Is parameterization in climate modeling just an educated guess? For example how to they account for poorly understood variables like clouds?

Well whatever those fine gentlemen at Exxonmobil were doing back in 1982 was definitely working.

you run it lots of times with many different initial parameterizations and get an idea what most of the models end up doing

On planet Earth ( Terra ) , there is plenty wonderfull thermodynamic liquid. English speaking world is calling this liquid water.

Literally there are oceans of it, which when evaporated, could thicken the atmosphere or simillar stuff like that.

Ocean temperature monitoring.

Evaporated water...

Something like total raindrops...

Human nature, because they learned on money as aspect of profit. Is one dimensional, therefore they don't see the real value.

Water, even salty. Problem was almost solved, we've got a device which makes ocean water drinkable and extract heat from it into energy, but somebody asked us what we're going to do with salt.. Do you want to buy a sea salt when it's done?

Otherwise we cannot sell terra watts of energy.

Yea, definately looks like somebody thinks that sea will get saltier if it gets colder, but actually it gets saltier only if it gets warmer...

Dumbfuckery at it's dumbest.

>water ... could thicken the atmosphere
• molar mass of water = 18
• molar mass of atmosphere = 29
