Tom Nelson highlighted a tweet from an attendee at Gore’s training lecture in Chicago for junior climateers. I thought a comparison would be apt.
Al Gore’s desktop:
Anthony’s desktop:
And in answer to those wondering, no I didn’t clean mine up. It looks like that every day.
I don’t think Al understands the concept of folders.

We had a guy at work that stored everything on the desktop!
but he invented the internet…
lol…that has to be one of the slowest loading desktops…look at all the videos he has stored there.
Al sure is chewing up a lot of RAM with that much crap on his desktop. Sort of gives one an insight into what his brain is like–cluttered and unorganized
Only a genius could work with that desktop.
A sign! A sign!
Probably all stored on the C drive? Ouch!
BTW Google Science…

Fodder don’t need no stinkin’ folders!

Anthony,
Perhaps Gore’s intellectual development is worse than your assessment.
I think Gore doesn’t understand what concepts are in general.

Fits his ‘thinking’ – all over the map.
Or shortcuts.
Anthony,
I don’t think he understands the concept of a lot of things
Reminds me of my old maths lecturer who, when he saw you doodling or writing nonsense, used to say “What’s on the page is a picture of what’s in the head!” I think this goes for Al’s desktop… a picture of utter mayhem and confusion.
Yes, the desktop of a frat boy.
Al’s desk top is worse than we thought
Big Al has never been a folder; never needed to be one.
When you own the table, the dealer and the rule-book it’s easy; just bluff, go all-in and rake in the cash!

C’mon, you knew someone was going to post this.
My bet is the banjo player is smarter than Al Gore.
That doesn’t tell me anything about either desktop user’s abilities. There is no single best way to use one’s memory; to each his own. I myself don’t even use a desktop on any of my computers.
I use one of
ls -ltr
locate
find
ack
whenever I’m lost. This toolset is a perfect supplement to my feeble memory, and I can find everything I need faster than anybody poking his desktop witha mouse pointer. On my mac, I also use Spotlight. I have so many windows open I never have a chance to see the desktop.
On my physical desktop, I keep things in archeological order (to the distress of my wife, who I know will divorce me over that).
Gore’s desktop is that of a Mac. He’s failed to choose the snap-to-grid option (I forget the exact name), so he could make things look neater easily if he chose.
It will need more than a desktop to model climate correctly, but I wonder what overall effect climate blogs will eventually have over politicians. I note, for example, that JoNova got coverage in the Australian press.
I used to respect the “denier blog” Principia Scientific International but now it seems they have been just about taken over by a certain Alberto Miatello who has written a recent article supposedly “trumping” the “flat-earthers.”
Seven of them have apparently “helped” with the article which is now supposed to represent their “important new energy model” but is in fact full of errors as several commenters have pointed out.
But then, in the comment thread which I’ve been watching from the start, they have deleted without explanation several comments which I had read and which clearly and correctly pointed out the author’s errors. I have added a comment of my own which (in case it gets deleted) reads ..
There is an obvious error in the calculations in this article, because the mean Solar radiation over the whole surface of Earth is most certainly not over 400W/m^2.
It seems the author has overlooked the fact that, when the Sun’s rays strike the surface at an acute angle, then the intensity is reduced because the energy which passes through a 1m^2 cross-section of the radiation then falls over a larger surface area. For example, if the angle is 45 degrees then the surface area is 2m^2 based on the square of the cosine.
The overall effect is that the mean intensity is reduced, not by 50% due to half the globe being in darkness, but by about 75% due to the additional fact explained above.
PSI is barking up the wrong tree in trying to explain surface temperatures using calculations based on incident solar radiation, because the Earth’s surface does not act like a gray body with emissivity 0.88 or whatever. If it did, the Sun could heat the equatorial regions to nearly the boiling point of water, as happens on the Moon.
I agree with Rojclague below. I trust this comment will not be deleted as I have seen several others with opposing views to the author have been without providing any reason. In my view they were valid comments.
I thought they data points from modeling for future possible climate outcomes
The sentence should read “Al Gore doesn’t understand.”
Boy.Some people are easily impressed.Guess that’s why she was listening to the Gorebul.LIV(low info voter)
He’s on the board at Apple so it stands to reason he’s using a Mac. I’m not happy we have that in common, but there is a clean-up feature for all folders. The problem is he’s got so much crap on there it will still overlap.
I’d like to thank George Bush, Laura Bush, Barbara Bush, the Supreme Court of the United States, the Attorney General of Florida, and my favorite Floridian, Hanging Chad for keeping that man out of the Whitehouse.
rogerknights says: ‘Gore’s desktop is that of a Mac. He’s failed to choose the snap-to-grid option (I forget the exact name), so he could make things look neater easily if he chose.’
No no, I think dear old Al is more at home with confusion and abhors order like Nature abhors a vacuum… kind of like his apparent random ‘scientific method’ as outlined in his tragie-comedy movie… a complete lack of structure and logical thought.
It would seem that Al Gore has heard of Chaos Theory after all. Or maybe he’s just a practitioner?
