conundrum said:You all make it sound like climate science is some sort of guessing game, a bit of a wheeze when in fact you have all read too much tabloid and hype nonsense regarding it.
How can you say this, we can't begin to cmpute all the factors taht go into the climate. Were only just now bring in fluid seas, In the advanced climate modeling. Let alone all the other facts that make up the complex system. Its easy to say one thing has an effect, but its taken out of context. With out the entire model, modeling everything you cann't see how it all interacts. some of the stuff we are just researching, yet alone starting to model them.
Also I love it the way newspapers every year say were having increased flooding. However most of the flooding around me is caused by building on floodplains, or diverting waterways. then they wonder why they have flooding. I would love to see a study of the impact of building on floodplaines and altering waterways and the link with increased flooding.
