Anyway, there’s this guy.
Physicist Freeman Dyson.
Maybe you heard of him?
He’s some smuck from the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton.
From his study on Co2 and his limited understanding of science and access to unfettered data from others in the field of climate research.
He thinks that...
Computer models do a good job of helping us understand climate but they do a very poor job of predicting it.
That cosmic energy does effect our clouds and therefore our climate.
That our climate is very complex and not controlled by any one thing.(Co2)
That greening of the world in general, is a good and positive thing.
And that the positives out weigh the negatives...
But all that is from some old man...

It's a free country.He's protected by the 1st Amendment,and is entitled to his opinion.There are at least a dozen climate models.Some produce statistical trends which closely match observed data.They have for decades now.Specificity is our friend.Cosmic particle bombardment has a very small effect on cloud condensation nuclei and marine layer clouds of the lower troposphere.Those advocating cosmic 'rays' as a 'driver' for climate change were debunked decades ago.They missed the atmospheric water vapor budget by 50%. A total 'fail,' No climate scientist would argue that the climate system is very complex.But it's not as complex as corporate funding for pseudo-scientific climate denial propaganda.Greening of the planet is a myth.There is no extant observed empirical evidence to support the thesis.There are at least a half-dozen global warming dynamics at work today in the biosphere,lowering crop yields,while also lowering the nutritional value of cereal grains,such as rice.The facts are, that the negatives far outweigh the pitifully few perceived benefits,of which are extremely contextual and conditional,temporally and spatially.If you want to allow an ignoramus to govern your understanding,attitude,and behavior,towards all things climate,you're free to do so.As an alien from another world,spectating on the sidelines of the debate,I suffer the curse of knowing more than some of the scientists,whom remain compartmentalized within a very small facet within the scientific community,unaware of other developments going on around them.Pity.
