I am aware that climate models run on very powerful computers, using extremely sophisticated mathematical models that are being continually improved.
Glittering Generalities much lately?
I am open to the possibility that there may one day be an apparent problem, qualitatively. But science doesn't know, quantitatively, what the size of the problem is.
So calculation of CO2 discharges based on fuel consumption statistics, which correlate with contemporary and historical atmospheric CO2 measurements, which correlate with historical and contemporary measurements of ocean surface pH, which correlate with measurements of atmospheric and oceanic temperatures, etc. are not quantitative? One might try to dispute the causal links between some of these observed phenomena, but that would be an uphill battle against a /massive/ consensus of professionals in the relevant fields. So far, those with the most to gain or lose financially - our petrochemicails industries - have had to resort to classic propaganda techniques to dispute the current consensus model in geophysics.
This solution will, however, piss off the AGW (anthropogenic Global Warming) fanatics, if for no other reason that it will seem to them to be too easy.
