To be called a scientist you have to actually be being a scientist.

In this regard, weather is chaotic, but climate is not. An appropriate analogy is the difference between rolling an honest six-sided die once and trying to predict the outcome and many rolls of the die, whose average approaches 3.5 as the number of rolls increases.<br /><br />A number of years ago, Fred Singer presented at Portland State University.a seminar on the chaotic behavior of climate models. The graphs he used did not show evidence of divergent trajectories; rather, they appeared to represent the trajectories of a low-dimensional strange attractor. I later said as much to the organizer, Aslam Khalil, who had organized the seminar (and who had done so in a way much to his credit). Khalil agreed with my assessment.OnymousGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09132474758071908026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-73947297579744873092018-06-07T21:26:08.157+10:002018-06-07T21:26:08.157+10:00"Average" may be a bit of a slippery ide..."Average" may be a bit of a slippery idea in some chaotic systems, but probability density is not.jgnfldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-82332402921828858732018-06-07T19:57:02.309+10:002018-06-07T19:57:02.309+10:00Figure 2 needs an extra column headed "Denier...Figure 2 needs an extra column headed "Denier speak".Andy Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14975141756383175819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-7808593710400017412018-06-07T09:04:54.294+10:002018-06-07T09:04:54.294+10:00Sou.

Dr Curry's use of the term "chaos" is what the Skeptics call a "woo woo" word, a word that sounds sciency but means nothing.<br /><br />So "equilibrium is fleeting" - really? So Dr Curry is a Milankovitch Cycle denier as well (she just HAS to write a paper on that).<br /><br />In my opinion Dr Curry is willfully engaging in FUD. I do read her blog sometimes and try to read the comments but I don't comment as the number of regular trolls there make any sort of discussion impossible.<br /><br />Frank Rosserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309632468813896365noreply@blogger.com
