I listened to an interview with a climate modeller yesterday. In the very first climate models, the first inputs were solar irradiance, volcanic emissions, and sunspots. As we know, these natural contributions could not account for the acceleration in global warming since 1960.

Once they input other contributions, they found that their models fit the global temperature measurements surprisingly accurately, with greenhouse gas emissions accouting for 70-95% of the warming over the past few decades.

Considering how complex the global climate and models are and how many degrees of freedom the models contained, it's very impressive how accurate they turned out. It's possible that they're wrong, but it would be highly unlikely for the models to fit the measurements better if the inputs changed.

So why do GW deniers claim that these climate models are unreliable?

Hello, I have Hemorroids at the age of Nineteen......and it is along way to my Twentieth Birthday. I am buying pharmacy medicine to combat the potentially embarassing and painful condition. Yet surely this is a real warning sign? To have having just turned Nineteen?

With endless suffering throughout history it would seem that G/god really doesn't intervene in the affairs of man. He seems so impartial that his own begotten Son would feel suffering without any intervention. Does this mean that a million human lives could be wiped out and they would be no more important than the life of an ant? If so, then maybe an ant's life is just as important as a human life, or that an ant's life is just as unimportant as a human life. Whatya think?

I bought an SD card a couple years ago and it always worked great. I bought an apply laptop and I had to buy an SD drive to plug into my USB port. Once I got the pictures imported and then deleted them from my card, I slipped it into my Nikon Coolpix S9 camera and it said "Memory card contains no memory". Is my SD card toast or is there something else I need to do? The SD drive is still reading it when I plug it in, but my camera isn't. Can I get any help?
Thanks!
