Comment on Nonequilibrium thermodynamics and maximum entropy production in...
Hi Everybody - Non-equilibrium thermodynamics is a fundamental description of the Earth system and can be captured in a simple 1st order difference calculation. dS/dt = Ein/s – Eout/s – where dS/dt is...

Recently came across Brazdil et al in Climate Change 05 “Historical Climatology in Europe – the state of the art”. Worth a look IMO.

mike - I did wonder about possible filial relations (or other) with our resident ‘idiot’, but I think the psycho-pathology is subtly different. Robert is a particularly misanthropic doomer; the infant...

Fred, I think we are going to have to agree to disagree. You have, it seems to me, more confidence in the process of scholarship and science than I do. My final point would be that those who err on the...

As of right now, my concrete testable prediction is extremely right with data well inside the range of the past ten thousand years. So your theory is nothing more than an assertion that the future will...

I know some EFS types. Cynical but self congratulatory, and not aware that most of what they say is strongly discounted by their peers. They can ocassionally make contributions and even publish papers...

What, they didn’t have enough computing power in 2006 to manipulate the data? WTF? This is the sort of thing that drives me nuts, altering data years after the fact.

Me too. But you have to remember they’re desperate. Without some new manipulations Hadcrut3 will show 15 years of cooling next month and that is surely unacceptable

EFS_Junior – ignore the nonsense. My Uncle was a junior physicist on George Rankine Irwin’s team at Naval Research Laboratory during WW2. Irwin did a lot to advance the ball on fracture mechanics.

pokerguy, The trolls are impervious to reflecting on the failures of AGW predictions. They will simply find ways to blame the skeptics.

I suspect it is spontaneous, not that some don’t make a deliberate effort to inflame passions. Sadly, I think it originates in a climate where scientists are accused of deliberate manipulation, fraud,...

Be sure to let us know if you ever come with something resembling an argument, won’t you ? You are the one asking the rhetorical questions, which by definition is one that doesn’t expect a response....

Michael - I suspect it is spontaneous, not that some don’t make a deliberate effort to inflame passions. I agree. It doesn’t seem to me to be particularly likely to be coordinated. But I would add to...

That sounds wrongheaded. If the two measurements don’t agree, which is rare for a skilled carpenter, he will measure again to break the tie. In the case of reliable automated systems, a triple modular...
