Re: [asa] 2 American Scientists Win Prize

Interesting articles, although the somewhat unfortunate highlighting
may send the layman the wrong impressions.
Yes, scientists all know the level of complexity of the climate
system. The interactions between the air and oceans, the transport by
oceans of heat, the impact of sea ice and ice cover, the impact of
cloud formation, and much more. Not to mention the chaotic nature...
Oceanographers have discovered the importance of the conveyor belt
which extends from the pacific, via the Indian ocean, southern
atlantic all the way up north to the Greenland basin, transporting
heat.

Of course, despite all this, science has been able to provide
(reasonably) reliable estimates of weather and climate.
Despite all this, scientists seem to have reached the obvious
conclusion that global warming is real and that the anthropogenic
component is significant. As Janice shows a very small minority
remains.

Just imagine that one may take the articles Janice provided to us so
kindly and cherry pick some of the quotes to give the false impression
that scientists somehow doubt global warming and its human component.
That would be a disservice to science and religion alike (assuming
that this group understands the impact of Augustine's observations and
warnings on issues of faith).
