One would think a person with your intelligence would be able to figure out the danger of global warming and why the scientist's are so sure about it?

And information theory was a great discovery e.g. Zipf's law and Shannon entropy.

So back to this Zipf's law and Shannon entropy.

What the great scientists have figured out is how to take any noise. A birds song, monkey chatter, dolphins or noise from outer space; and tell if there is information in there i.e. whether the noise is random or not.

Monkey's are at a 2 and dolphins at a four. We are at 9+ I htink. The Shannon entropy cannot go beyond 9 places except in poetry-lol. After 9 places it all seems random.
