This (below) is a nice explanation of how climate models work, particularly about how the point of the models is to show the trends and not make a prediction of a date/time/magnitude. But you know all this, we have been around and around on this before. The whole political forum is a circle jerk of the two sides just aiming at each other same #^&#^&#^&#^&. Boring.....

I need to remind you, they can’t hear you with their heads in the sand. Even that excellent and clear video explanation won’t be believed, but when that point of no return hits their children or their children’s kids smack dab in the face, they won’t hear the crying from six feet under.
