Say the climate change models aren't perfect, no they aren't, they are completely wrong.
Saying they are not perfect implies they are generally correct, which is a flat out lie.
Belief = / = facts

And nope, not anywhere near completely wrong.

This is why it is called climate, and not same old same old.
The temperature in my living room is constantly changing.

Thus the fact that I have set the sofa on fire should be no cause for concern.

I am pretty sure the concrete walls and ceiling will survive the fire.

I sure hope I do!

Also, a reminder on how dramatic the speed of current global temperature change is:

Actually, scientists DO talk about how the Antarctic ice sheet is growing.

Or rather, they're talking about how that growth has slowed down dramatically in the last few years.

Whoops.
