Reading some of the comments here...makes me think that there are a substantial number of Villagers who are members of the Flat Earth Society. Climate change is real. Deniers probably don't get a COVID vaccine either!

Of course it's real ... both the Climate Change and the Flat Earth Society.

There is no question that the climate is warming, the question is whether humans have any significant contribution to that. There seems to be data and models that support both sides. There seems to be data massaging on both sides. There seems to be monetary rewards on one side. It's tough to figure out which side is more correct.

The "monetary" issue is a key factor, especially since the creator of the worst climate model (Dr. Manabe) got the Nobel Prize in Physics. There were 102 climate models used in the last IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report. The Russian model was the most accurate, and the Japanese model was the next best -- but all models consistently run too hot. Too bad the Nobel Prize "committee" doesn't reveal their reasoning logic.

You are correct -- he laid the foundation for the worst climate modeling techniques -- and got a prize for it. The Russians have a best climate modeling technique -- and they are ignored. So sad.
