Monk doesn't understand about
closed loop control systems.He's completely ignorant of the latest climate research.
Why don't you tell us about them?
Here is some real science - the type that Monk doesn't understand -

http://curry.eas.gatech.edu/climate/pdf/Ch13_GalleyC.pdfThe concepts behind feedbacks
as applied to climate change are derived from concepts in control theory
that were first developed for electronics. By examining separate
feedback loops, one can gain a sense of the direction of the influence of
the feedback on a change in the state of the system, whether it is
reinforcing or damping, and the relative importance of a given feedback
when compared with other feedbacks. Climate change can therefore be
viewed as the result of adjustment among compensating feedback
processes, each of which behaves in a characteristically nonlinear
fashion. The fact that the climate of the Earth has varied in the past
between rather narrow limits despite large variations in external forcing
is evidence for the efficiency and robustness of these feedbacks.
A variety of climate feedback mechanisms have been identified,
including radiation feedbacks that involve water vapor and clouds, ocean
feedbacks that involve the hydrological cycle, and biospheric feedbacks
that involve the carbon cycle. In our consideration of thermodynamic
feedbacks in the climate system, we will concentrate on the radiative and
ocean thermohaline feedbacks. The radiat
ion feedback processes that are
of interest in the context of the climate system include the snow/ice-
albedo feedback, water vapor feedback, and cloud-radiation feedbacks.
