Quick enviro-question

[andygates]

Are there any climate models that show no climate chance with increased CO2?  Only I'm tired of playing whac-a-mole with deniers, and before I say "there are no models that show it because it is in defiance of bloody physics!" I need to be sure of it.

For sure. I'm just trying to figure out where this particular ability - to maintain a dogmatic belief when there's no supporting evidence or even contrary evidence - comes from.

It's not the same as native intelligence, which is (to a large degree) a variable based around the energy budget we can afford to give to the brain. This is something else.

We're a pattern-matching species, and there's a pleasant little epiphany feeling that comes with finding patterns. I wonder if folks who persist in silly beliefs just have the slider for "ooh, nice pattern" pushed up higher than most?

Or whether they're just dicks. :)
