the Sun's is always the main input in the climate energy balance by many magnitude.
Yes, but there are also some misconceptions about the sun's role (it's number two on this list of top climate change myths, for example). I've spent many hours on that site and suggest anyone else who wants to be taken seriously in the climate change debate do the same. It's well researched information.
And yes, I completely agree these things should be discussed honestly and openly. The assumption that people are too stupid to understand so we have to grow them like mushrooms (keep them in the dark and feed them shit) is really frustrating.
Climate science is so complex.
Very well said.
Indeed it is. So is computer science, ecommerce, and cyber security. Funny enough, very few people offer up their opinions to me on what I know about my field of expertise for the last two decades.
And yet... when it comes to climate science, so many people have a strong opinion. Isn't that odd? Shouldn't the experts be given some benefit of the doubt, especially with light of what Exxon Mobile has been exposed with communicating internally verses what they communicated publicly regarding the climate science they funded?
Any way, not to derail the discussion too much... more accurate information is the key. Shine the light on reality and avoid false narratives. So important.
Thanks for being part of the solution instead of the problem. :)
