[QUOTE="Allen, post: 198877, member: 389"] This guy "learned" while he was in college. Back in the 90s while I was at UND we would get the occasional "climate change" modeling expert. I was the jerk in the audience back then who would always ask how they handled the solar output. It never failed, they always would say that it was a "constant". Well, it's not. Never has been...and only will be a constant once the sun gets extinguished. Of course, nowadays they actually use a variable in the models when it comes to the Solar Constant, but the author of this letter knows that you have to understand the inputs in order to get a grasp on how the model arrives at a value. All models are is a series of mathematical equations being solved by a computer. Rarely do they use equations that have math errors, the errors all come in the form of data and assumptions. Hence the term, GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out). [/QUOTE]
