He blames it on his age. I blame it on his attitude. That's a John Larkin quote. He claims to be still working. You really don't go in for careful reading, do you. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

You've been indulging in unmarked snips again. Rich Grise was complaining that climate scientists ignore orbital perturbations, while in fact orbital perturbations happen to be the accepted explanation for the Ice Age versus Interglacial alternations we've been having over the last million years. The point is that we need a healthy dose of positive feedback to make the explanation work and similar positive feedback mechanisms could turn today's barely significant global warming into an end-Permian style global extinction. It isn't a high probability scenario, but we are taling about the only planet we've got. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

More rational observers - such as the Nobel Peace Prize committee - think they do a pretty good job. For some bizarre reason you put your trust in a bunch of web-sites funded by Exxon-Mobil and other groups with a financial interest in being able to continue to extract and sell the maximum amount of fossil fuel, despite the dangers that this poses to our environment. This doesn't say anything good about your judgement. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

Not ice/albedo feedback of the glacials since that ice extended to mid-latitudes where there was enough insolation to matter. Not water vapor feedback because that doesn't seem to be occurring.
