CMIP5 climate models have never been able to accurately predict rain fall or lack of rain fall over most of Africa.

Now someone on here said we know the models work because we can run them back in time and get a reasonably accurate account of what we know has happened and that's the reason why we know they're going to be an accurate model of reality for the future. So just ignore what's inconvenient?

IF the speed of light as measured is independent on the speed of the observer (the know) THEN the special relativity theory describes the relationship of time and space, and Newtonian physics do not (the insight).

Same with evolution. What Darwin explained is what people who breed animals already put in practice. Of course selection also happens in nature. If only the Bible agreed...
