Ah, Californica, the epitome of how environmentalism can cause self
destruction.

Of course he didn't. AGWists never do, they just repeat their propaganda.
Goebbels would have been proud of them.

The fact that REAL DATA totally undermines their case is of no interest to
them.

Wouldn't matter if you did. The models are FUCKED !

Forget where I heard it but to model climate accurately you need something like 150
variables and the IPCC is using only about 90. The 90 they like.

Besides, models only model LINEAR systems !

Climate is CHAOTIC.
