Tom Glass and Kevin Duffy discuss climate change computer models

Glass: As one trained in the sciences and one who worked in IT as a career, I know the difference between science and a computer model.

Before a computer model can be relied upon to take drastic action, denying people liberty and destroying their prosperity, good sense would demand that we check the model to see if it predicts reality well. (That is called science. You know, checking your hypothesis embodied in the computer model against reality to see if it matches observed results.)

To date, I am unaware of any climate computer model that has accurately predicted climate. Until we get one that does, I will oppose the destruction of our liberty and prosperity that ALWAYS seems to be the proposed "solution" to the hypothetical problem.

Duffy: Well said, Tom, but I'll go even further. Let's imagine some day the computer models prove accurate and that there's a serious problem. Are you ready to destroy liberty and prosperity to solve it? Or might that complex adaptive system called the free market have a better chance?

Glass: I agree!
