virtually all of physics is based on mathematical models. If you eliminate them, very little is left. Every scientist knows and accepts that. If you don't know or accept that the only explanation is that you don't understand science. That’s OK but don't pretend otherwise.
Physics is based on equations which have been confirmed with experiments and measurements that can be duplicated with great accuracy. That`s what it takes to qualify.
Is the problem here that you don't know what a model does, that you don't know what a model IS, or both? This statement, Mr Bear, is... well, I wouldn't reproduce it anywhere they can read English. Based on equations? Really? From where? Do they pick them growing out in a field? Do they fall from the sky? And what do the equations MEAN? Does 2+2=5 specify a Feynmann diagram for weak kaon decay?
Look, I figure you know PMZ is correct, but you feel like you've got to try to deny what he's saying. You've chosen to use the "baffle 'em with your bullshit" approach. Unfortunately, your bullshit isn't baffling enough to throw off a third grader.
If all you got is a "climate science" mathematical model that can`t even mimic reality in so called "hind casts" with any degree of accuracy then you got nothing that would qualify as science, especially not within the framework of exact physics.
That mathematical model? It's chock-a-block full of EQUATIONS that describe climate processes. Every model you and I have ever run into do hind casts just fine cause no author would release them to the public if they didn't. That doesn't mean you can't fuck one up, just like you can fuck up someone trying to do some of that "exact physics".
Reality Check Bear: I just hit a baseball that masses 350 gms at a speed of 75 m/S at an angle of 45 degrees up from the horizontal. When the ball left the bat, it was 1.5 meters off the ground. Sounds nice and tidy, doesn't it. Trouble is, we're out here in the real world: we're using a real horsehide ball with stitching and scuffs and scrapes and cuts and we're in a public ball park with grass and weeds and bumps, the air is moving this way and that, it has some water vapor in it, its temperature and density change as we move through it, there are gnats, mosquitoes and dragonflies buzzing around, it's 1500 hours sidereal time on the 15th of May, 1987 and the moon is 72% between perigee and apogee. I want you to use some of that fancy-dan figgerin' you knows all about to tell me exactly - not about, not close, not even with enormous precision, but EXACTLY where that ball will hit the ground. Or you can tell us why you can't.
All you got then is nothing more than the same "mathematical model" which bookies and gamblers employ.
If that's what you actually think, you're an ignorant buffoon.
If that's just your idea of some baffling bullshit... well, you're not very good at it.
At least they face up to it when their bets were wrong, which "climatologists" refuse to to. Your future trend predictions which were based on a largely falsified past failed to materialize 15 years in a row and counting. So far all you got is a tree that yielded a hockey stick trend and now a dead mushroom which perpetuates the same hallucinations.
The ToA balance still shows the Earth to be accumulating energy. GHG levels are still rising and they still absorb IR. The ocean is heating at a rate never before seen. The Earth's seas are still rising. So... what makes you think global warming has stopped?
What, EXACTLY, are your theories as to the causes and processes that are driving the climate's behavior for the past 150 years? What do YOU believe has caused the warming we've experience and what do YOU believe is causing the current hiatus? And how about a real answer and no more of this very unbaffling bullshit.
ps: less useless photos would be nice as well
