Heard tonight on the KUDLOW REPORT (CNBC) that 114 out of 117 significant Global Warming and Climate Change alerts by the worlds top Climatologists
since 1990 turned out to be wrong.
(source: http://www.nature.com/nclimate/opinion/index.html )
"Climatology" is not an exact science, even from the PHd's .

This is all I get from your link:
Recent observed global warming is significantly less than that simulated by climate models. This difference might be explained by some combination of
errors in external forcing, model response and internal climate variability.

I am only reporting what I heard reported, and using the reference provided by CNBC.

Well David, first we understand the problem. The earth's 'pollution' as you put it is has been going on for a few billion years. This natural
pollution has always been absorbed through natural cycles. In a blink of an eye we've added real pollution that our planet has not been able to
absorb. That's why CO2 levels have been rising.
The natural cycle adds and removes CO2 to keep a balance; humans add extra CO2 without removing any. Does that make sense to you?

That statement starting with "In the blink of an eye-----" is so wrong and / or unsubstantiated and illogical on so many levels I don't know where to
begin-----so I won't.
(I would be wasting my breath)

Well Barry, the industrial age started just over a hundred years ago, in geological terms, that is indeed just a blink of the eye. It's hard to say
exactly what the net effect will ultimately be, but it would be pretty naive to think that pouring trillions of tons of c02 and other gases into the
atmosphere wouldn't have any effect on the climate.

Seems pretty straight forward to me....yes there has always been climate change...but man-made climate change has drastically altered the rate of
change. And to me, it's the rate of change that seems to be the problem, challenge, what ever you want to call it...unless of course you believe the
scientists that claim that smoking does not cause cancer.

As dependent as we are on fossil fuels, I seriously doubt if it is reversible. Nature will take care of it eventually, as the planet becomes less
hospitable, the population will decline until we achieve a balance again.

You may be onto something here Mono.
Makes you wonder if the earth has a finite life and were all just temporary inhabitants.

If it can be found "Earth, a Living Organism" is a good read...
