It seems to me that computer modelling is being used to generate theories that modern peers can accept while the peer review system was established to only accept theories that the present level of science could not deny.
I always default to 101 principals when looking to solve a problem. This is why I am an acolyte of Clauser who teaches in an elegant and simple way.
*It doesn't take a genius or a higher degree to know that clouds cast dark shadows and being under a cloud things are cooler. Right?
The ocean covers 70 % of the earth and is impinged upon by the sun. The ocean absorbs the sun's energy and generates clouds by water evaporation. Clouds reflect sunlight. Then they shade and cool the ocean and earth. Clouds cover the earth typically by about 65 % per decades of sat data.
Albedo provides the feedback loop and is the earth's thermostat.
*Then there is Henry's Law from 101 Chemistry that describes how atmospheric CO2 exchanges with the ocean.
*Another 101: we also know that gas solubility in a medium is inversely proportional to temperature. When the ocean heats up more CO2 comes out, and when water is cooler more CO2 is retained. This is notwithstanding the chemistry of CO2 in water.
I would conclude that the most basic 101 principles will tell you that global warming and cooling is a result of the sun and cloud temperature regulation.
CO2 just follows the 101 Gas Law's you learned in the first semester.
Conclusion: first semester chemistry and physics and the Law's of Thermodynamics explain climate change and CO2 behavior.

It seems to me that computer modelling is being used to generate theories that modern peers can accept while the peer review system was established to only accept theories that the present level of science could not deny.
What seems to be implied is not leaving one fully operational modeling infrastructure in place, which to me is sensible vs shutting all down.
Climate models have been the basis for concern about the sanity and integrity of the modelers for most of those 35 years as well!
Great article
