Climate models have been wrong so much on predictions, that the little they get right seems like the stopped clock effect.

From a 6th grader who readily adpated to internet culture: "Pay attention now, because your opinions suck" -
Did I correctly interpret it?
Yes. The reason for the "initialization" bit is that the conservation equations for a fluid are extremely sensitive to initial conditions (are "nonlinear"). When you increase the resolution by going from climate to weather, you have to be very careful when specifying the initial conditions."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

Well I'm happy to know that I can parse a sentence of scientific writing.
As to why I think it's badly written, it mostly comes down to aesthetics. Short words are better than long words. Jargon is fine as long as it's necessary, but my eyes glaze over looking at page after page of big words like that. It reminded me of proofreading papers for the science majors at college. It's not exactly gibberish, but it's certainly tiring to read that sort of writing. It makes my eyes burn and my mind turn to mud.John Brown did nothing wrong.Comment

Yes and no. Its true that it would be good with more data - especially historical, but the real problem is that measured data doesn't match the models.Originally posted by Jon Miller View PostWith or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
