From Warren Meyer, who was discussing the recent announcement from the White House Interagency Climate Change Adaptation Task Force.
If one wonders why the climate alarmist movement is suffering from a credibility problem, one only needs to read some of the claims:
Climate change is already having “pervasive, wide-ranging” effects on “nearly every aspect of our society,” a task force representing more than 20 federal agencies reported Tuesday.
Here are some of the devastating non-trends in US Climate:
Sou, you say:
“CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology use scientific modelling…”
IPCC 2001;
“In climate research and modeling, we should recognize that we are dealing with a coupled non-linear chaotic system. and therefore that the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible”.

By chance, Anthony has just posted a great example of just how poor the stations used to create the Australian “official record” of temperatures really are.
Please note that the station in the photo is not just any old station. It is part of the CRN, the Australian “Climate Reference Network”, which is the supposedly pristine stations that they use to adjust the rest of the stations.
Caveat emptor …
sou,
it’s not a simplistic situation concerning co2 – at least outside of oversimplified and incomplete general circulation models. Off hand, I doubt you have the understanding to deal with the level that some of the discussions here entail, including the nature of co2 and other so-called ghgs in the atmosphere.
Guys:
You may have noted the increase in trolls here after Climategate, or the petitions, or statements or editorials… “sou” is not a truth-seeker. Trying to educate him/them is a waste of time. North and Booker have revealed the stakes in and the extent of AGW. “sou” is just a willing, but mindless, tool.

I disagree. sou lives in Australia, and obviously believes what he is saying. Writing him off as a troll gets us nowhere.
Remember, there’s lots of lurkers here. Perhaps sou will get the message, perhaps not … but others will. And maybe he will too, we don’t know. I won’t put him in a box and constrain him with my assumptions. To use a Christian example (I’m not a Christian, but the stories are valuable), even Saul had the scales fall from his eyes …
