The Blackboard » My reaction to a quote.

Basically, it’s been pretty well understood that a bunch of parameterizations, each of which may appear plausible individually, may, when collected together, result in a system of equations that violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics in at least some instances. Or, the system may just do “weird things” (i.e. like being ill-posed.)

If these “unanticipated and unphysical interactions between its component parameterizations” can arise in bubbly flows, flows of sprays and gas-solid flows, why would anyone be surprised that similar interactions might apply in climate flows?

Global Shamming: Give Up Certain Foods and Alcohol to Fight Warming

I truly hope all this hogwash fails like the stupid BS it is! I will not stop eating food that I prefer; I will not stop drinking alcohol. I will not stop driving a gas-powered car. I will not stop eating tomatoes. I will keep using regular light bulbs as long as they're available.

Show your loyalty. Sell your Prius. - Moe_Lane’s blog - RedState

We’ve already established that this administration considers falling in with its policy positions to be ‘patriotic‘: and clearly, supporting the GM/Chrysler takeover is falling in with its policy positions. Considering that - as usual - the Political Class is wildly divergent from mainstream America when it comes to this issue, it is clearly their patriotic duty to make certain that the GM/Chysler bailout succeeds. That means selling that hybrid made by a foreign auto company and buying an American car*. And since it’s a crisis, well, they need to do that right now. Everything else has to be, so this should be, too.

If they were really loyal, they’d do it.
