Williams begins his review by noting that "the major difficulty of climate modeling stems from the coexistence of climatological phenomena on a vast range of scales," some of which are simply too small to be adequately modeled at the present time. Among the latter "important unresolved features," as he describes them, are "ocean eddies, gravity waves, atmospheric convection, clouds and small-scale turbulence, all of which are known to be key aspects of the climate system." Furthermore, he forthrightly states that "the full spectrum of spatial and temporal scales exhibited by the climate system will not be resolvable by models for decades [our italics], if ever [our bold]." --A UK Modeler's Personal Perspective on the Status of Climate Modeling

That is a flat out great article.
Global warming is the new Lysenkoism. Both were political in origin, and never had any scientific support. The anecdotal support wasn't scientific or compelling, but intermittent reinforcement is the hardest kind to beat (as my psychologist buddy said, about something else).
Global warming hasn't got anything to do with UFOs or ETs.
Crichton has better stuff than this.
