Climate models are computer models.
Really!? So, in science, a "model" of something (such as climate etc) in science cannot refer to anything other than specifically a "computer model" i.e. one necessarily involving a computer?
Well, lets see what wiki says the word "model" might mean in science;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model
"...
Model, modeling or modelling may refer to:
Conceptual model;
a representation of a system using general rules and concepts.
...
Scientific model,
a simplified and idealized understanding of physical systems.
....
Computer model;
a simulation to reproduce behavior of a system.
...
Mathematical model;
a representation of a system using mathematical concepts and language.
..."
( very large list of other possible meanings listed there not listed here )
So, a "climate model" MAY refer to (and often does) "Computer model" of climate
but , equally, a "climate model" MAY refer to (and often does) a "Mathematical model" of climate; -can have that without a computer.
Or "climate model" MAY refer to (and often does) a "Conceptual model" of climate; -again, -can have that without a computer.
Or "climate model" MAY refer to (and often does) a "Scientific model" of climate; -again, -can have that without a computer.
-thus clearly proving your above assertion wrong.
-and you call US the morons!?

All climate models are computer models. You are a moron!

"General Circulation Models (GCMs) are a class of computer-driven models for..."
A model being "computer-driven" means just that; it doesn't mean it must be itself a computer model. As a concrete example of that i.e. that actually exists; I am currently doing cutting edge research into a statistical model of probability (called a "mav model" in this case) that is clearly "computer-driven" as, using my computer science expertise I gained from university, I use a lot of computer simulations (using computer programs I made especially for this) to explore and even discover many of its mathematical properties; but this statistical model isn't a "computer model" as it doesn't ITSELF consist of computer simulations nor computer algorithms nor software but rather just consists of equations of probability and concepts.
Nowhere in that link does it say/imply all climate models are computer models and I challenge you to show ANY quote from ANY science link that says/implies the two things equate as you claim and failure to do so shows you are wrong.
Try again.
Originally posted by humyI should add; there were climate models before computers existed and some of them predicted climate sensitivity to CO2 and long before computers existed; how can there existed climate models before computers existed if all climate models are computer models?

I do agree with it.
Your reading comprehension is horrible!
Do you agree with that sentence? Even the graph embedded in the article contradicts it.
Metal Brain: Nope.

Are they surface temps? Heat island effects are bunk data not worth looking at. We have been through this before.

Originally posted by Metal BrainYou should be providing that information to the forum if you think it's important. The graph I saw had no figure legend or explanation of methodology. But this is the data you have sourced to debunk the accuracy of climate models. If your argument is that the data is bunk, how can you prove the models are bunk? Which is it?

I don't see any graph. If you are talking about another link you need to show me which one it is.
