Subject: Deck chair arrangement on the Titanic
Date: May 30, 2011
Reports of increases in waterspouts, tornadoes, and other peculiar weather phenomena are to be ignored by staff. Work on rearrangement of the deck chairs for the Titanic will continue unabated.
In an effort to write about the most bizarre topic possible, I thought I would write about climate models. In this case, a climate model that policy makers in the developed nations, the developing nations, the UN, and the NGOs are using to simulate the climate over time. The policy-maker’s objective in using this model is to examine how different national policy options on GHGs (Greenhouse Gases) will affect human society.
