Today I have been inundated with news stories about this global warming conference, carefully timed to coincide with articles about Bush forcing spin onto the "scientists" involved.  
One recent article, in discussing this upcoming "report" boasted that the number of computer models they used to predict the future climate change had increased threefold. (up to something like 17 from 6, whatever)

Frankly, the use of computer modeling to predict anything much past next week is something they won't even do on the Weather Channel, so why some of the same people feel ok about making sweeping generalizations about future global climate based on what a computer "tells" them. Artificial Intelligence, btw, is hardly more than a theory, so computers can still, at this point in history, only tell us what WE TELL THEM TO TELL US. (basic programming, 101, computers don't make decisions, people do)
If any computer scientist can tell me I'm wrong, I will gladly offer a retraction. But I'm really not holding my breath here. 

Saying that 17 computers told you it was going to rain is no more valid than saying one did.
Picture this headline:
14 idiots think I'm right...(up 12 from last week). That 700 percent increase in support from idiots doesn't do much for my confidence, thanks.

I live in New York City. The temperature in a 10 mile radius varies by as much as 5 degrees on any given day, at any given time. So, riddle me this... if these doomsayers are saying that 2 degrees will raise sea level 50 feet, then why am I not wet right now? The temperature went up and down 15 degrees in ONE DAY today. So 2 degrees over 100 years is going to KILL US? Please.

More later, if I can bear to think more on this... I can't believe the republicans and businessman are preparing to cave in on this. It should be an easy fight. PROVE SOMETHING... what's that? NO PROOF? A computer model? I have a computer model that lets me pretend to be an elf in a magical land and slay dragons... What else do you want to pretend today?
