Here's my uneducated question — while I respect Gavin's
comments about not abusing the

about atmospheric CO2 levels, arctic ice melting, glacial retreat, etc..

After having read the many
comments here, I see that the discussion is «getting wrapped around the axle» on the definition of a «black swan», rather than staying on the main topic of how uncertainties and potential major outliers in our knowledge of
climate science should affect our conclusions of what is likely to be the human impact on
climate and what should be done
about it.

climate «
science» has no authority at all, but no alternative take on the
science, with real evidence and real calculations, is presented at all).
