I should keep my mouth shut...I read the paper (not peer reviewed). They say other models can't be trusted, but used ONE Model to support their claims. There is a much better Paper done by Japanese Scientists on the effect of low cloud cover which seems to be controlled (at least in part) by the shifting Magnetic Field.
Even in their paper they cLaim : "“During the last hundred years the temperature is increased about 0.1°C because of CO2. The human contribution was about 0.01°C.”" And they don't think that is significant. One part in ten? So once again, you get a non peer reviewed paper that ignores the complex issues to label just on part as the real cause. And the only paper they cite...is one that backs their conclusion.
Science is sloppy, but over time, it keeps righting itself. More than a thousand papers were re-written because of the Japanese finding about low cloud cover and its impact. It is necessary to find out what we are doing (or not doing) to effect the climate, but the practical people are already dealing with the real impact of it-- even if we do turn out to be a non-factor. Just ask the Military what their studies of shorelines mean for our Cities and Naval Bases. They don't have opinions, only facts that they can act on...and bases like Newport News, have some pretty startling plans in place.
In New York City they are building a Wall for the Next Sandy...and if Sandy hit again, and you stood on that wall...you would be eight feet UNDER were Sandy surged in. That doesn't mean we have anything to do with it, it does mean we have to plan for what is actually happening.

Okay, that is my two cents...and it probably isn't even worth that. LOL

SGT James Murphy the intelligent person gleans from all information to assess the greater good. So folks should take their agendas out the mix and let the facts help produce the correct solution.
