    Not in the popular media stance at all. I'll try to respond to you and Gasser both here.

    In a few sentences: My stance is we really know only a little portion of a giant, open system. I also believe the massive human ecosystem out put affects Earth, but so do many other things. I think anthropo global warming exists, but many other parts of the system add to, neutralize, or take away from that influence at any given time. Unsurety in the system makes it important to study and try to influence positively, but we need to be sure of possible effects when taking major economic action.

    I'm against categorically rejecting any data simply because it's from "the other side". And categorically rejecting swaths of information because their just "best guesses".

    Warmest in 10,000 years?

    They drank the Kool-aid. Warmest in 10,000 years is a total joke. The life on Earth is 4 billion years old. Just to put the 10,000 years in prospective, life on earth is 400,000 times older than that 10,000 years.

    Global warming does happen as does global cooling.

    Just wanted to know why you put such faith in something so shakey . . and given the history of the whole global warming debacle you might be better off defending it with chaos theory instead http://fractalfoundation.org/resourc...-chaos-theory/


    Unpredictability: Because we can never know all the initial conditions of a complex system in sufficient (i.e. perfect) detail, we cannot hope to predict the ultimate fate of a complex system. Even slight errors in measuring the state of a system will be amplified dramatically, rendering any prediction useless. Since it is impossible to measure the effects of all the butterflies (etc) in the World, accurate long-range weather prediction will always remain impossible.
    You sure you went to college?

    So you're pulling a Bill O'Reilly now? We just can't know, because reasons?

    I'm good at all the math but ill admit im not the best student that ever lived. Not ad hominem just trying to figure out who i was arguing with. But now I have to ask, why all this schooling and youre still in the military?

    Not exactly sure what the number system equates to. I only took two calc classes. Differential and Integral for my degree and multivariable to complete premed reqs. Barely got Bs in both, but I'm admittedly a terrible student in math. I rarely went to class. For physics I took mechanics and then electricity and got As. But I got my degree in human biology.

    I'm not sure where you got the idea I'm a truck driver, care to show me the post? This is an interesting transition to ad hominem discussion about me.
