Paul Erlich bombed ;-)

As soon as I heard that pseudo-scientific alarmist hack’s name thrown out there I knew this was all bogus. I remember his “Population bomb” theory back in the early 70’s saying we would overpopulate and all starve before the end of the decade. Same doom and gloom, the end is near if we don’t spend money and radically change our lives right now, BS.

The Navier-Stokes differential equations describe air flow. They are highly non-linear. Nonlinear differential equations show a sensitive dependence on initial conditions. This means that long term prediction is not possible, though short term predictions can be useful. This effect has been widely known since Edward Lorenz, in 1969.

A 40 degree swing in temperature is found in the desert, with 20 degrees common in other places.

Claiming that one can predict climate changes of fractional degrees (complete with error bars) from non-linear differential equations shows that one hasn’t done one’s homework.

"climate scientists at the National Academy of Sciences say they are tired of “being treated like political pawns”

I suggest they get their paws of of taxpayer funded grants in which they lobby for, to push a failed agenda.

Ehrlich has a Wikipedia page found here I'm a Moonbat.

“A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our economic system (especially patterns of consumption) into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation.” Paul Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich, “Population, Resources, Environment” (W.H. Freeman, San Francisco, 1970, 323) This quote has also been attributed to John Holdren, Erlich’s co-author, who now works with Obama in the White House.
