Quote:The global climate model is off because it does not account for agriculture, which is a "mitigating effect" to greenhouse gas emissions. I guess you're free to believe that regional climate is somehow isolated from the global system. Magical thinking, but you're prerogative.

The global model didn't match the regional climate of agricultural areas. That doesn't mean it's off. Global warming is a fact of science supported by tons of evidence. Evidently agricultural cooling isn't enough to counteract it.

"But he warns that such benefits may not last if greenhouse gas emissions eventually overpower the mitigating effect of agriculture."

So climate scientists are using a global model regionally. That tells you that they don't think regional climate is isolated from global climate.

Or are they just being silly buggers?

No they're using a global model globally. Global temps are taken globally not just in one region. That's why it's called global climate change and not regional climate change.

Again, so they're just being silly buggers trying to input regional numbers into their global models?

You're not making sense anymore. Get lost..

Oops. Did we trigger your cognitive dissonance? Climate scientists using global models to model regional climate.

Why wouldn't they do that? Wouldn't global warming be expected to be occurring in specific regions as well?

Yes, because regions are not isolated from the global climate.
