Climate Skeptic: More on "the Splice"
Of course, climate scientists are not reasonable, and so they declare catastrophic anthropogenic global warming to be settled science based on an inflection in temperature data right at a data source splice (between tree rings and thermometers).
Climate Skeptic: It's CO2, Because We Can't Think of Anything Else it Could Be
In other words, any warming scientists can't explain is chalked up to, without proof mind you, CO2. Why? Well, perhaps because it is CO2 that gets the funding, so CO2 it is.
The Reference Frame: Interdisciplinary trap
I am convinced that if you look at the typical accuracy and predictability of phenomena in climatology and economics, you will see that they are fully comparable. Both of these disciplines work with a lot of chaotic functions of time, complex systems influenced by thousands of effects. And both of them end up with predictions that differ from reality by something comparable to 10-100% or more. ;-)

But let’s not forget how global warming protesters were covered in snow last January.
