> any possible effect may be so small as to be undetectable within natural variation <
Thanks for posting this, Rocky. All these Global Warming studies are published without any estimate of uncertainty. Ive been complaining about that for years.
We are now in the midst of perhaps the greatest scientific fraud of all time. And anyone who dares question it is slapped down. It would be funny, except that billions of tax dollars are going to be wasted on this mess.
It is a point which has been neglected for the most part in the climate debate. I have seen reference to uncertainty from time to time in articles by skeptics of man-made climate change, but this topic should have been front and center in the debate. We shouldn't be caught up in a debate about how much of a temperature increase was caused by CO2, when the effect of CO2 is well within the inaccuracies of the method we use to measure or predict it.
