Whether more forcing variables introduced increases CI or not (it does) has no fricking bearing on my point.
It does when you're claiming one of the forcing variables dominates, is included int the model, yet the model does not display skillful fidelity.

My point is that because a model is wrong absolutely does NOT preclude carbon from being a driver.
Huh? That doesn't even make sense. The prediction of a climatic response is 100% dependent on identifying the drivers.

Models, like science are wrong wrong wrong until they are right. Inaccurate models are just part of improving science. Deal with it bitch.
No. An structurally incorrect model may produce results that (via luck) correlate with reality. But a model that fails to produce calibrated results can never be structurally correct.

OK. What are the first steps? The very first ones that should be taken?

Define 'partially responsible.'

Compare man's contribution of CO2 to the effects of water vapor in the atmosphere.

Don't know if this has been posted, but here is:

There is likely a strong consensus for AGW, but it ain't no 97% of all climate scientists.

I don't know where the Climate Cult gets that 97 percent number but it is crap. It is far from settled science. According to people (Al Gore) and others that first started sounding the alarm we should all be drowning by now.

When people like Al and the other cultists stop driving their big cars living in big homes and flying around in private jets killing off ozone so they can make money yelling Wolf Wolf get back to me.

What it boils down to is a group with an agenda trying to force the rest of us to think and act like they think we should.

The atmosphere cannot tell the difference in taxed CO2 and non taxed CO2. It cannot tell the difference in US and foreign CO2. It is either all bad or no big deal. All the sacrificing is being asked of US, and no one else. The cultists have been caught altering data to fit their conclusions and caught just flat out lying.

Sorry boys ,it isn't going to fly. Come the next couple of elections we are going to bring you back to earth.

That is absolutely true and something i made note if. The language i used in the OP was not specific enough.

What else did the 97% say?

In a world where politicians (UK) went to war in Iraq based on a ‘sexed’ up dodgy dossier plagiarised from a 12 year old PhD thesis. I wonder how confident they would be lecturing the public about the need for radical decarbonising economic climate polices, if they were aware that the ’97% of active climate scientists’ quote/soundbite actually comes from a students MSc thesis, that the Doran EoS paper cites?

the models, and subsequently the hypothesis of CO2 as a driver of increasing temperatures, ARE WRONG.


Again, this statement is bullshite. It does not follow simply from an inaccurate model that carbon is not a driver. It could very well be that inaccurate values for other input variables could be off causing error while carbon in fact could very well still be a driver. Thats how shite works and it runs contrary to the quoted statement. Period.

We can't even forecast the weather a week out,how can we forecast climate change years into the future?

That is right AUbused. I ask questions and you have no answers.

I've seen noone stating that carbon dominiates, only that its among our outputs we have control(to some extent) over.

Read my post above, I read his post as stating that models being inaccurate means conclusively carbon is not a driver. That's bad logic.

So we make drastic changes in our economy and reduce the standard of living for our citizens, while other countries do not. And when your models do not pan out,what then? "Sorry about that?"

the hypothesis to be drawn by the failed models is that carbon is statistically insignificant.

Im so sorry for your religion.

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!

Try again. Sorry for your anus after the pummeling its received here

Check that....you know what.....can we start over? I feel we've gotten off on the wrong foot. My name is Spidey........in my spare time I like to create alters to troll the motherfricking politics board of Tigerdroppings.

Seriously who does that???

the farmers almanack was written over 200 years ago and is more accurate then the climate change experts of today.

it's funny you think you've won this argument....

Good thing is your made up degrees mean you are still nothing but a field tech, and have no contribution to scientific knowledge

Wait, does this mean we can't be friends?

Try telling the motherfrickers at Google, who will shortly be running the world, that they are still field techs.

I'd wager that they've made some pretty astonishing contributions to search algorithms, tree traversals, geocaching, just to name a few off the top of my head. Not to mention that their AngularJS library is about the most excited I've been about a tech in my professional career.

I hate to disappoint you, but I create software to run companies. There are support tiers to handle the day to day break/fix and ID10T errors. Seriously tho....lets hug it out.
