Global warming: Our best guess is likely wrong - 0 views

  • theoretical models cannot explain what we observe in the geological record
  • There appears to be something fundamentally wrong
  • something other than carbon dioxide caused much of the heating during the PETM
  •  
    I find the title of the article misleading at best, but probably plainly wrong since they seem to talk about conditions way back and I am not sure how well our current models have been designed to work in these very different conditions? - but should probably be rather another good reason to put more effort into improving the models!

    Mr. Musk declined to comment :P
  •  
    given that they apparently can't decide between two moral options (probably such as humans), should we be more concerned about their stupidity or their intelligence http://arxiv.org/abs/1411.2842
  •  
    I personally don't even trust people to make "moral" choices in conditions of warfare. History is way too full of examples.

    the "even" in your comment is the key word
