I rephrase my affirmation as a question, so that even a kid can understand it:
The models of the earth nucleus predict an inversion of polatity every 14000 years, just what happens in the real Eart nucleus. What fact of the earth climate the climate models are capable to predict? 2013/11/15 meekerdb <meeke...@verizon.net> > On 11/15/2013 2:11 AM, Alberto G.
