Sentences with phrase «meaningful predictions of»

in three subjects — computation, mathematics and physics (and I mean this literally — it is listed twice in this page devoted primarily to computational physics grand challenges, Navier - Stokes is one of the grand challenges in mathematics with a substantial prize, and both classical and quantum chaos, self - organizing phenomena and complexity in general are grand challenges in physics (all present in the single problem of understanding the climate well enough to compute meaningful predictions of future climate)-- it seems both unlikely that this science will be «settled» soon, nor is it at all unreasonable that it is not settled at this point in time.

Of course, these results can not be directly extrapolated to the real climate system, but they do disprove the common but misguided claim that chaotic weather necessarily prevents meaningful climate prediction.

I also believe that the prediction of future ice states in the Arctic is not possible in any meaningful sense.

My friend, Climate Science is not a science since it has no precise numerical variables, no laws, and statistics are not applicable because there is no physically meaningful time intervals over which to take averages and no periodicity The system is not stationary — meaning that the earth and its atmosphere and the sun, and the molten interior and the cosmic radiation present a constantly changing environment far beyond the capabilities of prediction.

This convergence of El Nino and solar effects has unfortunately confused many and is exactly the reason that temperature changes over a decade are not very meaningful in climate prediction.

In other words, even if you've got a whole series of cycles to go on, without a mechanism you can't make ANY meaningful predictions.

But you work with something that nobody can explain in physical terms and that requires so much time that any meaningful prediction might take hundreds of years to happen.

What is known of natural climatic variations of the past 100 million years provides invaluable insights into projected greenhouse warming, and the only meaningful tests of some of the modeled predictions.

If someone had wanted to produce a prediction based on multiple models that matched short - term trend lines, one would have had to somehow aggregate the short term trend lines of the models in a meaningful way, which is pretty much the opposite of what one gets by taking the mean of the models.
