The point of the article is to describe an experiment which shows the sun’s effect on climate. Why is this tossed out so easily, given the experimental results to back the hypothesis (I’m not aware of the tests to prove man’s impact, what are they?).

1. How can we trust linear models which do not properly predict known data? Am I supposed to believe it will accurately predict the future climate?

2. And why are scientists still using linear models for describing global climate when newer techniques are available for modeling complex adaptive systems?

Whereas anyone who disagrees is obviously corrupt, ignorant, or both. Also, since ‘profit’ is so completely out of line with proper social(ist) responsibility, no corporation, except left-wing non-profits, can ever be anything but evil.

It’s been obvious to me for years that the radical left is a religious movement. Of course heresy is a crime.

Trivial point: anthropogenic (caused by man), not anthropomorphic (turned into man).
