I am not against computer models, I just don't think the track record of climate forecasting is strong enough to support the claims being put forward as sacrosanct.
A few decades ago we were all going to freeze to death, and now the opposite is true. If scientists were wrong initially, why should we believe them now? Much of the recent data
actually contradicts what the models have been predicting, and yet the hysteria continues unabated. In fact, the more fear is whipped up regarding this issue, the less likely it appears to be even a small concern.
Furthermore, I never said the universe wants to mess up our plans, I said that the universe balances our all of intentions and actions. This phenomenon is also known as unintended consequences, karma, and is a primary part of most religions in the world today.
An example of this balancing mechanism in the universe can be seen in Africa. As rich countries have tried to help the continent over recent decades, the standard of living has dropped, not risen. The exact opposite intended effect has taken place, and yet the world continues doing the same thing, hoping to get different results.
Another example of this balance can be seen in the issue of tax rates. Since Ronald Reagan began cutting the top marginal tax rate in 1982, the percentage of money paid to the government by the top 1% has risen from 19.03% to about 40%. Conversely, taxes paid by the bottom 50% has dropped from 7% to less than 3%. Rather than getting less money from the rich, the complete opposite effect has occurred, the government has gotten more.
When Hamilton goes a whole winter without snow, then maybe I will start believing what the climate models are predicting. Until then, it's all just a lot of noise.
