So much for global warming!

[John Edward Mercier]

The predicators will be long dead and won't have to live with ridicule.

A predicator is the verb in its functional relation to the clause. (I only bring that up because John is supposed to be writing op-eds, not wasting time on forums  . We could chain him to a non-Internet-capable word processor, if it weren't for that darned 13th amendment.)

The predictors can still be subject to ridicule if we pay to have them stored at Alcor.org 

Nice catch. I was typing really fast, and not proof reading.

I'm still having a tough time in my mind whether to refer to them as predictors (ha... spelled it correctly this time) or predators (my other thought). It seems that they are much more intent on making people afraid of the future for personal gain (government/corporate grants) than adding anything of value to science.

Bingo! It's "Publish or perish!" with them, also.

Might as well toss a coin.

Exactly. I don't believe this any more than I do the global warming theories. Both theories just go to show that they don't nearly have enough data to be making accurate predictions about anything.

I think the problem is more predicting the inputs accurately.
I would hate to fathom a guess (and yes it would only be a wild guess) as to the human population on the planet or their CO2 output in 2100.
Technology and innovation are much too big a variable.
Which is where I think Malthus made his mistake.

yes as you said the globule warming was increasing very much every one is seeing that how much the world was get developing but they are not taking care about the increasing of the pollution.As the factories get increasing and temperature is also get changing if it get increasing like this only what happens after some years can you imagine.
