My nephew completed freshman year in college, and he was excited to have qualified for the climate science track. With his prowess in algebra on display, he explained simultaneous equations to me. If A+B=9, no one knows the value of A or B. BUT, if you also know that A–B=3, voila! Now you know both values. The first equation is useless without the second, and the second is useless without the first. All you need is the same number of equations as you have variables.
On my nephew's first day of Climate 201, the learned professor whetted his appetite by telling him this elite class would develop a climate change model.
He shared with me his list of variables: CO2 in the atmosphere, H2O in the atmosphere, fluorocarbons in the atmosphere, snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere, forest fire sizes, orbit wobble of the Earth, sunspot activity, core heat loss to the surface, volcanic activity, continental drift, algae growth in the oceans, fossil fuel combustion, shifting of the magnetic north pole location. His imagination was running wild, thinking of the complexity he would resolve in only one semester.
When he turned in the list, and it was compared to others, he found he had missed forty or so other variables. Not to worry: The class now had a compilation that was certain to lead to an answer. They began the remaining work.

But garbage in, garbage out
Excellent Article!
And given the realities of today, I can’t tell if it was hyperbole, sarcasm, satire, or the actual truth.
Climate 201... Elite class...
Sophomore level class is idiot level
Interesting.
Is Climate Change even scientifically viable? Given the scientific facts, can it even be proved?
Not scientifically viable given two independent studies, one out of Finland (i believe) and one out of Japan that conclusively stated that Man-made climate change has never existed during the last 50 years and, if I remember the article posted here on FreeRepublic correctly, that any increases in temperature were a direct cause of some type of action from cloud cover.
I’ll see if I can dig up the link.
Where are the “correction factors” added to measured data to make it match the computer models?
Well, almost.
“All you need is the same number of equations as you have variables,” like it says in the article, is not quite enough. The equations have to be linearly independent of one another to provide a unique solution, i.e., if one or more of the equations is a linear transformation of one of the others, then the solution is back to indeterminate.
I think the article alludes to a “blackboxed” approach...no matter what you feed into the “consensus” model, it’ll always show warming (or “change,” depending on the day.) We’ll never see the climate change scientists’ model, but they’ll let us feed it whatever questions we might have.
Figures don’t lie, but liars figure.
Mathematics is a tool, but it must be used appropriately.
Cool thing about multi-variate equations, they all vary- and time is often not included in any variable- IOWs, the time variable ( rate of XX over t sub 1, sub 2 subxxx) is then impossible to correlate to other variables that are varying at some other rate of T...
As the Creator God puts it (mildly) “My ways are not your ways, My thoughts are higher than your thoughts”....
But, the god this world is actively working to get man to believe the lie(s), and succeeding in many areas.
I wonder what the university charged for that course? Did the skeptic who left get his money back?
The answer to the climate change equation is 42, and thanks for all the fish.
Imagine Klaatu going into the Classroom and erasing then correcting the equations on the Chalkboard.
Of course I’m taking about the Michael Rennie Klaatu, not that idiotic Globull Warming TDTESS Remake with the silly Keanu Reeves Klaatu.
But the article is a real hoot about how so-called climate scientists first draw their conclusions and then mine data to support them. I call it the reverse scientific method and it is a major tool in the liberal toolbox.

All of the above.
