@ebecker2000 The fact is that in both climatology and finance computer models are worshiped as the new golden goose. Step back and look at the mess these computers have been allowed to spawn. Garbage in, garbage out.The Planet will cool and the markets will crash, this prediction was made by the best supercomputer on the Planet ( common sense).

Einstein quote "If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?"

[ebecker2000]

@david222444 You are correct that science is never settled or that there's always a better explanation. But the new findings on the speed of neutrinos, does not mean that light DOES NOT travel at the speed of light. Just like the human contribution to Global Climate Change does not negate weather changes brought about by Solar Cycles, El Nino, Ice Age Cycles, moisture etc. The question about human activity is not so much "IF" but rather "HOW MUCH."

@david222444 What's the theory and who/what's your source?

[david222444]

@ebecker2000 Politics do not not interest me as it is politicians who rely on concensus and not scientists, to whom concensus means nothing but a challenge. Just as CERN and the Hadron collider has chllenged the fundamentals of Einstein's Theory , it is our Scientific duty to challenge any theory that cannot hold its own under scientific scrutiny. The Greenhouse theory cannot hold its own under scientific scrutiny.

@david222444 Even most leading Republicans believed that the human activities have contributed to climate change. See youtube watch?v=ckxLgsUQmHg&feature=pl­ayer_embedded#!

[ebecker2000]

@david222444 You are only partly right. Some areas (including parts of the southeastern U.S. and parts of the North Atlantic) have, cooled slightly over the last century. BUT the recent warmth has been greatest over North America and Eurasia between 40 and 70°N. and even of the eight warmest years on record have occurred since 2001 and the 10 warmest years have all occurred since 1995.

@ebecker2000 My sources are real time satellite data not corrupt scientific literature. If you manage to stop living in the past( when warming was caused by the active Sun ) and return to the present, you can even watch the Planet cool on a daily basis from your armchair.

@david222444 What's your source?

@ebecker2000 Pure and unadulterated megalomania. The Planet is cooling,
