The Physics of Climate Variability and Climate Change

Michael Ghil, Valerio Lucarini

The climate system is a forced, dissipative, nonlinear, complex and
heterogeneous system that is out of thermodynamic equilibrium.

= Impossible to model with any degree of long term accuracy.

Especially given the precision, or rather, the lack of it, when it
comes to measuring the parameters that go into those models.

The system
exhibits natural variability on many scales of motion, in time as well as
space, and it is subject to various external forcings, ...

"The world is heating up."

Er no, it isn't Not since 2000 or thereabouts.

Except in towns, and where Eco activists are using cigarette lighters on
accessible weather stations.

I've just finished a topical thriller by an author I follow, Scott
Mariani, 'The Cassandra Sanction', in which a small group of
climatologists and astronomers have rumbled the whole 'CO2 is bad'
hypothesis. But a group of powerful businessmen with huge financial
interests in renewable energy systems and in maintaining the CO2 myth,
are slowly having the members of the group killed off, one by one.
Mariani seems pretty knowledgeable on the case against CO2. A good
read from several points of view.

I'll get that. ta
