Isn’t that the million dollar question? I have no idea how to decisively prove to any global warming critic, that green house gases build-up in the atmosphere is bad. Both sides have compelling data disputing claims of each other. Science has not been able to ascertain positively the effects of the gases on world climate. To assert this dichotomy, here is an op-ed by Dr. Lindzen (prof, MIT Atmospheric Science) disputing global warming, and a summary by Dr. Hansen (NASA) claiming that the case on global warming has been closed, and green house gases are the culprits.
Here is my question: Has anyone ever run climate prediction simulations with elevated and normal green house gas levels in the atmosphere?
The reason for this inquiry is that climate modeling has become very sophisticated, and I know for a fact that several projects are running on super computing grids all over the world. The most famous of the climate predication projects is happening in Japan, with NEC’s Earth Simulator. So far, I am yet to find an answer to my query..
