My thesis was to collect combustion data from the boiler of a 400 MW power plant and then compare the 3-D combustion data to computer modeling. (Part of the clean coal technology program)
Sure it was over 10 years ago but the results were surprisingly pathetic. Model could not predict the steady state conditions to any degree of precision at all.
It only predicted the conditions after complete combustion. Something that I could do on a half a sheet of paper and about 15 minutes of time. Professors were disappointed but they did want a valid comparision.
So naturally when I hear about computer model predicting the weather out to 20-50 years I laugh.
I mean seriously. They can predict the weather out ot about 3 days but not even 5 days.
20 years? What a crock.
Global Warming = communism
I got my BS in BS when I was 12, or 13.
God luv ya, Grey!
I wish one AGW hack could tell me, while I’m fishing in a glacial pond just north of Indianapolis, what industry of mankind caused the polar ice cap to retreat from what is now Ft. Wayne, to the Artic Ocean in only 5000 years.
15,000 years ago Detroit was under 800 feet of ice. 10,000 years ago it was a piece of land between Lake Erie, and Lake Huron. Man must have been producing SUV type vehicles in Detroit before Mr. Ford came callin’.
