there's a lot of opportunity for complexity in this topic. sometimes that leads to
a better understanding; sometimes it leads to a better confusion. for understanding,
i always lean toward simplicity... K.I.S.S.
i think the collection, organizing and conclusions of information/data will best
be handled through networked sensors, engineering, computer programming and
artificial intelligence programs. NOAA, NASA, the National Weather Service,
University Science Departments, etc.,...
then comes the simple part -- just readin' the friggin' charts. YIKES!!

ps- i know this doesn't address your whole question about the evolution of this thread.
but it's all i've got NOW. maybe it helps, maybe not.
pps- it looks like this global warming is causing quite a spike in human population. LOL |
