The report quotes physicist Freeman J. Dyson about relying on computer

They do a very poor job of describing the clouds, the dust, the
chemistry and the biology of fields and farms and forests. They do not
begin to describe the real world that we live in ... It is much easier
for a scientist to sit in an air-conditioned building and run computer
models, than to put on winter clothes and measure what is really
happening outside in the swamps and the clouds.'

just as it is easy to run some esoteric formulae

it is the empirical results that must rule.....
not some theoretical formulae

no serious worker doesn't realise the 'greenhouse effect' is
only an analogy....

meanwhile venus is still as hot as mercury.....

Hotter actually (surface temperature), but atmospheric pressure is
greater on Venus (equivalent to 1km deep on the ocean on earth), and
the clouds are dense and full of sulphuric acid.

perhaps we should send some of the denialists there...

i think it was rab butler's father who is reported as getting incensed
by a barometer that kept reading fine when it was raining
buckets...
eventually getting sufficient pissed off.....he ripped the barometer
from the wall...and chucked it through the (closed) window....
shouting 'go out and look for yourself you bloody fool'
