Well, look, I know you don't believe it but I am an actual scientist....it happens to be, Computer Science, is what pays, but I have been deeply trained over 40 years of my career in Method. And of course, I was highly educated before that.
So, when we are reasonable together we can come to understanding. And Mr. E can tell us, even a jerk like me can change his mind based on evidence. And that still does not mean I chose a side.
So, I synthesize, from my own, not too small skills. That is why I can't provide just a single link to parrot. I am out beyond that. I research. No brag, just facts. I did the math when I discovered these precession data. I remembered my Dad's stories. It has nothing to do with Sunrise and Sunset or the calendar days of Solstice.
It is why we throw in the Leap Year.... It is why I used .98 days instead....my goodness. Simple logic. If you don't have that, you are lost in Politics.
Like the Cloud effect we argued about last year, well you argued, it is not a DONE DEAL. We are studying. But, like Cloud Effect, the Milutin Milankovitch cycle has been discounted for the politics and that is why you have trouble.
If you are honest with yourself, you have made up your mind, right? I have not. I dig deeper and it is not so Pat. It is not so cut and dried. Cloud Effect on ice and reflection (albedo) is not factored in to the current Myth. And the M-cycle is not accounted for either, in the DONE DEAL, of AGW.
So, can we even measure the warming? Yes, I guess. But, I read the Berkeley study differently and I've read the entire thing. Have you? It is still a toss up as to what is next, meaning 500 years. And it seems pretty sure, that 1) based on Exa-joules of Global energy exchanged, vs how much we are retaining and 2) the EJ output of mankind, we are not directly contributing. We represent the drop in the bucket.
So, again, this is not taking sides in a political debate. It is the discussion of variables the One Side, that is pushing this, ignores.
Finally, what difference can it make? We don't really know if man contributes indirectly even, the Carbon butterfly sneeze. But we do know Al Gore is getting rich.
So, the entire thing is false to me. It is a collision of the oil economy with the new Age thinkers, with few facts.
It has nothing to do with the Climate Change, that is just smoke screen, imo. The AGW Agenda is after Big Oil.
Do you admit it?
