I have yet to see a model that has been verified by inputting the starting conditions of the previous century, and coming out with something approximating the current conditions.

Actually, several do just that...but what they don't do is continue to work if you wait several years after they are written and input the data from those years. They are *trained* to mimic the curve of the historical record, not to actually model the climate to a precise degree.

I think the checkmate point for a denier to win against the global warming crowd...is to have a historian standing amongst them...and asking "If we accomplish all that you ask...in taking down the economy of the civilized world...and your change occurs which makes your mission successful...and then the natural occurrence of the glacier/ice age returns (as history so boldly says it will....over and over)...will you simply accept that period of life?"

My guess is that the crowd will not be able to answer that on camera and simply remove themselves from the question. For the public...that question would really sink in and make them all consider absolute facts that you cannot argue about. We will confront another ice age...it is only a matter of time. For an environmentalist...this is not within their mindset....nor would they ever worry about such a thing. In showing that behavior...you really understand the nature of the beast.

If you are a researcher today in any natural science, then a good step to take is to add the word global warming to your research paper and in your academic thesis. It will make sure you get your paper published in peer review publication. You can then advance in your academic career and get a higher salary.
At a Danish TV show about Henrik Svensmark’s works which I saw, he was interviewed. He told that when he presented his theory about 10 years ago at a conference it created a very strong emotional reaction from climatologists and the head of IPCC even told him that the work he was doing was irresponsible.
I show on my website data over the two existing theories.
