Socialized Health Care in the USA

In the world of computer modelling, I can only imagine that the last two decades loom rather large, given what we can do now that we couldn't in 1989. I don't think there is anything like a 'grand climate change model' that you can simply plug current data into, and reveal the past and future with accuracy. I think the general approach has been to break the problem into chunks and model each individually with more reliability, then put the pieces together to obtain a more realistic whole. Perhaps there are papers available which offer more helpful details for someone like yourself who might actually understand them. Realclimate.com seems to offer quite a lot for the interested specialist, although I'm not sure source code is one of those things.

I have some good friends who worked on super computers to build cloud and climate models. They are very complex, but still reality is even more complex.

My understanding is also that nobody has successfully constructed a plausible competing theory. Attributing past climate change without including a significant role for carbon dioxide forcing is (apparently) not feasible with current data and theory. Once you've given CO2 a major role when attributing past warming, it's pretty tough to come up with any prediction except that adding lots more to the atmosphere will lead to warming.

It might be also that no one wants to hear alternative theories, since they wouldn't support their personal or political agenda.

Do you understand who helped found the private firm named "Chicago Climate Exchange"? Do you know who are the largest investors in CCX? Have you ever heard of Generation Investment Management? Some names you might know in and around the Obama administration, like David W. Blood (see Goldman Sachs), L. John Doerr and his wife Ann(see Environmental Defense Fund).

There is a group of people here who maybe don't give a rats patooti about the environment, but who hope to cash in on the fear mongering in promoting an uncertain future. It's only slightly better than a military industrial complex that cash's in on keeping the world in a state of perpetual war. Could I interest you in an environmentally safe bunker?
