# 29 — the phenomenon of greenhouse gases retaining heat at the surface of the earth operates on decadal scales, and the orbital variations (Milankovitch cycles) which cause the waxing and waning of the ice ages operate on millennial scales, and both are fundamental physical processes, and are not elucidated by computer models.

The lines of evidence and analysis supporting the mainstream position on climate change are diverse and robust — embracing a huge body of direct measurements by a variety of methods in a wealth of locations on the Earth's surface and from space, solid understanding of the basic physics governing how energy flow in the atmosphere interacts with greenhouse gases, insights derived from the reconstruction of causes and consequences of millions of years of natural climatic variations, and the results of computer models that are increasingly capable of reproducing the main features of Earth's climate with and without human influences.

Some of the very wet years are caused by El Nino, a reversal of winds over the Pacific Ocean that has been going on every few years ever since there was a Pacific Ocean... People... will cite computer models predicting that El Ninos should become stronger or more frequent with global warming, but there are an awful lot of other models showing that they won't change or that they might even lessen in frequency.

And by that, I don't mean computer models — I use computer models, and they are totally invalid at prediction — and I don't mean reports of «warming effects» unless you can show the mechanism that definitively links the cause to the effect, and shows that CO2 can be the only cause.

Fourth, the null hypothesis (that observed modern climate variation is due to natural causes) is NOT tested by those computer models.

The plan they came up with was to announce that (computer model - generated) predictions of sea ice decline due to (computer model - generated) predictions of human - caused global warming are so catastrophic that polar bears should be returned to their previous «vulnerable» classification, despite the fact that by all other criteria they are flourishing.

(Note: The computer model used considers climate variations caused by cosmic ray flux, and other possibly major parameters, as negligible, completely ignoring many recent scientific findings.).

They limited and distorted what was examined by Working Group 1, The Physical Science Basis to human causes of climate change, but that meant their Report identified all the limitations of data, method, computer models, and analysis.

Even though all of the computer models predicted warming, warming, and more warming, they now claim the silliest things like, «The cooling is caused by warming!»

The Hubble telescope was put in orbit with a very precise error in it's main mirror, and to a certain extent the image aberrations caused by this error could be corrected with a computer model of the mirror's anomaly.

But one thing climate scientists agree on — if global warming is caused by CO-2 emissions then the CO-2 will leave a distinct signature their computer models predict a big red hotspot above the equator.

The SCC is a loosey - goosey computer model result that attempts to determine the present value of future damages that result from climate change caused by pernicious economic activity.

It is now known that the observed pattern of tropospheric warming and stratospheric cooling over the past 30 to 40 years is broadly consistent with computer model simulations that include increases in CO2 and decreases in stratospheric ozone, each caused by human activities.
