Somewhere I read that of the hundreds of variables that should be considered in any conclusion on climate change, the best models available are only able to handle a very low percentage of those necessary variables.

I wish I had bookmarked that article, because it used very easy analogies to help understand it, but alas, over time my memory has failed to recall the details.

I am just finishing a book I have enjoyed more than any other in years: The Black Swan.

One of my favorite passages:

”One needs to exit doubt in order to produce science - but few people heed the importance of not exiting from it prematurely… it is a fact that one usually exits doubt without realizing it.”
That, incidentally, describes James Hansen precisely.
