Not sure of the point of this post.
I am not capable of deciding if the whole thing is baloney. I doubt anyone here has the expertise to.
"Common sense" is often quoted, but that is seldom accurate when it comes to science.
Personally I will accept the word of hundreds of scientists working in the field for their entire lives, while remembers that it is a THEORY. That means it agrees with models and predictions. IT DOES NOT MEAN it is 100% true or accurate. As we learn more the theory will be modified and improved.
No climatologist I know will say that climate change CAUSED Katrina. None. My understanding it that it is both wrong and foolish to point to any single event and try to prove a correlation or worse a causation. The model predicates increase variability in the climate.
And a little bit of "common sense" - who has the most money at stake in the debate? Climatologists working 2 or 3 jobs to pay the bills while they do their research or a Trillion Dollar Oil Industry.
