Complex dynamics of Earth's climate not fully understood
Complex dynamics of Earth's climate not fully understood☜The Earths climate is a dynamic system in constant flux and dependent upon many variables. Its always changing in ways we barely understand and which are difficult to predict. In this context, the narrative of dangerous anthropogenic disruption remains a hypothesis open to challenge.☜98CE71

We know enough to take rational action to avoid catastrophic AGW.
We know enough to take rational action to avoid catastrophic AGW.☜Even if AGW theory were to be proved wrong, we still need to decarbonise the global economy in order to improve energy security and in order to mitigate the severity of Peak Oil. Decarbonisation also provides a realistic economic stimulus to remedy recession.☜EF597B
