My "pseudo scientists " are those , who are trying to establish co2 emissions as sole cause of so called global warming without taking into account sun spot activity.
And who precisely would that be? Actual accredited scientists, not door-to-door college kids canvassing for Greenpeace.
Actually, climate scientists have looked closely at a host of other factors that could contribute to the observed climate change to date. Sunspots alone aren't enough to do it, no where close. There's no workable model that can reproduce patterns to date that doesn't account for a significant effect of anthropogenic carbon emissions. (At least, not one I've ever seen. If anyone can point me to a legitimate peer reviewed scientific paper that includes data through the 1990s or later, please let me know. I'd love to read it. Blogs and youtube videos need not apply.) But the worrying thing is, said emissions are just going to keep increasing. We don't need to worry about 2011 being inhospitably warm, but all the workable models agree we are in for some serious changes decades down the line. I have very deliberately avoided saying anything about appropriate policy responses (if any), not just because of the politics rule but because I don't claim to know. Doesn't change the facts, and those who would deny the facts because of the political implications are doing everyone a dis-service, including themselves.
And the basic facts are indisputable. CO2 levels are rising, fact. Fossil fuels are a major source of CO2 (dwarfing volcanoes), fact. The changing isotope ratios of carbon in the atmosphere show the "extra" CO2 is largely from fossil fuels and not other natural sources, fact. (This fact is acknowledged by anthropologists and archeologists dong carbon dating - are they in on the scam? ) Atmospheric CO2 traps long wave radiation, fact. Thus there is more energy in the atmosphere, fact. Overall, temperatures have been increasing, fact. There are little blips, like 1998 was anomalously warm in North America (thanks to El Nino) so it looks like there's a mini-cooling trend, but that's just noise on a long-term pattern. There will be "noise" and not everywhere will be equally affected, or equally fast.
If you read carefully, I have said "AMERICAS"meaning North, Central and South Americas.
No, in the quote you claim predicted Chile (not the earlier four year framing), you said:

Dear friends,
Once again , the planets in the present position indicate that Mother earth is going to pass thro a very sensetive transit from 23rd Feb till March 2nd.
I do not want to repeat about the Natural calamities . I wanted to add that North America on west coast has got something far sinister going on in her under belly.
Japan and Himalayan ranges fall under my scanner.
Hope earth quakes and other events pass off without much destruction.

UNQOTE
CHILE HAPPENED ON 26TH FEBRUARY IE, WITHIN A WEEK AS PER THE DATES GIVEN.
Now do we call this as postdiction ?
My predictions are far better than seismologists who clealy say that they cannot predict a major tembler even with latest gadgets.
NJA"
North America west coast, Japan, and Himalayas. Chile is none of those.
But I'm done with that. When and where will the next major quake be? And will you factor in freight trains?
