Huge data gaps, crude models, system complexity and endless unknowns frustrate climate scientists<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The science of climate change is very complex and there are many different points of view. This post summarizes some of the strongest arguments of climate skeptics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The earth\u2019s system is chaotic and unpredictable. Today\u2019s climate models are still crude given the earth\u2019s huge complexity. (Symbol image: NASA)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Natural climate variability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Earth\u2019s climate has always changed in the past, often dramatically, even without human influence. The current warming is therefore likely just part of a natural cycle, and one that is totally capable of reversing on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Climate models are still in their infancy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate models are complex computer programs that attempt to simulate the climate system. These models provide different results and are not able to accurately reproduce past climate changes. All are filled with assumptions and guesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The climate is a highly complex, chaotic system and so much of it is still poorly understood. Much remains a complete mystery, which means it is impossible to accurately model. Model outputs are thus unreliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember that with chaotic systems like weather and climate, even very small changes in the initial inputs, which are many, can be amplified over time, thus making long-term predictions impossible. That\u2019s a hard fact of life that climate scientists have to accept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The influence of the sun<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sun is the earth\u2019s main energy supplier and its activity certainly greatly influences the climate. There are hundreds of publications that show this. Many of these impacts are poorly understood, and so climate scientists like to pretend they don\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Limited effects of trace gas CO2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a trace, \u201cgreenhouse\u201d gas that human activities release into the atmosphere. Many scientific publications show CO2\u2019s impact on global warming is overestimated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Oceanic cycles hugely impact climate change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ocean acts like the earth\u2019s giant heat re-distributor. There are many cycles that impact climate. Ocean currents move warm water from the equator towards the poles, and from higher depths to lower depths, thus redistributing energy. Ocean cycles play a crucial role in regulating Earth\u2019s temperature and weather patterns. Changes to these cycles can have significant consequences for global climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heat content of the oceans is about 100 times that of the atmosphere, so even small heat redistribution changes can significantly impact the atmosphere above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictions are difficult because there is little historical data available from the ocean depths and scientists can only speculate what the oceans will do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Economic consequences of climate change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measures to combat climate change entail extremely high costs and are especially socially unbearable for the poor. Study after study suggest these costs far outweigh the negative consequences of climate change, which we are unable to steer in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
