VDare.com writes about the latest emissions from the pie-hole of this commie useful-idiot that people are still calling "the Pope".



To quote the VDare writer, Henry McColloch:

The Holy Father’s crippling naiveté has been on display since the beginning of his Papacy. In 2013, in an address to the “Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People” (which sounds like something out of the Comintern), he said:

I would like to ask all of you to see a ray of hope … in the eyes and hearts of refugees… A hope that is expressed in expectations for the future, in the desire for friendship, in the wish to participate in the host society also through learning the language, access to employment and the education of children. I admire the courage of those who hope gradually to resume a normal life, waiting for joy and love to return to brighten their existence. We can and must all nourish this hope!

Peakstupidity does not plan on being a site just dedicated to the subject of Global Climate Stupidity. It's just that this writer wants to kind of wrap this up soon. More posts on all kind of stuff will be coming, especially on Feminism, a topic key which has no posts to its name so far.

A hippie chick was riding in the club car of an Amtrack train with me on a trip across the glorious West when I was younger. I let her listen to The Dead from my expensive "walkman" knock-off cassette player, and she raved about a country singer named Jerry Jeff Walker.

Here it is 20-odd years later, and, apropos of nothing, I figure I'd put up a live version of his song "Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother".

"He's 34, drinking in a honky-tonk, just kicking hippies' asses and raising hell.

Summary of our take on Global Climate Disruption^TM (Part 2)


Posted On: Monday - December 26th 2016 8:09PM MST
In Topics:   TV, aka Gov't Media  Global Climate Stupidity

Here's what it comes down to, people: Although your writer has met a few very bright guys that were majoring in journalism back in the day, in general JOURNALISTS, aka NEWS REPORTERS, ARE NOT VERY BRIGHT PEOPLE!. I hate to say it, but, they generally know squat-all about any technical subject, as most of them never took a lick of science beyond one self-paced Astronomy elective, and no math past college algebra.

Now, back in the mid-90's, I still used to watch the over-the-air network news. NBC had 2 science reporters, and the younger guy actually was pretty knowledgeable. The other guy was worthless. Try to remember the last time you saw a story on Gov't media or local TV news that was on a field/area that you know much about - something that is YOUR THING. Didn't you feel like the story was so screwed up that you really needed to call the station or write a letter to keep people from getting misinformed by these knuckleheads?

Imagine, if you will, a "journalist" who is on the Global Climate Disruption^TM beat. This guy gets on-line to read a Climatology research paper from a journal. The only thing he will, or can, for that matter, read is the summary. This is usually 1-2 paragraphs that are perhaps 2-5% of the paper. The summary could be quite useful for another scientist who may want to find out if this is a paper worth reading to get information that would be useful to him. However, it's reading by this newsman will be less-than-useless. What he will not get any understanding of will be the assumptions made in the science, the parts about "... this will require more study to improve our data ...", "... more experimentation is needed here ...", "... our accuracy here has been improved only by use of some [fudge] factors, the origin of which must be determined by further observation", etc.

As pointed out facetiously in "What is Peek Stoopiditee?", mathematical results nowadays can be presented with beautiful (or scary, whatever you want) multi-colored, pseudo-3D curves that are very easy to make. However, Garbage in = Garbage out, nonetheless. In order to not put the blame on all of the scientists however, it is to be noted that the tolerance ranges of a mathematical model, and again, any caveats may be clearly stated, but, not in the SUMMARY!, because the summary cannot be a repeat of the entire paper. Therefore, our idiot journalist will not catch all of the information that would make him cautious to see these results as true predictions of the doomsday to come.

I truly believe that most of the scientists in even this highly-politicized field still try to be honest with the data. However, if Dr. So-and-So's paper gets mentioned on CNN and he gets calls from reporters and muckety-mucks from around the world, he's just not going to be too eager to tell them "hey, wait, not so fast - there's a whole lot of stuff that you didn't explain. This work isn't complete, you've blown it way out of proportion!" Well, to his credit, these people don't want to hear it anyway.

That's where the political agenda comes in to the picture. I'm done with this for the evening

Summary of our take on Global Climate Disruption^TM (Part 1)


Posted On: Monday - December 26th 2016 7:34PM MST
In Topics:   Global Climate Stupidity

This post and a follow-up or two (I know I will not fit a whole summary into one post) is a summary for non-technical people of peakstupidity.com's view of the entire GCD^TM hoax/scam/whatever. The descriptively technical posts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 may be unbelieved by a non-technical reader, of course, with the attitude of "the consensus of the climate scientist is this ...", or basically, "how do you know more about this than scientists in the field?" I do not purport to have more, or as much, knowledge of the subject than a climate scientist - one may tell me that this or other process of the climate was completely left out or this one is not important, as you suggest, etc.

The specific physical processes that are studied, and the hierarchy thereof, are not what the 5 posts about mathematical modelling were about. My points in those posts were about the extreme difficulty of modelling of multiple-process systems, especially without experimentation being an option. My posts also illustrate nicely the difference between science and engineering. The big difference is that what is learned in science does not have to be ready to work right away. Work is always in progress.

Were an engineer to publish a paper announcing that he had modeled the climate of the world, then people would expect that this model could be run off of current conditions and should create output of some sort to forecast the climate of next year, next decade, or whenever, within whatever tolerances he advertised. In the science of climatology, it is expected that the journals would cover the on-going work of studying the various processes (say, cloud formation, changes in ocean currents, etc.), but that this work would be studied by others, improved upon, added to and so forth to expand the science. Any serious paper describing a model of the entire climate would have to be interspersed with caveats like "more study of this process is needed ..." and "... the accuracy of our knowledge of this other one is very low ...". To state in a journal article that a published mathematical model should be used to actually forecast climate at the present time is a misrepresentation of of science and would be a flat-out lie.

This is where the politics get involved, and that is where the next post will start.

Somehow, my wife brought up some video she had seen about some pretty poor sanitary practices in India. Once I got to mentioning that I'd just read that something like 1/2 the population of that country still doesn't use toilets, my son got really interested.

After running through a few non-applicable videos on youtube, we finally found one that showed people defecating in a vacant lot (granted, they were kind of organized in a poo-grid of some sort).

Because this boy gets so distracted by anything during meals, I had to get him back on track, to eat his beef. "EAT YOUR MEAT. HOW CAN YOU WATCH PEOPLE POOING IF YOU DON'T EAT YOUR MEAT!!?"

I mean, it's the same meter and everything; it was very serendipitous! If you don't know what I'm talking about, maybe you didn't listen to American radio in 1979. Like I said, skip it.

Corb Lund - could be called the "Prepper's Anthem"


Posted On: Friday - December 23rd 2016 8:20PM MST
In Topics:   Music  Preppers and Prepping

Peakstupidity.com has not covered prepping in any way yet. Zerohedge.com, which is number 1 on the blogroll, and has been mentioned already many times, is not a prepper site per se, but many of the commenters are of that sort. To me, that is one of the best things about zerohedge. One can learn a lot from the written experience of others.

In the future, some prepper-site links will be in the blogroll, but first reviews will be written.

Here is a few year old song buy a western Canadian dude named Corb Lund, who plays with his band The Hurtin' Albertans. OK, the "Peak Oil" idea may be completely out of anyone's head for a good while now, but that's the premise, and this is truly the Prepper's Anthem:

The video is not particularly interesting, so here are the lyrics:

When the oil stops, everything stops, nothing left in the fountain.
Nobody wants paper money son, so you just well stop countin'.
Can you break the horse, can you light the fire, what's that I beg your pardon?
You best start thinking where food comes from and I hope you tend a good garden.

Getting down on the mountain, getting down on the mountain.
Don't wanna be around when the shit goes down;
I'll be gettin' down on the mountain.

When the truck don't run, the bread don't come , have a hard time finding petrol.
Water ain't runnin' in the city no more do hold any precious metal?
Can you gut the fish, can you read the sky, whats that about over crowdin'?
You ever seen a man who's kids ain't ate for 17 days and countin'.

Getting down on the mountain, getting down on the mountain.
Dont wanna be around when the shit goes down;
I'll be gettin' on down the mountain.

There ain't no heat and the powers gone out, it's kerosene lamps and candles.
The roads are blocked its all grid locked, you got a short wave handle?
Can you track the deer, can you dig the well, couldn't quite hear your answer.
I think I see a .rip in the social fabric, brother can you spare some ammo?

Getting down on the mountain, getting down on the mountain
Don't wanna be around when the shit goes down;
Gettin' on down the mountain.

When the oil stops, everything stops, nothing left in the fountain.
Nobody wants paper money son, so you just well stop countin'.
Can you break the horse, can you light the fire, whats that I beg your pardon?
I think I see a rip in the social fabric; brother can you pass the ammo?

Getting down on the mountain, getting down on the mountain
Don't wanna be around when the shit goes down;
Gettin' on down the mountain.


Addendum: The Calamity Song by The Decemberists embedded a few weeks back came on the radio just after this writer started reading zerohedge regularly, and it sure fit right in. The lyrics are really just jumbled-up garbage though (again, the REM influence!), but the song rocks anyway.

There is no working mathematical model of the world's climate, dammit! (Part 5)


Posted On: Friday - December 23rd 2016 7:56PM MST
In Topics:   Treehuggers  Global Climate Stupidity

(Continuation of Part 4)

Where we left off before was a few paragraphs on the complications of mathematical models and why any model of the world climate advertised so far has left out some overridingly-significant physical processes, in particular, the ICE AGES. They were a big deal, and more of a change of climate than even the most extreme climate disruption alarmists have been trying to freak people out about. What would a few degrees up or down in the average global temperature mean, even if caused by humans, compared to thousand mile 100's of yards thick sheets of ice coming down through Canada to scrape Detroit off the map (see there's good news too, right?)?

If the start time of the next ice age can neither be determined by these purported models, nor are there some other empirical calculations of their appearances that can be input to the models, then these models are total crap.

A rebuttal from these people to this will be "well, that is all really-long term, and we are just modeling the medium-term climate". My reply to that is "how do you know, then, if we are not in the beginning phase of the next ice age and, since you don't know squat about this, how could you know if everything your model predicts will be negated, doubled or whatever?"

This writer got into a back-and-forth on-line discussion back in 2009 about climate modeling in the comments section of Mr. Vin Suprynowitz's (a great libertarian) column in the Las Vegas Review Journal. The guy was fairly reasonable and calm, and this discussion went on/off for most of the spring and summer, but unfortunately has been wiped off the web due to re-design of the site (and I'm sure a requirement for non-anonymity also). I brought up the El Nino and La Nina effects. Hey, I've respect for scientists that can at least see cause and effect of the ocean currents, wide-area atmospheric pressure regions and all that. It is great that they can get some idea of coming general weather conditions for areas of the US for one or two seasons ahead. However, as my debating opponent admitted, the El Nino effect is NOT KNOWN ABOUT UNTIL IT IS ALREADY IN PROGRESS. (Same with La Nina, the opposite effect). So, I asked the gentleman if El Nino/La Nina are INPUTS to, or OUTPUTS from, these climate models. The answer is neither.

The next post on this will be off of the overview of the descriptive science and modeling and on to the reasons for this hype/hoax about something that should be just an ongoing field of science, not a wet dream for control freaks all around the world.

The philosophy of Confucius


Posted On: Thursday - December 22nd 2016 10:02PM MST
In Topics:   Humor  History  Pundits  China

After having alluded to a difference in philosophy between ancient Chinese culture under the influence of Confucius and American (Western/Christian) philosophy in this post, I should explain this more, I figure.

The writer has not read much of Mr. Confucius' writings, nor even any Cliff Notes versions, but I have read some history of the country. The general ideas of Confucius and the multi-millenial history of the Chinese seem to always boil down to the concept of harmonius living - living in harmany with each other without conflict, no matter what one's station in life may be. The multi-century's old Western, and especially American, culture exhibits a quite contrary philosopy, that of individualism.

This is what my comment in the other post was referring to. This blog attempts to put out the truth, among all of the massive stupidity that the people of America and most of the Western world is bombarded with continuously. An important cultural tradition of Americans is (or, at least was) to stand up for what is right. The Confucius idea of harmony does not allow for the individualist. "The nail that stands up gets hammered down", the Chinese say, while Americans say "the squeaky wheel gets the grease".

I am proud to still stick with the attitude that says: even if everyone around you is against your point of view, what's right is right, and the truth is the truth. That's the philosphy of this blog, Confucius be damned.

Additionally, having perused just a few of the writings attributed to Mr. Confucius' I am puzzled as to the high stature in which he is seen by Chinese intellectuals:

Confucius say:

Woman laid in tomb may become mummy.

Man who fall in vat of molten glass make spectacle of self.

Man who run in front of car get tired. Man who run behind car get exhausted.

Even the greatest of whales is helpless in middle of desert.

Grease monkey who go to bed without bathing wake up oily in the morning


OK, I think the 4th point is fairly profound, but, as to the rest of these "brilliant writings of this revered ancient sage of the East", I mean, come on! An American 6th grader (well, OK, not in public school) could do better. You call that claptrap high-brow philosophy??

*************************************
[UPDATE (3 mins later):] Whoops, peakstupidty.com staff regrets the misattribution of the above writings (stuff in italics) to Mr. Confucius of the People's Republic of China. These writings were posted by an intern working for the blog, who had understandably lifted them from the works of a different Confucius, Mr. Bill Confucius of Paducah, Kentucky. We sincerely regret the error. It won't might not happen again.

Another song about a riverboat


Posted On: Thursday - December 22nd 2016 9:18PM MST
In Topics:   Music

This post has a happy song about a riverboat by Elton John. I just thought about another song about a different type of boat coming up the river - this is Neil Young's Powderfinger from the album Rust Never Sleeps.

Davey Johnstone's (Elton's guitar player) bright guitar sound is quite different from Neil's high-power peak-distortion sound here. This is a great song, but much different from Dixie Lily:

The album Rust Never Sleeps has acoustic guitar songs on the first side ("side" meaning nothing but the first 1/2 of the album, unless you go back to the vinyl) and the second side has hard-rock distortion electric guitar. So, the song "My my, hey, hey" is not to be confused with the song "Hey hey, my my!".

On the Daily Mail article about Berlin murders again


Posted On: Wednesday - December 21st 2016 8:01AM MST
In Topics:   Commies  Immigration Stupidity  Globalists

This post was getting long already, and the writer was getting steamed, but here is one more quote I wanted to add and comment on:

"Horst Seehofer, the minister-president of Bavaria and one of the harshest critics of her open-door asylum policy, caused a storm Tuesday night when he said on TV: 'We owe it to the victims, to those affected and to the whole population to rethink our immigration and security policy and to change it.' "

It's a pretty sad state of affairs in a country when the stupidity level, in this case, the political correctness, is so high, that this simple statement about a government policy "causes a storm". If Herr Seehofer's simple statement above "causes a storm", I wonder what the whole truth written in plain English, such as THIS would cause, a Class 5, 300 mph, 26.5 in-Hg center-pressure 2-mile wide tornado? Or maybe, just 10 years jail time is what it would cause, explaining why they Germans can't write or even say the whole truth. I am thankful our country has not gotten to this high stupidity level just yet (it is thanks to God, and thanks to a few hundred wise men who wrote-up the US Constitution.)

About the Chinese


Posted On: Wednesday - December 21st 2016 7:46AM MST
In Topics:  NONE

This and this post under the topic key Cheap Chinamade Crap may make the reader think that this site is really down on China in general.

I really cannot say that. There is Chinese blood in this writer's family, and I have much respect for the Chinese and their cultural traditions going as far back as the first PoonTang Dynasty (not the TV show with the busty blond, I'm going a little farther back than that). I respect the work ethic of the Chinese and the generally (though changing unfortunately) wise and conservative financial ways, and their amazing ability to get along well even in large crowds, which is pretty much the way they have to live.

The problem, I can foresee, is that any Chinese readers may not get the humor unless they were born here or grew up in this country. I think many, even with a sense of humor, may appreciate different humor than that presented here. In these cases, I won't be able to follow Confucius's advice* to get along with my fellow man harmoniously. Rather than smile at the humorless readers, wish them luck, and go on my way to call them assholes to my friends and family - the Chinese way, I am still under the real American cultural paradigm, which goes: "Fuck you if you can't take a joke! GET! OFF! MY! WEBSITE! BITCH!"

According to the UK Daily Mail, the first suspected GERMAN MAN in the multiple murder and maiming in Berlin was the wrong guy. The actual GERMAN MAN (although, uncharacteristically, a bearded, rag-headed goatfucker (yes, but OUR bearded, rag-headed goatfucker - German Editor)) is on the loose, and "GASP", he's got an evil gun on him.

Hündin Merkel, Reich Chancellor, or whatever they call them now, is, I quote (well, wait, this keyboard's got quote marks on it, so) "shocked, shaken, and saddened ... " Yeah, she's a bit sad that she may not stay in office longer. I don't think she's been shaken and shocked yet. I would like to see her shocked in the near future, by 25,000 Volts for a few minutes (AC or DC I don't care - I'm pretty open minded) after a trial by a jury of her subjects. I think the "shaken" part would come as a by-product.

The blood's on your hands, stupid broad:



The article linked to has lots of pictures. I'm not a woman with the intuition to read a face, for example, and see what some of the thoughts inside are. Still, upon looking at some of the truly saddened German women in the pictures, I want to say "Hey, Miss Compassionate non-hateful person, just what in the hell did you think was gonna happen!? Maybe you shouldn't be voting at all and should listen to your men who may have more compassionate and less hate than you think, it's just compassion and love for their own people, not some illiterate dune coons!"

Brilliant plan by Chinese Communist Party Cadres pans out well


Posted On: Tuesday - December 20th 2016 9:02AM MST
In Topics:   Cheap China-made Crap  Humor  Curmudgeonry

I could be just a bit paranoid about this, but here is the results of my investigation into an odious, I mean egregious, no, brilliant plan by a group of Chinese party Cadres* to destroy American ingenuity and take over any and all markets. You read it here first, remember!:

Plan QASFAM IV, Quality Assurance Sabotage to Fuck-up American Machinery, revision 4, as translated by our peakstupidity assets in-country from the original Mandarin: 鄰 邻 斃 毙 蠟, 四, pronounced "wei fuk xit oup".

*******************************************

A) Sell cheap tools at Harbor Freight and Northern Tool that irresistible for average American hands-on prole.

B) Come up American brand name about tools so being sounded like high-quality old rust-belt mighty industry. So far we name torque wrench Pittsburgh and such.

C) Name air compressor like big factory name Central Pneaumatic and try best American spelling.

D) Make hand tools from pot metal. Win-win, use tin, make steel and aluminum saving. Shine up to looking like steel using ex-party member labor in Shangxii cave-dwelling facility, former fissionable material storage area of motherland war II with wrong-type-of-communism, northern retneck neighbor country era.

D) Implementing 30-day non-honerble return policy.

E) Sit back, eat pop-rice and watch throw firework!

*******************************************

Working example from Appendix A:

- American prole decides to use belt sander to finish legs for home-made wooden table.

- Sander fails 1/2 way through second table leg from cheap bolt holding belt guide. Belt flies off, goes through Harbor Freight cheap safety glasses causing eye irritation and increasing sales of our China-made Rite-Aid placebic medicines. 1/2 hour wasted.

- Man buys new bolt from Lowes. Chinese alternator break on way back from store. Man walks to Auto Zone and buys new alternator and China-made socket wrench and 15 mm socket, fixes auto and makes it home. 2 hour wasted.

- Man uses crescent (see sound like American built, but not) wrench to install new bolt to attach guide on belt sander. After 3 turns, crescent wrench adjustment knurled part fails in torsion at deep groove (we are sooo smart we scare self!). Man drives car to hardware store for new low quality, only wrench available. He drive car home on battery power only, as alternator belt rip due to bad finish on new alternator pulley. 1/2 hour wasted.

- Man fixes belt sander and finishes 2nd table leg. He work on 3rd table leg sanding when sander motor seize and causes flipped breaker in shop. Breaker break in 2 pieces when American prole try to switch back on. 1/2 hour wasted.

- Man take out American-made handgun and put many large hole is belt sander. Man returns to store (at high speed on battery power only) and obtain honorable 4-month return of money for sander from employee at gunpoint. 3 year, reducible-to-2 under probation wasted.

*******************************************


* Cadre [Webster's edition XMIIV, revision 4(d)] - noun, "cad ray". 1) a commie dude who is involved in any kind of odious, egregious, or brilliant plan of some kind. 2) another commie who is involved who says "ain aahh helped!", but in Mandarin.

War (on Christmas) in Germany ....


Posted On: Tuesday - December 20th 2016 8:08AM MST
In Topics:   Immigration Stupidity  Globalists

... and elsewhere in the western world. I don't mean the cultural "war on Christmas", I mean the actual war, this time at Christmas - with one-sided skirmishes by the goat-love crowd on the Western World. The latest one-sided skirmish was the truck attack in Berlin, Germany. As of yesterday, we didn't know if the moslem "refugee" shouting "Alalu Akbar" was in reality a terrorist, or just a regular old German gentleman with a driving problem.

It's hard to tell by headlines. We must read between the lines, like an old babushka perusing Pravda while sitting on the toilet.



Danke, hündin! This lady should be tried as an accessory to a coupla hundred counts of murder-1. Book her, Dano!


The murderer in question here may keep getting called "the German man" by our and other country's government media. The governments, gov't media, and the globalist crowd in general, like that sort of thing, as they can maintain the line "see, he's a German, homegrown terrorist." (yeah, "homegrown", like under the grow lights in my friend's closet before his house burned up - true story). "It's not about the immigrants, folks, nothing to see there, this sort of shit just happens. See, this guy wasn't an immigrant."

I don't care where this guy was born, he's a moslem terrorist waging war, and whatever colored passport he may have doesn't mean squat to me. He's not a German, and Syed Rizwan Farook and his San Bernardino broad are not Americans and never will be!

Two Americans or not? We report, you decide.


Why were these people's parents allowed to move in to Western lands? That's the question people want to ask but won't due to being scared of being called names.

Great comment from Amren.com about the globalists


Posted On: Monday - December 19th 2016 8:28PM MST
In Topics:   Commies  Immigration Stupidity  The Russians  History  Globalists

A commenter named "Andrea Ostrov Letania" sums up a plethora of American stupidity and a kind of quandrey for the globalists with this great comment under this article about violence by Mexican immigrants.


"On the matter of RUSSIA interfering to help elect Trump...

This is what I don't get.

Globalists have been telling us that nationalism is so passe, so over.

Let's have open borders. Ideas about national independence and sovereignty are quaint, atavistic.

Some states say even non-citizens should be given the vote, even illegals, and some states don't even bother to check if those registered to vote are citizens.

And no problem that the most important newspaper in the US is 'owned' by a Mexican who isn't even Mexican but a Lebanese. A 'Mexican' owning an 'American' paper.

Also, big cities in the US don't even force national laws. They offer 'sanctuary' status to illegals who broke national laws.

So, if the NATION doesn't matter anymore and if everything should be open/global, what's wrong with Russia or any other nation interfering with US elections?

Hey, it's Open Borders Politics. I say let's give amnesty to Russian hackers if they were indeed responsible. If we should give amnesty to 20 million illegals in America, what's all this fuss about national security? Those hackers aren't so bad. They are just undocumented political activists.

It's funny that Globalists who've done everything to undermine national security, national identity, and national unity are now the very people who are making all this noise about how some FOREIGN nation messed with our NATIONAL election.

The Globalists have been calling the nationalists who supported Trump as deplorable 'xenophobes', but it's now the Glob that is now in total 'Russophobic-Xenophobic' mode of how some 'foreign body' messed with our sacred NATIONAL election.

But then, the current US is really batty. It yammers endlessly about how the US military and government are doing everything to ensure that other nations don't threaten OUR WAY OF LIFE... but then, it also says the US, being an exceptional and indispensable nation, has the right to invade and intervene in other nations to determine their WAY OF LIFE, like surrendering to the homo agenda and multi-culti Diversity. Globalism sure works funny. Other nations don't mess with our WAY OF LIFE, but we should interfere with theirs. I mean how dare Russia not have massive homo parades on Red Square that commemorates 20 million dead in WWII? Them Russkies got no sense of priorities."

I hadn't thought of that contradiction before and wouldn't have been able to sum it up so well myself.

[UPDATED:] Here is an article out today on VDare.com that makes the same point, but in a more wide-reaching, historical manner. One thing he left out is not the latest Clinton Foundation pay-to-play business, but the Bill Clinton White House dealings in the 1990's involving giving away American sovereignty to the Chinese Commies in return for money and favors.

There is no working mathematical model of the world's climate, dammit! (Part 4)

(Continuation of Part 3, which should be just below.)

The hot bar soldering process analysis has been broken up by the writer, though the researcher working on it years back would probably have more to add.

Anyway, with the 3 modes of heat transfer that were modeled, only one of which is based on very accurate theory, the interrelated parts must be put together. The non-technical reader is asked to believe us here, that, no, the problems can NOT be solved separately. Temperature at a part's surface is determined via conduction, but then the convection and radiation transfer not only DEPEND on that temperature, but also "AFFECT" that temperature, and etc. Cause and effect go two ways here, so the model must simultaneously solve the math for all modes (Oh, and don't forget transience, or modelling the process over time.)

When put together, the model will generally produce a lot of garbage data, even with very good models of the individual processes. Then, much "tweaking" and comparison to experimental data must be done to fix unforseen problems in the math.

OK, to compare now to a model of the world's climate, this soldering process sounds, say, at first glance to a mechanical engineering student studying heat-transfer, to be a piece of cake, but it's not. Compare that to all the things (physical processes) going on with the earth's energy transfer and balance that I described in Post 2 as just a start).

I also described in Post 2 how there are many processes, that must be part of the model, that are either not even known to exist or were not considered at all. For my friend's research, he had to learn about "thermal contact resistance" and include that. This is the variation of heat transfer across a boundary of 2 solids. A good example of this concept is that of walking barefoot across a WalMart parking lot one July day. Try it! At least on the rough pavement, not all of your feet's surfaces touch rock and tar. Then, get on a really smooth part (same exact material) and you're gonna be screaming and hopping around after a few seconds. (unless you've been barefoot the whole summer like I have!) There is a pressure-dependent element too, which must be known accurately to be part of the math model. This thermal resistance at the boundary also had been mostly studied empirically. That is just one of possibly more (forgotten since the years have gone by) processes that were not initially regarded as important to a good analysis of the "simple" hot-bar soldering temperature fields.

Compare the idea in the above paragraph with what would be required to be included in any working climate model. Are they missing anything? Wouldn't the causes of the ice ages be really damn important to know, given that the changes are so high compared to what these current models are allegedly forecastng? Yes, they would. Do these alleged models purport to tell us about the next one? Really, enquiring minds really want to know. The scientists must have just forgotten to tell us. Even on a smaller scale, are all the physical processes involved known accurately.

See the unfortunate thing is, an entire model of the climate can not be tested versus experiments. We only have observation, and so far the output that said "no more snow, sell your snow blower on ebay before the next guy!" and "more hurricanes, batten down the hatches, get over to Lowes for more plywood!" 10 years back have not really panned out, in my humble, 2-ft-snow-bound, rotting-10-year-old-plywood-in-the-garaged opinion.

Now, take El Nino, and La Nina, puhleeeze. Wait .....
