I would love to hear or read a cogent and exhaustive explanation as to why Chaos Theory no longer applies to climate even though it remains a non-linear, complex, dynamical system. Why is climate suddenly exempt from Chaos Theory?
I think you're trying to escape into philosophy Greg. That's a sophist diversion you're doing there. The Chaos theory is outside and secondary to the direct points I made about Global Warming above. Greg, you called my stuff "trying to sound knowledgeable" "unfounded" "gibberish". You're perfectly welcome to back that up with a reply. Is there a reason why you were unable to? It seems somewhat arrogant to challenge somebody and then think you're above having to answer.
What Greg is doing is trying to hide the sun with his hand. Meanwhile if you analyze his argument the fact Global Warming advocates may have missed that CO2 follows temperature in the natural warming cycles does not cancel all the other science involved. It doesn't exempt deniers from answering the main points as Greg does. If Greg wants to practice philosophy he should practice the philosophy of objective discussion. I suggest it might be a better route to understanding Global Warming.
