Computer models are not reliable. The atmosphere is not behaving as models would predict. Climate is mainly influenced by the s ...

Abstracts of Global Warming and Climate Change
... The world’s climate scients have reported that the earth’s climate system is increasingly heating up and it likely has not been this warm for at least 13000 years. Heating effects are strong in melting of snow and ice, rising global mean sea level, widespread changes in precipitation amounts, ocean ...
