Scientist, I understand the difference between short term trends and longer term trends.

I also understand that it is easier to predict short term trends than long term trends. That is why insurance exists, and also why companies buy futures contracts to hedge against unknown risks in the longer term.

I also understand that your group has been horribly off the mark with regard to short term predictions. This fact tells me that your powers of prediction are no better than the guy off the street, and perhaps even worse if this year is any indication.

If Global Warming supporters were a little less arrogant in their rhetoric, we could have a honest debate about what is happening, both over the short term, and the long term. The problem is that you believe you know the absolute truth, which like any good religion, means that debate is over. Any more discussion on the issue is a waste of time.

One thing I do know, is that does not make for good science.
