Your protests are like your intellect, vapid and moronic.

RJP,

Please find attached link, that was the first choice by searching Google for “climate model, AER, scast” (as I said it would be).

I understand how difficult Google is to use, its perfectly understandable that you were unable to find this info.

In the link, you will find a climate modeling company touting their success in writing fanancial risk models as a reason why you should trust their climate models. Due to the fact that this is the point of this entire thread, I am sure you will see how relevant it is.

NOT

Michael – I’m not sure it follows either. I’m not sure there is a single discipline in modern science which does not at some stage make use of highly complex computer models, and I find the attempt to slur a science by means of spurious comparison to a non-science quite preposterous. It is like saying that climate models must be wrong because Windows crashes sometimes.

Even without the remark about Al Gore, I think the post still implies that the failure of the financial models casts doubt on the value of all computer models. I’m not so sure that follows.
And the failure of the financial models may have been more a function of how they were used than a problem with the models themselves.

“You quoted some text from a weather forecasting company’s website, and it has not become any clearer with time why you thought this quote showed that there was any kind of link between climate models and financial risk models” Its not clear becuase your stupid. The company that makes the climate modeling software touts their modeling expertise in the fancial risk modeling field as a reason why you should buy their climate modeling software. It said that right in the quote I provided, and in many other places on their website. If you cant see what this has to do with this post, you are a moron. This thread is based on the notion that Al gore engages in this behavior. But since I have shown that the climate modelers themselves do this, whether or not AL does it is irrelevant.

You must just be pretending to be stupid and forget what you have been arguing all along.

My link simply shows that climate models are created by modelers who had previously written financial risk models. And that the companies themselves tout the success of their previously written financial models as an argument as to why a users should trust their climate models. I gave up being able to prove that Al was ever aware of this connection or ever said anything about it. I simply showed that it was true regardless of what Al had said.

I felt this was a more useful avenue of discussion. But you have consistently failed to properly characterize the proof I provided. I pointed out more than a dozen posts ago that Al may have never said anything about fanancial models, but that the connection is still valid without Al’s help or knowledge.

I knew you did not read my posts….
