There it is...yet another straw man!
I have not one time said that MMGW is false. I have said that I do not believe that it is possible for anyone to PREDICT the behavior of a random, non-linear, complex system, such as the climate. Chaos Theory pretty much absolutely rules out the possibility of accurately predicting the behavior of such a system.
I don't claim to know for certain if humans are causing an increase in the global temperature, but I highly doubt it. However, I am positive that NOBODY can predict the behavior of a chaotic system. Nobody.
So, to make my position clear: I cannot predict the behavior of a chaotic system to any degree of certainty and neither can you.
