“You cannot measure 0.6 degree of temperature chance when your measuring device is inaccurate by plus or minus 5 or 10 degrees.”

Sure you can! It’s called imagination! :-).

Early in my career, our design team once got an EEPROM cell model from a rather well known semiconductor company. It had an insane number of simulation parameters. It turned out that this particular EEPROM cell magically created voltage! I mean, you could literally use it as a voltage source in a simulation :-).

After a day of fighting with this company (they were in denial at first), they found their error ... it was fixed and the simulations made sense :-). Sadly, they didn’t discover some alternative power source.

Of course, in academia, the ‘cells’ the comprise a simulation model of global climate are 100% perfect. They’d never make a single mistake in a cell since everyone is perfect in academia in my experience.

I’m sure all of their models have been rigorously verified and the software that simulates the climate of an entire planet, even a small one like Earth, is, without question, 100% perfect since those people are complete geniuses.

Question those models and the nerdy guys wearing glasses will flash their SS badges, go full fascist, and attempt to belittle you into believing in their religion or kill you.

Those people are sooooooooooo much smarter than us peons. Don’t dare question them. Bloody dogooders those climate scientists at the UN ... bloody dogooders they are indeed.

A simple test to see if a predictive model is accurate is to plug in current data and see how close the future predictions come to actual observations. All of the climate models fail miserably at this test.
