We're raving empiricists, and could care less for the rapture that theorists have with their castles-in-the-sky modelling work.<BR/><BR/>That is one of the reasons I have a really hard time believing the scaremongers: I live and breath models and earn my living by doing so. I know GIGO is the only truly fundamental truth in modelling: garbage in, garbage out, and if you don't like the results you "adjust" the data and "calibrate" the models.<BR/><BR/>Like the man said: follow the money.

They are somewhat tentative on assigning blame. They report that the ice caps on Mars are diminishing, the outside pole of Uranus is radiating more heat than calculated for its size and distance, in fact all of the gas planets are doing the same. The UN this year has downgraded the effect that mankind has on the planet, instead. blaming the bovine contingent of the biosphere. How someone can point to a particular area and say that it is the problem is beyond me. Systems are good for study but not living in, somewhere, something that is outside the system is going to slap you upside yo head. You won't know it's coming.Mike H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07098719665902045519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-1169379954495921192007-01-21T06:45:00.000-05:002007-01-21T06:45:00.000-05:00Her biogrophy says : "She received a bachelor’s d...Her biogrophy says : "She received a bachelor’s degree in Engineering/Operations Research from Columbia University in New York City and went on to receive her doctorate in climatology and ocean-atmosphere dynamics at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University."<BR/><BR/>I don't think you can attack her education. She certainly is entitled to her opinion and research that GW is man made.<BR/><BR/>The offensive part is the naked attempt at censorship! Either she misspoke and now is like a politician refusing to admit an error or she has lost touch with reality.<BR/><BR/>By the way you should know both NOAA and NASA pretty much buy into the man-made warming theory...I am sure they have folks of both opionions but to get funding from Congress they have to be careful.JHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13714435254731278105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-1169336620482968802007-01-20T18:43:00.000-05:002007-01-20T18:43:00.000-05:00I've seen the ads for her shows, but never had the...I've seen the ads for her shows, but never had the stomach to actually watch. Is there any kind of disclaimer that her opinions are her own or does TWC proclaim to promote this GW farce?Dan O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17861748308004322104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-1169277976412406242007-01-20T02:26:00.000-05:002007-01-20T02:26:00.000-05:00Good post, spook.

Try comparing rural weather station yearly temps to urban sites. You'll find there really isn't a warming trend of any significance in the sticks, away from the concrete. If CO2 is causing it, it should be causing it everywhere.A.C.

She says that everyone in every office in which she has ever worked says the same thing... human-caused global warming is bunk.
