The climate system is vast with the interaction of forces we do not fully understand. Climate change cannot be assumed to be geocentric without influence from cosmic and solar weather. Historical data exposes serious flaws in many climate reports with respect to, for example: the behavior of shorelines as sea level rises; the prediction of future sea level rise; the relationship between carbon dioxide levels and global warming; the frequency and severity of storms; the regional temperature data used to assess global warming trends.

Since computer-based climate models have over-projected temperature rise for the last 40 years, climate scientists need to change direction and seriously consider using short-term climate cycles (whether atmospheric, oceanic, cosmic or solar) as forecasting tools. Even if not understood, such cycles have been fashioned by natural forces over vast periods of times. Their forward projections should be given priority over the forward projections of computer models that are programmed using the present limited knowledge of the climate system.
