Summed up, Dr. P. believes that it is a reasonable hypothesis that increased levels of CO2 have the result of an increase in world temperature. He remains skeptical, however, of current attempts to quantify the extent of that increase, due to a tendency of those attempting to make the measure to make unavailable the details of the models used, and to adjust the data to obtain the desired results. I would also agree with him that we need to look at all of the factors of the system studied (e.g., the extent to which the energy of the Sun varies over time; the extent to which other aerosols (such as clouds) influence any greenhouse effect, etc.Bernard Brandthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159541603126407072noreply@blogger.com
