CERN: 'Climate models will need to be substantially revised'

jimspice

It's so odd...

It's so odd that all the conservative blogs are using that same abridged quote. Are you all citing the same Koch daily talking points or something?

What you miss is the sentence that IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWS the one you quote: "It is now urgent to identify the additional nucleating vapours, and whether their sources are mainly natural or from human activities."

So if anything, the paper asks more questions than it answers, and opens up the possibility of GREATER human influence on climate.

By the way, The Way Things Break has a very readable breakdown of the Nature article, with links to the harder science for those that want a deeper look: http://thingsbreak.wordpress.com/2011/08/25/concern-trolling-on-clouds-and-climate-change/
