>And that is largely not the case: The predictions of the future are build out of assumptions on top of other assumptions. Satellite data suggests there is no global warming for about 18 years now (since 1997). How does that marry up with increased CO2 levels since that time? And why do ground observations suggest there is global warming while NASA satellite data suggest stable temperatures? The -so called- facts of global temperatures do no suggest fact here as the two methods do not yield the same results.

What could be a bigger threat to the industry than the outcome that it is build on false assumptions?

Now I'm really scared. Because I agree with everything you've said, 100%. :)
