Languages have words that have specific and accepted meanings as defined in dictionaries. We don't have the authority to change those definitions to suit our purposes otherwise others will not be able to understand what we are saying and will misinterpret what we are doing.

Those definitions can only be modified somewhat in specialist situations such as in scientific usage, where the definition becomes more specific and clearly only applies to the current circumstances. In those situations, reverting to the colloquial definitions, is at best confusing and at worst deliberately deceptive.

For example "theory" in the common usage is often taken to mean "hypothesis" or "conjecture" or "speculation" whereas in scientific parlance it means a hypothesis that has gained significant observational, theoretical, or mathematical evidence to support it. In other words is in science, a theory has been tested and found to be viable.

"Climate" in the scientific context means the weather at a defined location averaged over a defined period of time (usually decades) in a specified parameter. It can be narrowed further by specifying a specific time period (such as a day, month, or season). It can be broadened from a specific location to include the averages taken over a county, state, country, continent, or planet.

So you could have the average rainfall in the month of May in Maine over the last 50 years.

The most common parameters for characterizing climate are temperature, precipitation, and wind. Others such as humidity, pressure, cloudiness, etc. can also be derived.

As all these parameters can be defined and measured, by definition, climate is quantifiable.

Some people cannot wrap their heads around the concept of averaging over an area with a non-uniform gridded measurements. There are thick statistical analysis text books describing multiple approaches on how this can be done reliably and standard routines developed to do this.

When I did this sort of thing many years ago we used 2D splines or Fourier image analysis techniques. We checked the results using Monte Carlo techniques, for example. But we were then dealing with Fortran and computers with the computing capability of a modern smart phone. Now they have super computers that would have given my old IBM360 a headache just thinking about.

Provided the averaging methods are described such that others can test them and the uncertainties are properly propagated through the analysis (also those techniques are well established) the average is meaningful.

I prefer to keep things simple. There is tropical, temperate and arctic. Then land and it's terrain or even the lack of land can influence the weather just as ocean currents and trade winds have an influence.
An example of this is the slowing of the Gulf Stream and Europe becoming warmer during the summer. It's an observable trend. Things do lend themselves more to an astronomical and astrophysical causation. A pattern has been suggested to the long term patterns (hundreds of years) as to such causation being a significant contributor to episodic warming and cooling periods.
With the Gulf Stream, it is known that tectonic plate rebound causes the arctic to rise while, say latitude of England sinks. This would influence the North Atlantic Current flowing into the Arctic as well as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Basically water from the arctic is moving further south to maintain sea levels. And I would say that what set this in motion is found in astronomy.
With regional variation, Seattle, Wa. shows this because of how different it's regional climate is when compared to Spokane, Wa. In the summer, the Cascades dries out the air so eastern Washington has much drier air, ie., less rainfall. Then in the winter, the polar jet stream helps to pull warm moist air north which then moves into eastern Washington from Canada.
Jet streams help to separate the 3 basic climatic regions from one another. This in a way shows a change in incoming solar IR and air circulation.

Climate is not quantifiable... There is no such thing as "less climate" or "more climate" or an "increase in climate". There is simply "climate", such as "desert climate", "marine climate", "polar climate"...

Averaging, and a few other mathemagic tricks are fine to fill in a few small gaps in data. It's not fine, to use mathemagic to create the majority of the data points.

The need for super-computers, should be a strong indicator, that the data is suspicious, at best, if not completely bogus.

The margin of error grows with each manipulation, and every estimated data point added.

WRONG. Words are defined by people, not dictionaries. There is no other authority. Justifying redefinitions and undefinitions of words is what you are trying to do here. You are also trying to justify buzzwords as having an actual meaning.

A hypothesis does not have observations. A hypothesis is not a theory. A hypothesis does not use evidence. It needs nothing to support it. Example: the null hypothesis of a theory.
DRKTS wrote:

WRONG. Viability of a theory is inherent in the theory itself. A theory of science requires tests designed to destroy a theory (the test is against the null hypothesis of a theory). It must be available, practical, specific, and produce a specific result. If the theory survives, it is automatically a theory of science.
Theories that are not testable in this way remain nonscientific theories, and the circular arguments they began as.
DRKTS wrote:

From when to when? Why are those two points in time significant? Why are any other two points in time NOT significant? Why is any particular period of time significant? Why is any other period of time NOT signifcant?
DRKTS wrote:

There are no parameters in 'climate'. 'Climate' is a subjective word, describing subjective things, such as a 'desert climate' or a 'marine climate'. There is no 'global climate'. Earth is made up of many climates.

So the time is undefined. Sorry, you can't define a word using undefined words.

Irrelevant. Averaging by itself is meaningless. Statistical summaries require not only the average, but also the margin of error value, the declaration of variances and their justifications, the use of raw data only, the publication of that data, and the selection from that raw data by randN. The normalization of the selections by paired randR, and THEN and only then can you average anything. Remember the margin of error value must also accompany the summary, or the average is meaningless.

You seem to be confusing tolerance with margin of error. This is common, especially with liberals trying to deny statistical mathematics to justify their religion. Mantra 10g.

Denial of mathematics. Semantics fallacies. False authorities.

You are not allowed to add 'estimated data points' to data in statistical mathematics. This is just adding random numbers of type randU to the data, invalidating it.

Nope. You are a fraud. Science cares nothing for supporting evidence. Start dropping things and gather lots of corroborating evidence for gravity and see who cares.

Science cares only about falsifying evidence. Find just one example whereby E does not equal m*c^2 and you will become famous.

Everybody even remotely affiliated with science knows this. You, on the other hand, are clearly scientifically illiterate.

DRKTS wrote: In other words is in science, a theory has been tested and found to be viable.

Nope. In science, a theory is a falsifiable model that predicts nature, but until it passes the scrutiny of the scientific method, it is not a Jedi yet! Once it survives the battery of the scientific method, a falsifiable model ascends to the rank of science.

DRKTS wrote: "Climate" in the scientific context means the weather at a defined location averaged over a defined period of time (usually decades) in a specified parameter.

Nope. I checked all of science and there is no science that either recognizes or supports this. Of course, since you are scientifically illiterate, you can't possibly know this.

DRKTS wrote: It can be narrowed further by specifying a specific time period (such as a day, month, or season).

"It" cannot be "narrowed" until "It" is unambiguously defined, something you have never even attempted despite having ample opportunity and virtually unlimited time. It's almost as if you are simply preaching some freaky cult religion or something.

DRKTS wrote: It can be broadened from a specific location to include the averages taken over a county, state, country, continent, or planet.

It's like "It" is some sort of deity that watches over the planet and all life on earth.

Wait, where have I heard something like that?

From The MANUAL:

Climate: proper noun
The heroine of the Global Warming mythology,Climate is the Democratic People's Goddess. Born out of the Scientific Consensus, She oversees the central planning and administration of all weather, ecosystems, and local climates across the globe, as well as all interactions thereof. Climate is responsible for the care and well-being of all life on earth. In other faiths She is called Gaia, Durga, Mother Nature, et. al.

Note: Climate, by her nature, never changes but she is believed to be constantly changing, thus forming the grand mystery of the Global Warming faith. This is a core tenet of Settled Science.



DRKTS wrote:So you could have the average rainfall in the month of May in Maine over the last 50 years.

I don't believe anyone is questioning the infinite mathematical calculations that can be performed on numbers stemming from measured weather parameters. The question remains: Which calculation yields Climate?

i.e. Climate = [ what? ]

Could you just answer that one question before you go on to anything else. It would sure help to make sense out of the current gibberish that you are using to waste this site's bandwidth.

Dictionaries are one thing, the people who speak the language, something else.
I remember in junior high school letting my American classmates copy my paper. They had no interest in learning Engleske. They could play with words but you had to be in their specific social group which was social studies to understand what they were saying.
Those are 2 different things and yet universities do not link social studies and linguistics.
The video is an example of a Rock/pop song expressed differently from a different cultural perspective.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbhjEDH4pIk

And in the original version, he's singing to a little girl;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCTBuOheUpE

Is he a pedophile or is that how he sees his girlfriend? At least with the first link, it's a college frat party getting crashed. All adults


So what do the words mean? Context matters. Someone pursuing an education might not want to go "Goth" while a little girl or a woman perceived as a little girl might not like grown or dominating men.
It's all the same words but from the perspective of the female, they can have very different meanings. BTW, ITN invited me to a cook out. He told me that he has some "HOT" Oscar Mayer wieners just waiting to be tasted. What does he mean? And what is an "Oscar Mayer" wiener? There is no unambiguous definition.
With that said, unless a specific context is given, words have no meaning because it is in the way and with the intent that they are used that defines them. So the only thing that can be defined unambiguously is the word unambiguous. A singular definition. All other words, sayings and phrases have multiple definitions because some people at some point in time learned to speak more than one language or to understand more than one custom.

See IBDM? Understanding economic depression before it happens is easier than figuring out the previous post. And for my post previous to it, only those within a group truly understand the dialogue/communications of that group. This in a way is why moving from one part of the US to another can be problematic.
It is the perception of that which is perceived which matters most. It is how something is inferred that matters and not how it is intoned.
And this is why words,expressions and sayings have multiple meanings. The Tower of Babel is the reason given for no ambiguous meanings except for the word ambiguous itself. The exception to the rule if you will.

Math is simple a tool, something primates are really good at making and using. Most tools have a multitude of possible uses. Climate change, has a lot in common with building a perpetual motion machine, or 'free energy' device. Hard to tell if the goal is sincere, or a fraud, either way, the device is a failure. The tools are used, to build something that just is not possible.

You can have higher or lower temperatures, humidity, and rainfall - each quantifiable - degrees, %, and mm, respectively.

You can have stronger or weaker winds - quantifiable by kph - and the prevailing wind direction can change - quantifiable by an angle.

All of these can be measured over time and if the average shifts then the climate has changed by a measurable amount.

Do all deserts have the same climate? No.
Do all areas of the ocean have the same climate? No.
Do all polar areas have the same climate? No.

Each is different, how do we know because we measure the average conditions there. So its quantifiable.

Averaging is not a trick but a defined statistical procedure.

Who is creating "the majority of data points"? Refernce please.

The need for a supercomputer is merely a function of the quantity and precision of the data. The need to do Monte Carlo analysis - thousands of them - on billions of measurements requires a supercomputer to do it in a reasonable time.

NOAA and other groips usually take two weeks to gather the data, calibrate it, intercalibrate it, alias bad measurements, and regrid the data on to a uniform map distribution on a globe (a complex spherical trigonometry problem).

You seem to think this can be done with an abacus.

Errors are propagated through the same process so the uncertainty on th e measurement is known at every stage.

Indeed, but none of those things are climate. Rather, they (in combination with other atmospheric measures) make up what we call 'weather'. While not quantifiable in and of itself ("more weather"?, "less weather"?, "increase in weather"?, etc...), weather is indeed made up of quantifiable elements, such as temperature, humidity, rainfall, etc...

There is no end to the assurances of existence from people selling things but anything you might get is guaranteed to be vague and blurry.

The fiction, is in trying to change a small, local variable, into something that applies on a global scale. It's 92 F and sunny, in Central Florida. That isn't the same, for the entire planet. Not to mention, it would be an extremely rare event in some places on the planet. You can create numbers and terms to describe anything you can imagine. And that is all it's ever going to be, imagination, a fiction. Those terms and numbers don't actually have any use or value. What good is declaring a global average temperature, if that temperature rarely, if ever applies to the place where you live?

Consider the average global speed on the roadways, is 38 MPH. Does that really matter? It doesn't spare you a ticket, in a school zone, or many residential areas. Probably get you into trouble on the interstate. You can't, or usually wouldn't drive the average global speed. Global warming is the same way. You can declare it, but it doesn't actually apply to anything useful, or even real, it's pure fiction.

A lot of popular science fiction books and movies, were actual loosely inspired by actual science. Imagination can be a great thing most of the time. We have quite a few technological advances, inspired by fiction of the past.

I'd just like to point out to everyone that this is the official Climate Scientist data fudging process. None of this is acceptable in science. You analyze the data, you don't craft something out of it.

In science, any raw data that is modified is discarded along with any derived conclusions. The raw data must be published unaltered with the conclusions.

DRATS is a fraud. He clearly knows nothing of science.

Of course, we shouldn't expect much else from a self-loathing Marxist who cheers on his fellow BLM thugs into shooting a young woman for saying "All Lives Matter," leaving her 3-year-old son without a mother.
