I am so tired of the whole issue of climate change. I admitted that I did not read anymore than I felt to read.
We cannot change the sun and no amount of faster computers will change that fact.

No matter how big or fast the computer may be, it cannot be better than its programming.
Garbage in, Garbage out.
They will continue to feed incorrect and/or incomplete information and use the wrong manipulations of the “data” to arrive at the “correct” answer, and it will be found to be “scientific”.

This will allow them to identify data that doesn’t support global warming and delete it 100,000 times faster.

This is great technology. Now set the date to 2116 and have it run backwards to see if it arrives at today’s temperature. Or start it today and see if it gets the temperature in 1916 right.

No, but you’ll get the outgoing garbage much quicker

New U.S. earth science supercomputer will be 100,000 times faster than a typical PC So it can be programed to crank out socialist crap at record breaking speed?

It isn't the computation speed which impresses me so much as the boot-up speed. Even the monster spreadsheets which I create at work take 10-12 seconds tops to complete their computation updates.
The boot-up in the morning still takes as long or longer than the Atari days back in the early 1980s.

...some 100,000 times faster than a typical home computer... PCs not running Windows can almost reach that goal.

Will it be monitoring the Yellowstone caldera to detect when it is about to be buried under a mile of volcanic ash?

So it will answer my search results and questions before I even think of them?
