1/ Every few years I read a climate change paper, just for lulz. Last one I picked up had model defined over a 1 km grid across the earth's surface. something like 70% of those data points don't exist over land ... so they were interpolated. 0% exist over water (2/3 of earth) https://t.co/qD7PJVePy1

2/ ok, so how EXACTLY does the model interpolate to generate data for its model? two ways: (1) linear extrapolations between on-shore weather stations (2) using the model itself to populate those data points then, the model is run and ... wait for it ...

3/ the paper found that the model was pretty good at predicting .... the "real" data ... that wasn't real ... but was just generated by the model. I've taken QM in college,

4/ Hmm. You made a reference to climate science being as complicated as quantum mechanics. I told you that I've studied QM, and climate science seems flaky, and explained why. Your response is ... "Lmao" ? I had hoped for something more substantive. https://twitter.com/litgenstein/status/1214985241724473344 …

5/ I've read the entire response thread and I didn't see a single "uneducated physics crank". Could you explain which tweet you're referring to please? Thx. https://twitter.com/litgenstein/status/1214985906978865152 …

6/ Block if you want. ...but I think you'd argue your point better and perhaps convince people if you told me how I'm wrong on anything I said, or if you'd cite which "crackpots" are responding to the thread. I see none. https://twitter.com/litgenstein/status/1214986787736571904 …

Replying to @MorlockP @litgenstein
You just earned a follow for this thread alone. And you write SF. I am a nerd :P
