Hard hitting global and local news
Should there be any mistakes the Bunny will disavow all knowledge of your actions Eli has found a new toy, a simple energy balance global climate model, which fulfills Box’s dictum that all models are wrong, but some are useful. Brought to you by the folks at Monash University the Monash Simple Climate Model is based on the Globally Resolved Energy Balance (GREB) model, which is a climate model published by Dommenget and Floeter [2011] in the international peer review science journal Climate Dynamics. The model simulates most of the main physical processes in the climate system in a very simplistic way and therefore allows very fast and simple climate model simulations on a normal PC computer. Despite its simplicity the model simulates the climate response to external forcings, such as doubling of the CO2 concentrations very realistically (similar to state of the art climate models)

The students are naive but great and the administrators vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional.
UPDATE : The mother of all polynomial fits from the Canadian Medical Association Journal . Here, we discuss how the outcomes of clinical trials may be affected by the extinction of all mankind and recommend appropriate changes to their conduct

A number of Eli’s favorite folk have asked the Rabett to post their opinions of him encapsulated in the cartoon at the right . Now some, not Eli to be sure, might think it better to be feared than liked, and he can tell you from experience (on which side is strictly your choice) that the tested way to get a seat on the subway is to act, well, a bit like that with optional drool and froth during rush hour.

( Nov. 27, 2012 Board Meeting , Item 4.1) Later on I suggested that we have a "Climate Impact" discussion included in every agenda item just like we currently have a "Financial Impact" discussion with every agenda item

A modest carbon tax has modest carbon reduction results Been meaning to highlight Brad Plumer’s post on a paper about the effect of a carbon tax on emissions (full paper here ). Â A tax of $20/ton, with an inflation-adjusted 4% annual increase, knocks emissions down 14% by 2020, and a larger number in 2050 if you believe economic projections that far in the future
