The MET Office say they need a new computer to get their predictions right.
Er, why not just buy Pier’s Corbyn’s laptop – it seems to do the stuff, no?

Roy says:
Slide rule etc.
I’m afraid that giving the Met or other climate scientologists a slide rule would leave too much room for manipulation. Slide rules only multiply and give results in significant figures. The order of magnitude needs to be obtained by rough manual calculation and any addition has to be done manually as well.
Can you imagine how easy it would be to “prove” that the average temperature change of this globe is 100 degrees per day. The arithmetic skills exhibited by these computer modellers is so poor that I personally would have absolutely no confidence in their ability to add 1+1 without getting 7+-3. The correct answer should of course be 10.
Lol, I definitely need a laugh today, glad I passed by on this.. haha

Thanks Anthony. I used this cartoon in my own “eekend fun series, “climate fireball”, http://funwithgovernment.blogspot.com/2011/01/weekend-fun-7-climate-fireball.html
It wouldn’t help. Piers’ software is proprietary, and he’d scrub it before passing on the hardware. So they’d have to write their own.
But that probably be an improvement over the ramshackle Frankenstein’s Monster accumulation of kluges that now makes up their model! Or am I thinking of the IPCC’s 23 GCMs? Or is it all of them?
Which brings up a thought. I wonder if Piers could be persuaded to do a 100-yr projection …
Josh: the package should be C.O.D., £1,ooo,ooo or so should do it.
The best thing the Mt Office can do is to get rid of Dr Pope who seems to think that ‘outside view’ is imaginary. She is the one who cannot get her pet computer to give the answer she expects.
I think Piers is too ethical to consider working for the uk govt.
they won’t offer, he tells the truth, they don’t want that, they want CCredit funds for their govvy employees retirements to soar…
Piers Corbyn,
Just tell them your laptop is a super computer and charge them £33 million for it.
What are you waiting for?
In 1980 I began teaching at a c1000 student high school in a small NZ rural town; the head of Phys Ed, who also worked part time for the local liquor shop, did the timetabling for the entire school on a gridded-off chalkboard in two days. The following year, the timetabling was done on the school’s new computer, a TRS80 (wow!) and sorting out the timetable took four days.
And OT, I know, but I have just found out from Richard North’s blog that an electric-powered BMW Mini just this week blazed it’s way from London to Edinborough in 4 days and some hours, twice as long as it took by coach in the early 19th century – there’s progress, and there’s Green progress!
