special interest groups for global warming may be making "millions" from the politics of climate change, we also know that special interest groups from Big Oil are also making millions from delaying action climate change.

    To say that there is no science to climate change because of a these few leaked emails (which don't say much) is misleading.

  • Awesome stuff John, thanks!

    Great book too!.

  • Well said John...Does this mean that Al Gore didn't invent the internet too ?
