Again, I'll suggest reading the Santer paper, and citations therein, or the post on Realclimate.Simon Donnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844831377442275615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25163458.post-1158368994108034912006-09-15T21:09:00.000-04:002006-09-15T21:09:00.000-04:00"The forcings that drive long-term climate change ..."The forcings that drive long-term climate change are not known with an accuracy sufficient to define future climate change." -- James Hansen, "Climate forcings in the Industrial era", PNAS, Vol. 95, Issue 22, 12753-12758, October 27, 1998. <BR/><BR/>Yeah that is the guy who is a father of modern GCC movementAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
