Dude, your breath is killing me. EPA says.
Climate models can’t accurately project the weather 100 HOURS in the future

This is the controlling issue for this topic - we DO NOT understand how the earth's climate works at even a fundamental level. If we don't understand how it works, how can we say that it is broken and it is the fault of humans??
Michael Mann is a pretty big “hole”, as well as that English bloke who’s ‘t5emporarily’ stepped down for his scientific colonoscopy.
Now I’ll go back and read about the other two... ;-P
Consider that for long term data collection, they are talking about weather data collected from over 150 years ago. In that time, land use, population, and measurement technology (accuracy and precision) have all changed. Therefore, when working with (analyzing) data from that far back climate "scientists" (although guessers would also be a good term) have to make adjustments to the data. There are several adjustments made, eg. for land use, population, technology, etc.
The 800 lb gorilla in the room that they don't talk about is that these "adjustments" to the data are larger, far larger, than the supposed man-caused warming trend. That's right. They may predict a 0.2 C increase per century or whatever, but the total adjustments to their temperature data may be well over 2.0 C!!! Obviously, a minor change in the values of the adjusting factors can wipe out, even reverse the man-made contribution.
So, how do the climate "scientists" know they are using the right adjustments? ... {crickets} ... They look at historical data and look for trends based on land use, population, technology... But wait, this is the very same data they are using to support their man-caused global warming...??? That's right, they have multiple unknowns, but only one set of data of questionable accuracy. We're supposed to trust their judgment. Trust the judgement of these same people who have been caught lying and falsifying academic and scientific work.
Man-caused global warming: perhaps the biggest scam ever perpetrated.
The next time some alarmist tells you that in 25,50 or 100 years from now the earht will be 3,5 or 8 degrees C warmer, think of long range (5 day) projected path of a tropical storm generated by computer models. Predicting the path of a hurricane 5 days out is a much easier problem then predicting climate 50 years from now. Now how often do tropical storms follow the long range predicted path?

#5 You can’t express the temperature of the globe as a scalar value to four decimal places without showing how you did it, and not expect people to doubt your results.
#6 We don’t know enough about what we don’t know about the climate. For instance the Pacific and Atlantic Decadal Oscillations may be on track to produce an unexpected 2 or 3 decade cooling trend.
Just off the top of this Round Earth Skeptics head.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTmbcyeZ9ic&feature=related from 2:59 on explains why this will NEVER change their minds. Listen to the entire 9th part as well. If you want your eyes opened listen to the entire 9 part interview. I don’t mean to preach, but it’s eye opening.
“One of the many revelations from Climategate is that behind-the-scenes, scientists who buy into man-made global warming are admitting what skeptics have been saying publicly for years now: The globe has been cooling since 1998.”
If you ask a scientist why nothing can move faster than the speed of light, he doesn't tell you a terrible story about how koala bears will die if you don't believe the theory is right, does he?
Scientists who are confident and in command of the facts don't need to distort data and duck basic questions about the assumptions that are behind scientific theories.
BINGO!
Climate models can’t accurately project the weather 100 years in the future:
Bill Nye “The Science Guy”, made a huge, Bozo-like fool of himself yesterday on CNN. Anderson Cooper was actually pretty tough.
We need to quit arguing science with these people and realize this is about Communism and Totalitarianism. It’s politics, not weather.
