Been saying this for 35 years. While water vapor can be considered a greenhouse gas, cloud cover acts as a negative feedback. The hotter it gets, the more water vapor. The more water vapor, the more cloud cover. The more cloud cover, the more cooling. Water is what keeps the earth in the habitable range. (This is a gross simplification, but you get the idea)
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now...
Greta is throwing herself into a fjord somewhere.
But but but
It has been proven over and over again that the average temperature of the earth can be calculated as
Te = 58 + log(CO2)/log(280) * 1.7
Anyone with a higher-level engineering background, who has done lots of partial differential equations of the sort needed to model the atmosphere, knows this whole thing is begin done for grants. The mathematics are impossibly complex, the idea of being able to with full assurance predict things 5 - 10 decades out is pure absurdity.
Conclusions any real scientist would make? The models don't work. CO2 is not the driving force behind the warming trend Earth has been experiencing since the end of the last Ice Age.
Double down on stupid, DUH!
Burn more wood and try to make their models correct?
As a retired Electrical Engineer it is clear to me that it will not take a supercomputer 1,000 times more powerful than current available technology for 1) these “climate Experts” to pull a new number out of their ‘arse’ and 2) it will be wrong!
GIGO is still true, even for a super-duper computer.
Clouds affect the weather? Who could have guessed.
Next someone will say that the sun affects the weather.
FTA: “A climate model able to capture the subtle effects of individual cloud systems, storms, regional wildfires and ocean currents at a more detailed scale would require a thousand times more computer power, they said.”
Q. How do you power all of those supercomputers?
A. With electricity.
Q. Where do you get the electricity?
A. Rainbows and unicorn farts.
Its not the supercomputer thats the problem
Its their fatally flawed, incorrect, inaccurate computer models.
Theyve known for years their models are not right
They will run data from the 70s and 80s and they cant forecast and match the acrual known data from the 90s and 2000s, for example.
“We’re, like, the world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change.”
Amazing how AOC can be so wise, prescient, and scientific at such a young age. /s

So all those eco nazi regs get wiped out and we can get our money back right?
Would you take a medication that had only been tested in a computer model of human drug effects and had never been given to actual humans in a clinical trial?
