Fake shit, no published results in legit journals, no reference to any existing models, irrelevant nitpicking and nonsense for the ignorant. Finally Nakamura is an expert on dynamics. Climate change is about long term changes, not extremely short term dynamics (i.e. weather).

NASA temperature records used to show March, 1878 as the hottest month on record around the world. There was a global heatwave and drought which killed fifty million people that year. NASA has since made the heat of 1878 disappear, and removed all of the hot weather prior to 1880. And the Australian Bureau of Meteorology has done even worse.

Another perfect picture created by a SiliconInvestor system analysis mastermind is an analog of the mental models that post on SI.

Sdgla, good article, but the truth is that there is no such thing as a "perfect model."

All models are flawed by design, because it's impossible to capture every significant variable that contributes to the results.

The trick is to make the model reflect reality as close as possible. And even the "reality" that is being modeled can never truly encompass everything, so the parts of said "reality" that are not being modeled need to be abstracted out.

As for "perfect vs. garbage data," I don't get that. Data is data. It's objective. It's measurable. The margins of error are well-known.

If someone has to manipulate the data for any reasons whatsoever, that should be included in the model (and the accuracy thereof), not the data itself. Any alterations in the data itself is pure fraud, plain and simple.

As for whether scientific models these days are accurate to any degree, that's another can of worms. Suffice to say that in today's political environment, accuracy in models is quickly becoming irrelevant, and that's a crisis that few in the scientific community want to address.
