scrawled the following:



What most of us (we deniers) dispute is that the science backs the
AGWk alarmists' claims. Much of that lies in the fact that even the
w(h)eather men can't predict the environment for a couple days, let
alone 100 freakin' years. Your Nobel Prize winning Algore can't, with
his hockey stick figures, either. Feh!


Actually Larry, your wrong. The weather people can consistently get in
right, but your local weather events get a bit iffy after 7 days. This
is easy to prove by jotting down the forecasts every night for a week
and then comparing them with what actually happens.
Sadly, no one does this, so the old myths prevail.........

And long term..- well, they predict it will get hot in summer and cold
in winter - and they have been right for a long time now.....

And ED H. is correct- I don't have the skills or knowledge to evaluate
the knowledge. But when the MAJORITY of scientists, working in THEIR
specific feld of climatology, say it is so, then the odds are pretty
good it is so. And is some other scientist with a degree in some other
discipline says it is not so,.......draw your own conclusions.

And here in Southern Oz - worst bushfires on record, nearly 200 dead,
hottest recorded day ever (47 degrees C), longest run of days over 40
degrees C, 11th year of drought (another record) our major river
systems are turning into toxic sewers - yes, each individual event can
be explained in some "not climate change" way. But all of
them?.....and, it does match the models the scientists have worked out
re climate zones moving south and more extreme weather events (another
Katrina, anyone?)

And it would be totally presumptuous of me, as a blue collar high
school graduate, to say I know what is really going on, all I can
judge it by is the Scientific Model of Evaluation I learn in science
class a LONG time ago. (I constantly get amazed when people show me
new buttons on the calculator, and what they can do - far out!-
theres a button that does trig functions, wow, used to take ages with
paper tables - you can now get the wrong answer so much more quickly)
(This was in working out taper angles BTW)
