Just because I discovered that my cat will scratch me if I mess it around too much does *not* make me a cat scientist. :-) I see it more like 'just because I discovered that pulling back on te stick on my aeroplane makes it climb higher, it doesn't mean that the more I pull pack the higher it will get. I.e. to the naive, everything looks like a simple linear equation. In fact at any given point can be closely approximated by a simple linear equation representing a tangential straight line. However, the world is neither simple, not linear, and economists and climate scientists would do well to learn that. GEM: the Great Extrapolation Mistake. "hey, if I put half a tonne on this wooden beam it deflects an inch, so if I put 50 tonnes on it it will deflect 100 inches right?" I'm not sure if the analogy is quite on the same scale. Extrapolation is generally fine for small % of change, where the model has been previously verified with real data. |

As in: I have moved an inch closer to the cliff edge, and have gained an inch in altitude.. I have moved another inch closer to the cliff edge, and have gained another inch in altitude.. I have moved another inch closer ...Oops. Im dead ! ??? In short extrapolation is not fine for a small % of change even when the model has been verified with real data IF THE UNDERLYING REALITY EXHIBITS SEVER NON-LINEARITY. The problem is that linear maths is easy to do and works jolly well. For a lot of cases. Applying it to non linear situations or ones that exhibit chaotic behaviours is more dangerous than not having a theory at all. And yet that is what climate change alarmists and economists are doing all the time. -- Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers. |

Howver we had a stuck jetstream last year. and it didnt end up south, just stuck.
