Go learn about complexity theory and chaos again. We will never have perfect weather models. It's the Three Body problem except you have as many bodies as there are atoms in the atmosphere.
No matter how sophisticated your model is, reality is always magnitudes more complex, and your model necessarily always operates on incomplete knowledge and simplistic assumptions.

>>15977877
Generally, weather forecasts beyond 2-3 days are pretty unreliable. What helps is to compare different models to see if there's a consensus. If the models span a wide range of predictions, they're probably just fitting noise.

Also, note how important good measurements are. Assume you measure the wind speed and you're off by 0.1m/s. Also, assume that wind is moving from one high-pressure area to one low-pressure area, spanning 1000km times 1000km each. A day has ~10^5 seconds. So, within a day, your error on the moved air mass is ten times larger than the air mass in each of the areas. It's obvious that models need to be much more complex, but the timescales for weather forecasts are really short.

Weather and climate are not reducable systems. They are not dice rolls. They are not random patterns that you can average out either. You cannot break them down into constituent parts to predict their behaviour.
Pic related is what a weather or climate system actually looks like over time. It's not a dice roll that averages out to a predictable outcome. It can oscillate wildly for no discernable reason - that's a feature of the system, not a sign of collapse. It has patterns, and sometimes even looks like it's repeating, but if you zoom in close enough you see that its never an exact match.
A dice roll only ever has 6 possible results. Each roll is discrete, self-contained, self-limiting. It doesn't affect the next roll. A dice roll 30 years ago doesn't affect a dice roll today.
/sci/ is meant to like Saporsky.
Watch the first half of this lecture before you ever comment on anything to do with weather or climate again.

Just because weather is chaotic doesn't mean you cant make right predictions Notice how in pic related the double pendulums will have approximately the same behavior for a time period before diverging chaotically. Same principle with weather, any forecast you make will be accurate for a certain time period, but over time the small differences in initial conditions means that the weather will diverge over time.

Computer modeling is pretty much always wrong. Short term weather forecasting by models is only somewhat accurate because near term conditions can't generally diverge all that much from current conditions. Actual human weather forecasters who have experience in their home regions are still always more accurate than the computers are.

Agreed. Until now, we've lived in a total dystopia where the standard of living worldwide has been raised to unprecedented levels, where education and medicine have been accessible like never before, and the globe is connected through air travel and internet access to for the first time erase the borders of nation, language, and culture. The horrible dark age, which has allowed the stars to finally be in reach within the span of only two decades, must be fought against at every level.

First, energy must be restricted and rationed for the good of everyone. Power plants must be demolished, especially nuclear power plants, in order to create the pretext for brownouts, rationing, and mandatory blackout periods.

Next, food must be restricted for the good of everyone. Ration cards, for this is a war against dystopia, must be handed out; at first reducing the amount of meat and luxury foods before eliminating them entirely.

Next, science must be progressively destroyed and made irrelevant. Truths of the past must be muddled and replaced with fads and ambiguity. Today Pluto is a planet, tomorrow it isn't, and the day after the definition will once more 'evolve' to create the impression of progress without achieving it. Windmills will be brought back, medieval era technology, in order to provide electricity for the masses at barely a subsistence level; while the rich are of course allowed whatever the wish. Air travel, cruises, entertainment. The higher classes shall have so that the lower classes may envy, and be easily led.

Finally, we shall eliminate elections under the understanding that the populace cannot choose their own leaders. "Scientists", "experts", and "AI models" know far better. This will usher in the final utopia, where no one is allowed to question for to do so would be "denialist" or "anti-science." It will be a glorious age, a post-enlightenment age, an age that will finally banish darkness because we have redefined what 'light' means.

I am he. Peak oil has been predicted since the 1950's, and has been wrong since the 1950's. We do not need to drag aboitic woo into it.

Definition of a pseudoscience. Try >>>/x/ for schizophrenia, and >>>/pol/ for politics.

And yes, oil is hypothetically infinite because it's just long change hydrocarbons made of hydrogen - most carbon element in the universe - and carbon - fucking soot - but the production process is currently unprofitable. Not that phrase. "Currently unprofitable". Currently. As in, "one day it won't be". So just like we aren't currently eating human protein ration bars as malthusians predicted, neither will we just "run out of oil", throw up our hands, and give up because hurr durr we just would never be capable of making long chain hydrocarbons.

I know a guy who works at a quant hedge fund making prediction models all day.
His PhD at MIT used chaos to get (theoretically unlimited but in practice 15x) the measurement precision when compared to that of Kalman Filters and other techniques.
In chaotic systems, states that are near to each other at one point in time become exponentially farther apart from each other as the system evolves in time so theoretically you can get arbitrary precision by waiting for the system to evolve, and then determining the initial state that must have led to the final state.

The fact is that no resource has EVER run out completely because technology always improves either in the area of production or extraction. If nature can produce something, so can humans. It is simply a matter of research, profitability, and effort. We can already make artificial diamonds that are just as good as natural ones. But oh no! Butane and Pentane! It's so complex!
