I decided to take some time and read the sections on the climate being a chaotic system and, frankly, I'm still thoroughly unconvinced that it isn't one.
The main argument against it being a chaotic system is that the climate is a boundary condition system, determined by it's input and output energy. This does not satisfy me as an explanation because the sun, being the main input, is chaotic in it's energy output, as demonstrated by the unpredictability of the current lull. So if we can't predict the main input, why do we think that we can predict the behavior of something that has a chaotic input? It does not compute.
All of these discussion really miss the point though, which is that pollution of our environment is generally a bad idea. In other words, I agree with the sentiment but not the rationale.
