Settled science?: Triceratops 'Never Existed,' Scientists Say

Scientists compared triceratops skulls to those of a lesser-known species, the torosaurus, and concluded that the triceratops were actually young torosauruses, New Scientist reports.

This means that all of those IPCC predictions, and all of those old climate models, are missing a number of climate regulating factors—factors that could be as important as all the ones they did model. Evidence of climate sciences' ignorance mounts daily. With each new revelation, the inadequacy of our scientific understanding becomes undeniable. Yet there are those who still stubbornly insist that the models are trustworthy, that the predictions of a calamitous future are accurate. No one with slightest amount of scientific understanding can honestly say that the IPCC projections are correct.
