Google had let their programmers stick to things which they can understand ( finding nifty ways to use languages others have developed) and let the physicists and EEs keep developing the real technological wonders which allow them to exist(like transistors, microprocessors, etc).
As for global warming, perhaps these “geniuses” might want to take a few beginning courses on metrology (that’s metrology, not meteorology), and advanced stats. After than, perhaps a few courses on signal processing might be nice.
Then, and only then, will they find out that global warming is a bunch of bull Obama.
A-men! And now, from the crowd for you: A-MEN!
I’ve got a strong thermodynamics, heat transfer, and thermophysical properties of materials background. The idea that you can boil down a property measured at single points like temperature [ T = f(x,y,z,t)] into an average for a field as large as the planet, for a year, with the ridiculously small number of measuring stations we have, with the instrumentation and measurement inaccuracies we have, and have it be accurate to a tenth of a degree F, is just laughable to anyone with a clue.
Unsurprisingly, you can’t find a basic treatise from the Warmist Alarmists on how you go about calculating the earth’s average temperature to the requisite accuracy given all the measurement shortcomings.
To then think we can do the same thing with tree rings and such (TREE RINGS!) to go back in time is so absurd it is just absolute insanity. Except for all the $dollars involved. Once you understand that, it all starts to make sense.
