Hoe ****ing convenient for the climate shysters


Don't you just hate it when those pesky facts get in the way!

Actually no climate scientists says that there will be a 50 year lag.

What, not apart from all of them you mean.

Well even if they did, what of it. Just because Newton or Copernicus or
whichever astronomer it was who first predicted eclipses, did so,
didn't make them right. What made them right was that the eclipses then
*happened*, on time and on budget. And not just once.

Einstein's General Relativity was a *hypothesis* until his predictions
were *tested* via the Brazil eclipse of 1919 and the calculations about
the precession of Mercury's orbit. Only after that did his ideas get
elevated to the status of a theory.

The same applies to this climate stuff, I'm afraid. And don't try to
fob me off with any cock about what the models *tell* us. Models make
predictions, they don't *tell* us anything.


And the model predictions made during the mid-70s regarding the expected
temperature rise by the year 2000 proved to be correct.
