Gaia has a way to keep things in balance over time. Her cycles do not conform to human thoughts or ideas of what climate should be.

People always forget we are on a marble, orbiting a giant (ok, really not that much of a giant) nuclear gas ball - which is itself orbiting a galactic center, which is orbiting another center somewhere in the universe. With all of this movement measured in the hundreds of thousands of miles every year we are never in the same spatial environment, period. Today we may be orbiting our sun a little closer than average, in ten years, gravimetric perturbations may alter our orbit a little bit further out. We may pass through a little denser portion of space or one that is almost completely void of anything.

But taxes will fix everything!

I am skeptical that we have sufficient knowledge to make accurate predictions either way. Human emissions are not the only or even the primary driver of the global heat equation. The equation is a multivariable non-linear differential equation, but we haven't even figured out the ORDER (complexity by input variables) of the equation yet, much less solved it. That over 90% of hundreds of computer models have OVER-estimated temperature growth rates indicates scientist bias. If there were no bias, we should expect roughly equivalent OVER- and UNDER-estimations. This video is just more evidence to me that we have less understanding, and are in far less control of the climate, than we would like.

I am not a climatologist. I make no pretense of being one. Sadly, there are not many "scientists" who are as humble as I. However, the government creates an environment in which they are suckered into overstepping the bounds of their discipline. When the government issues Requests for Proposals, scientists are led to respond. Ever since the politicization of climate, the government has been calling for studies proving the hypothesis of man-made climate change. Gee, how shall our scientists (at least those wanting to earn a living) respond? Meanwhile, the handful of actual climatologists seem willing to accept their humble lot in life, and have yet to join the fray.

CPT Jack Durish - Absolutely. I am also not a climatologist. I'm only an engineer who's done most of his work in the heat transfer problems of thermodynamics. I'm not sure where 'climatology' sits on the spectrum of science. If math and physics represent the left end of that spectrum, and the performing arts the right, I suspect climatology might sit between economics and sociology.

Col Joseph Lenertz - Climatology is an arcane branch of physics. I only know this because I studied meteorology as a sailor. (Basically, I took the same course using the same textbook as the midshipmen at Annapolis.) Sadly, it is greatly lacking in data points. Look at any weather map and you see a snapshot of weather conditions (temperature, windspeed and direction, barometric pressure, et) all at a few thousand points worldwide. Anyone who has ever sailed knows how inadequate this is. For example, while becalmed, I've watched others glide by with a breeze a few hundred feet away. Meanwhile, we both occupied the same area covered by one data point. Climatology requires millions of data points over a span of millions of years, including many more factors (solar energy, gas composition of the atmosphere, etc)
