l work for pay. Skeptical philosophy isn't useful in making ANY predicti ons, and utility does matter.

Kevin is seriously good at what he does for money. Like John Larkin, he thi nks that his success in one area entitles him to express remarkably ill-inf ormed opinions about unrelated subjects. Spice simulations (and Kevin's Sup erSpice worked really well for me) have something in common with climate si mulations, but nowhere near enough, to justify Kevin's fatuous pontificatio ns on the subject. There he's obviously pig-ignorant.

Physicists have it easy. The butterfly effect means that no weather simulat ion is an exact replication of actual weather, and the size of the models m eans that it makes sense to over-simplify them more than physicists need to , and work with a variety of different oversimplifications to get some idea of how the models fall short of reality.

You are comparing apples and oranges, and should have enough sense to know it.

So what. You aren't running climate simulation models, which have different problems.

That's why climate scientists run a lot more of them, some of them on much bigger computers.

What Kevin is saying here is that he knows essentially nothing about climat e science, not even enough to realise that his ignorance means that his opi nion is worthless.
