We have a bad habit of only looking for just one cause of things when it might be several influences together in the right combination.

I think this may be why we can’t figure anything out. We are not open to looking for “combinations”.


liberals look at just a few data points of a complex system and think they understand it and can control it.

Can we even count all the variables in climate?

I agree... A butterfly on one side of the earth could create a hurricane on the other side... lol

We really do not know it all.

No.

Weather is a dynamic system, always in a state of flux, which is why it’s next to impossible to accurately forecast anything more than a couple days out.

It’s like trying to hit a randomly moving target from a galloping horse.

Plus, I doubt we even know all the variables in what affects climate and weather and know HOW they affect them.

We cannot know what we do not know. That is why, all the “scientists” working backward from the desired outcome, must rely on something called the “Finagle Factor” to always make their calculations and predictions come out right, or at least seem to be plausible.

Science, REAL science, cannot predict anything, cannot explain fully any phenomena, and is never settled. The scientific method is a process, not a conclusion.
