Google "irreducible imprecision" shows this has been discussed for 3+ years.

Submitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Thu, 01/07/2010 - 15:50

A number of recent papers analyzing the nature of climate models have yielded a stunning result
little known outside of mathematical circles-climate models like the ones relied on by the IPCC
contain "irreducible imprecision." According to one researcher, all interesting solutions for
atmospheric and oceanic simulation (AOS) models are chaotic, hence almost certainly structurally
unstable. Further more, this instability is an intrinsic mathematical property of the models which
can not be eliminated. Analysis suggests that models should only be used to study processes and
phenomena, not for precise comparisons with nature.

The ability to predict the future state of the Earth climate system, given its present state and
the forcings acting upon it, is the holly grail of climate science. What is not fully appreciated
by most is that,in the prediction of the evolution of that system, we are severely limited by the
fact that we do not know with arbitrary accuracy the evolution equations and the initial conditions
of the system. By necessity climate models work with a finite number of equations, from initial
data determined with finite resolution from a finite set of observations. These limitations are
further exacerbated by the addition of structural instability due to finite mesh discretization
errors (the real world isn't divided into boxes 10s or 100s of kilometers on a side; the impact of
changing mesh size has been well documented in a number of recent studies).

And if it not getting increasing warmer, then they are all wrong.

I know of no datasets that acutally show "overall" or
global warming (such as sea-level).

what ever this report, it is even simpler than that:
the floating-point specification is inherently chaotic,
as well as being implimented with variation. however,
i have neve seen the update to 1980's IEEE-754,
which is -854, I think.

thus:
the "rods & cones" of the retina a)
do not contain three pigments (per Young's "[apparent] trichromacy
of vision" -- full phrase due to Land), and b)
are both conformed of "log-spiral antennae." so,
how do you get a "photon" to be absorbed by that?

It is the AGW nuts that are fixated on a stupid
myth about a chemical essential to life being both
a pollutant and a warming agent, CO2 is neither,
it helps cool the atmosphere and would not be
a danger if triple present levels in the atmosphere.

"Irreducible complexity" is a common Creationist argument.

We figure out complex dynamic non-linear systems all the time;
arbitrary precision is just that----arbitrary.

Glaciers indeed did not lie during the MWP and LIA.

your delusions of being God like are something you need to model on your

How did you do when you tried solving the complex dynamic instant life
began, have you recreated that one? Or have you been able to explain how
3.5 billion years passed and 2 billion were not able to support life as
we know it..... that means that in about 1.5 billion years you had
enough time to roll the dice and accidentally create life, not only that
but you had to roll those dice billions of times to get DNA that could

check the odds on that and then see how precise you are.

the study seems to conclude,
that it is a meta-analysis "TBD,"
given sufficient computing resources. however,
most of the biases are assumptive,
that more heating should occur at the poles e.g.

Thanks.

Can you help me understand what the conclusion is?

Also, it doesn't call out when the models were last modified (my bit
about "after-the-fact corrections").

My next question is what happens to the outputs from those models if CO2
remains constant?

there is actually quite a lot of rather sporadic CO2 data,

It appears more than went on than ignoring things,
English law is strong on the issue of "intent", so any
documented evidence of intentional actions to violate
any law should be investigated and if the evidence
suggests, indictments should follow.


>there is actually quite a lot of rather sporadic CO2 data,

I think we can accept that atmospheric CO2
concentrations have risen about as claimed, the
difficulty is with determining if that made any
difference at all so far.

It is absolutely certain none of the present actions
will have any effect on global CO2 concentrations, but
if the car companies build only Gasoline Extended Range
Electric Vehicles, it could make a big difference in oil
imports and possibly reduce the price of oil.

All funding for computer models of climate
should be stopped, and the programmers should
seek employment as alternate energy equipment
design technicians.


>> CO2 doesn't remain constant.


But the present concentration is so low,
there is no evidence that another 20 or 30
years will cause any hardship or harm.

The problem is, the gossip fad of Global
Warming is so widespread, it will hang around
even through the first part of the next ice age,
maybe a super-volcano event is all that is needed
to get that started.

"Climate-gate" was about data, not models.

And in a related development, researchers now realize that gravity is
not limited to the planet earth.

Modified based on observed evidence. An after-the-fact correction.

To wit, given sufficient historical data, I can produce a 'model' that
perfectly 'predicts' the historical results. That model is valueless.

I'm interested in a model (or models) that have been sufficiently
defined, and then /left alone/ for a sufficient period of time, and then
analyze the projections of that model against observed environmental
conditions to see if there is harmony or not.

> Asking when a model is last modified is meaningless.

Hardly. Since we are speaking of projections, we are essentially taking
a model and evaluating its output w/o modifying the model along the way.
There is meaning to my question, and it is critically important to
understand and qualify wrt these models.

I'm gathering that you are deliberately avoiding answering my question.

> "after-the-fact corrections" is nonsense.

Correct, they are nonsense if the output from the model is adjusted to
coincide with observed results. Such a model truly is nonsense, and I'm
interested in knowing how many models fall into this category, and more
importantly, how many /don't/.

>> My next question is what happens to the outputs from those models if CO2

I'll rephrase my question so that is it more clear:

...what happens to the outputs from those models if the anthropogenic
CO2 output remains constant?

Nope. Using historical data and comparing a model's projection to
actual historical results is one method of verifying the model's
accuracy.

The known data sets are dynamic. Improved accuracy and additional
sources for example.

So a model should not be modified to include the additional
data/sources even if it improves its accuracy?

Or if a model projects hell will freeze over in July, 2009, it
shouldn't be modified?


> There is meaning to my question, and it is critically important to

Your belief that models should be " /left alone/ for a sufficient
period of time" shows you know very little about these models.

You just don't like their projections.

So all those projections of 20 climate models from 10 countries are
truly nonsense.

Any conceivable parameters? Really?

"Well guys, here's another model down the shitter. Seems that maybe
perhaps possibly someday there might be a gigantic volcanic eruption

Classic Creationist reasoning. "Where are the transitional fossils?".

The process of Approximation used to be in the beginning of every
physics textbook---it is how we figure out experimental design and
various other things.

If you put a pot of water on a lit burner, you can't predict where on
the surface bubbles or convection will appear, or when, but you can
predict that there will be bubbles and convection currents, and the
approximate time.

So the question for you is: What evidence would convince you that
whatever it is you are denying is actually happening? If you can't
answer that, you are all bs and no money.

Of course not! That pesky Einstein went and corrected the previous
model of gravity, just to make it fit the new data, and look at all
the trouble it caused.

You Socialists claim to care about people, but are apparently
indifferent to the anxiety produced when you take away the Goddidit

AGW is just a gossip fad, or maybe mistaken

very gases that cool the atmosphere are thought
to warm it.

ah, so; "they just numbers, dood." so,
what is Earth's largest conspiracy, by etymology?

now, I propose that a model is correct,
at least twice per year, because most Earth scientists
do not comprehend spherical geometry; essentially,
the poles are singularities in their datascreens.

(there's a similar thing in math,
the fixed point(s) theorems.)

thus:
do you posit that "the vacuum" is just aether?... so, if
there is only relative degrees of vacuum,
what is the need for relative dgrees of aether,
to displace the matter that is not in space?

well, what other ponderable properties does it have,
other than this displacement/entrainment?

You will wait for a long time. I'm constantly amazed that these people
think they are fooling anyone---I doubt he took anything beyond
General Science in his education. The echo chamber of talk radio
adolescent group dynamics is really pernicious; apparently he thinks
he can bluff and bluster everyone because his peers are as poorly
educated as he is.

Say, Mr. M, it takes about two posts for someone with a scientific
background to figure out that you don't have any.

well, *almost* a cult?... hte popular front agsinst the use
of DDT was begun with Carson's book, which gave no interest
to any of its benfits, and little actual science. then,
Ruckleshouse banned it, against the recommendation
of the committee that had reported on it.

as for the holes in the ozone,
they are really patterns of weather. however,
Dupont's patents had run out, and
they had also just been hostilely taken-over by the Bronfman gang!
(Imperial Chemicals also played a big role.)

thus:
quelle ridicule!... what experimental proof is there
of a "photon," other than a mere interpretation
of an electronic reading, and a century's blather
from the Copenhagenskool and its undead catpeople?

all essenttial properties of light are wavey, in spite
of the fact that there's a "dual" mathematical interpretation,
since Pauli made his matrices, and the possiblity
of making a photonic model a la ray-tracing.

thus:
your talk of aether is a) fast and b) loose, and c)
you give no experimental hypothesis as to any difference,
at all, that this stuff should make ... gee;
is it a liquid or a solid or, What?

Michelson-Morley did not get a null result, and
this finding was enhanced by others, later!

Michelson-Morley-Miller: The Coverup

The Experiments of Dayton C. Miller (1925-1926) and the Theory of
Relativity
Maurice Allais

On My Experiments in Physics, 1952-1960
Maurice Allais
Einstein’s theories of special and general relativity rest on the
allegedly null results of Michelson’s interferometer experiment. Here,
a French physicist and Nobel Laureate in economics, demonstrates that
Michelson’s results were not null, and that the interferometer
experiments of the American scientist Dayton Miller produced positive
results, thereby invalidating the foundation of the Theory of
Relativity.

Background: Optical Theory in the 19th Century, and the Truth about
Michelson-Morley-Miller
Laurence Hecht
To understand the ground-breaking significance of Dayton Miller’s
ether drift measurements, one must go back to the original discoveries
of Fresnel on the wave theory of light and its subsequent development
in the 19th century.

Into Space from the Sea
Oleg A. Sokolov
Since the dawn of the space age, nations have lofted satellites into
space from launch sites on land. Soon, for the first time, satellites
will also be reaching space from the sea.

to
as for acid rain, that is the supposed great success
of capNtrade; I'd just learned that my Rep. Waxman had
brought *that* bill in, as well, under HW in '91. so,
why does not the Wall St. Urinal et al tell us,
just how wonderful it was & is?

it was capNtrade on NOx and SO2. now,
why this should be an all-encompassing panacea
for CO2 -- probably, but
why can't we just have a small tax on carbon, instead
of letting the arbitrageurs skim it off --
is it possible to have a bit of both?

thus:
OK, what in Heck is the other property of a "singleton?"

> It doesn't matter if the aether is a singleton or consists of aether

thus:
why do you say that
an electrical motor provides no medium
for the magnetic fields, or the air, for that matter?

thus:
apparently, Michelson-Morley's experiments, especially
with the "gas mode" interferometer, were simply not
this alleged "null" result. notably,
DCMiller's work improved upon the non-null results.
would you like the references, again --
can I trust you to try to read them?
it is really to bad, that
Minkowski's or Lorentz's work had to use teh awful "lightcones,"
because they totally obscure the phenomena of the phase-space
(of "space-time").
