A brief summary on background knowledge needed to understand global warming:
Climatologists do not have the full knowledge to understand the inter-relations.
Neither do people with training in physics, and chemistry.
They each have a piece of the puzzle. The global warming issue requires true interdisciplinary knowledge.
Of all these groups, politicians, musicians etc probably have the least background knowledge. They also tend to be the most vocal (with the except of a few scientists).
NOTE: this is a continuation of the previous post..
Most of the simulations on C02 induced global warming involved models of the class “single column”, meaning it treats the section on earth as a single column of gas and does not differentiate between temperatures at altitudes very well, and therefore can not model thermal transport very well either. There is ongoing work (now) to improve the model with segmenting the gas column.. http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/cms/sccm/sccm.html http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/cms/ccm3/source.shtml
