Global-warming 'proof' is evaporating

#14  Bobby, I'll get worried when Denver and Albuquerque set up a program to deal with rising sea levels.

As Glenn Reynolds says, I'll start believing it's a crisis when the people who tell me it's a crisis start acting like it's a crisis.

#13  Oh, some understand, Rambler. My civil engineering newsletters are full of cities, towns, and states setting up (costly) programs to help deal with 'climate change'-'especially after "Superstorm Sandy. I'm sure they are all funded by the Feds.

#12  You guys just don't understand: extra snow is just weather. Summer heat, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes - those are climate.

#11  Imamean "ACt" but yawls knew that (I hope).

#10  That's true, but we must always error on the side of stone-cold-crazy. It's some sort of damn rule.

#9  GIGO is a best case.

Future prediction relies on Data.

Future-Future prediction relies on Predicted Data (with increased errors over just those in the data).

So say the model and data are a laughably high 95% right.

After 14 "loops" the data content is 48% and error has grown 47%!

Basically because of this unavoidable "complex climate modelling" on a computer is basically an expensive form of dice.

#8  Don't forget the highly shonky data correction and tweaking, so that things come out the way you expect them to.

#7  GIGO, man, all GIGO.

#6  BP, don't forget the highly shonky computer models, highly shonky data collections and very highly shonky subsidies.

#5  There never was any proof, just some highly shonky theories.

#4  We've had between 1 and 3 inches of frozen solid Global Warming here in Fort Worth. It's 19F outside, no sign of a thaw today.

#2  Reports yesterday from fly-over near New Harmony indicate nearly of foot of global-warming just before dinner.

#1  Yes, it is .... when I was in school it was called --- one thing --- today another... same thing /diffent day .... Global Warming = Anyone can talk about the weather, but no one can change it.
