And no objective or scientific in nature
estimate provided by computer models of the climate system has any value of any kind
when the scientific understanding is low because the models are merely formulations of
understandings of the climate system.

The annual pulse of anthropogenic CO2 into the atmosphere should relate to the annual
increase of CO2 in the atmosphere if one is causal of the other, but their variations greatly

(2005)).

However, I became so angry at the need to point out the above
