No-one should claim global warming to be 100% predictable or linear. Meterologists often can't even predict tomorrow.

The Salby presentation I've pointed to earlier demonstrate that the computer models show that the predicted temperatures so closely and so exactly mirror the CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere that one does not even need a model even though the idea that CO2 is the only force impacting temperature is ludicrous. In fact, even limiting to the considerations associated with greenhouse gasses, CO2 takes a back seat to water vapor.

What the climate change scammers are doing is throwing so much shit at the wall that their adversaries cannot keep up. This is fine because when someone does the actual research and observation to cross-check and does find out that one of the 'dangers' is a load of BS, policy has already been made and that is never rolled back.

A good example is the 'ocean acidification' crap:

For one thing, the very word 'acidification' is bogus. The ocean is alkali. For it to move toward even becoming acidic at all it moves toward neutral (a pH of 7.0.) Thus, the proper term would be 'ocean neutralization.' The scammers, however, knew that the sheep had seen a James Bond movie where someone was thrown into a vat of acid and knew that 'ocean acidification' would scare the shit out of people. And it does. Especially scientifically illiterate greenies.

In my state there was a successful effort to tax people more for fuel so we could be more like Kalifornia. The whole political/media machine was awash in stories of 'ocean acidification' which was the hot and happening thing in green-scam-land at the time (last year) and it worked. Our DEQ is working on figuring out how to further fuck people as I tap this out. Theory was that all of the shelled creatures were going to dissolve and mother Gaia would die. After a year went by and there were more shelled creatures than ever, the 'scientists' are admitting their 'mistake.' Are the taxes being backed out? Of course not.

Our 'first lady' and her doddering old husband (Gov. Kitzhaber) were thrown out of office for massive green influence peddling and the scammery surrounding the gas tax (esp, what to do with the loot when it started to pour in out of Joe Sixpack's pocket) was a significant part of this malfeasance. Even after THAT the gas tax thing remains on the fast-track. Oregon is a one-party Democrat state and has been for long enough for these types of people to have become completely entrenched. Like a bad case of tape worms.
