Comments by "DK1" (@Progamble) on "State of Denial | Fault Lines" video.
Why is Global Temperature science a controversial topic???????? Because the average person with no scientific training instinctively knows that climate is very volatile. Yes there are regular patterns, but most people intuitively know that there is a certain degree of unpredictability when it comes to weather. For example, how much confidence do we place in our 14 day weather forecasts? How about a 28 day forecast? Now lets project that even further to say 30-50 years. Get my point? No one, including scientists and even meteorologist have a high degree of confidence in there 28 day weather forecasts. Don't forget these forecasts are based on satellite imagery and sophisticated weather models. Yet the accuracy of these forecast models drops dramatically after 7 days. Yet we are to believe that the climate models used to predict global warming are able to predict with accuracy climate 30-50 years from now! This is why I think the topic of climate change is controversial.
