And the big one: if this is all caused by the influence of Jupiter and

R4 'news' this morning). Eating soyaburgers won't perturb Jupiter at all.

It is not Jupiter that is causing the rise in CO2 this time; it is civilised mankind.

When eight out of twelve forcing mechanisms are known only to a 'very
low' level of understanding, your claim would appear to be not well founded.

It seems that you have a low level of understanding of the other four!

The eight-out-of-twelve issue begs the question of what exactly it is
that climate modellers plug in to their models, if they have such a low
level of knowledge from which to work. Your remark suggests these eight
are irrelevant, yet so much treasure is staked on the models'
predictions. That's a courageous position to have to defend.
