[Terrapreta] Critical thinking or lack thereof

[Greg and April]

Sorry for getting into this late, been having migraine issues.

While you don't need perfect understanding, you do need a reasonably good understanding of how the various major factors interrelate, in order to keep from making things worse ( or even more undesirable throwing away a limited amount of resources in something you can't control in the first place ).

When the IPCC, flat out states that there is no need to factor in known variables ( because they don't know how to factor them in or that they don't think that it is as big enough variable to matter ), then there is a serious problem with the model, long before it even starts trying to crunch numbers to figure out what the end result *** might ***  be.


Yes, we can talk about retreating glaciers, but, let's also talk about the human artifacts that are being found after the glaciers have left the area.

Yes, we can talk about water level changes by looking at the water stains from previous years on the rocks and islanders displaced, but lets also talk about the natural geologic forces that can cause that.

Yes, we can talk about how we have years of official temperature recordings that appear to show a general increase in temperature, but let's also talk about how the local environments and locations of where the official readings have changed thus giving poor on going data ( does anyone here really believe that thermometers were just as accurate 150 yrs ago as the are today or that people were/are meticulous in taking the temps ?    I don't think so - in fact I have absolute proof that Denver CO should be in the middle of a glacial event - after all the average official temperature reading dropped by 5* F in less than 3 years.

There are still to many unknows that are affecting the weather, to just sit down and say this is the main cause, and this is what will fix it.    For all we know, what may look to be a fix, could actualy make things worse.
