And yet the climate models being used to predict things like the "hockey stick" and huge global warming changes are not doing a very good job of predicting what will happen.

You can't take the data from twenty years ago and plug it into the models and show that what is happening today is expected, why should anyone take as gospel what these models say will happen 20 years from now?

"To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it." --Thomas Jefferson
