  Thanks David for the heads up on this article . . . I've put up the following on our blog:

  "The ever helpful David Roberts of Grist Magazine points out that an op-ed in the Washington Times yesterday makes the same logical error that I point out in this post below made by Patrick Michaels -- namely that short-term predictive failures obviate the need for action. The op-ed quotes me and says that I am "not previously a global warming skeptic," which is correct, but implies that somehow I am now . . . sorry, wrong. It also quotes my conclusion that climate models are "useless" without the important qualifiers *for decision making in the short term when specific decisions must be made*. Such models are great exploratory scientific tools, and were helpful in bringing the issue of greenhouse gases to the attention of decision makers. I've emailed the author making these points, asking him to correct his piece."

  Also, why do you assert that I never contacted Zarembo or Rahn?  In fact I contacted both right after I learned of their articles.  Of course, you could have emailed me to ask -- please do so in the future before you post incorrect information.
