Stronger evidence of global warming
by R. Ramachandran, in the Hindu Online Edition, Thursday, Feb 28,
2008
Area of glaciers reduced from 3,391 to 2,721 sq. km. between

1962-2004


But most probably growing during the cooling to 2008!


Yeah, like those pigs flying.

By 2050, negative mass balance of glaciers will be 90 per cent


This bizarre prediction, based on fudged, discredited climate models,
should be taken with a HUGE grain of salt, especially in a cooling
world!


Or one in which the speed of light is 60 mph.


I feel a disclaimer coming on ...

Disclaimer

The projections are based on results from computer models that involve

simplifications of real physical processes that are not fully
understood.

Accordingly, no responsibility will be accepted by CSIRO for the
accuracy of

the projections inferred from this brochure or for any person's

interpretations, deductions, conclusions or actions in reliance on this

information.

And further:

Climate model responses are most uncertain in how they represent
feedback

effects, particularly those dealing with changes to cloud regimes,

biological effects and ocean-atmosphere interactions. The coarse spatial

resolution of climate models also remains a limitation on their ability
to

simulate the details of regional climate change. Future climate change
will

also be influenced by other, largely unpredictable, factors such as
changes

in solar radiation, volcanic eruptions and chaotic variations within the

climate system itself. Rapid climate change, or a step-like climate
response

to the enhanced greenhouse effect, is possible but its likelihood cannot
be

defined. Because changes outside the ranges given here cannot be ruled
out,

these projections should be considered with caution.

Regards


Well, we know you don't understand science. You should include a
disclaimer on all your posts.
