The authors note that their conclusions contrast strongly with those of recent publications based on essentially the same data.[79] A 2008 paper published by a 17-member team led by Ben Santer of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory noted serious mathematical flaws in the Douglass study, and found instead that deviations between the models and observations were statistically insignificant.[80]"

Simple enough?

The problem with math is that nature doesn't know how to do it.

No link to this report? You have to provide a proof which is published in a peer reviewed article, not Wiki. That is not proof. Of course, then we must question the motives of people who are employed by the government, and ask if they are climatologists. Because then what they think doesn't matter according to Bugs.

You're pulling my leg, right. In my initial response I link you to the report; then you say you want a layman's version and no you post that there is no link???? Click on the first link
UnF'''believable!!

Look up gravity.
check out probability and heredity
read up on quantum mechanics.
What's your weather report for today?
I could go on but you probably still wouldn;t get it.

Math is the language of nature and is used in every predictive model in science. It's how we predict everything with the accuracy we do, from trajectories of satellites to making the computer you're typing on work.

Why?? You think the weather can be predicted using math?
The weather can change in no time. they can't even predict what it is going to do from day to day. My weather report said 59 and rain it is 66 and not raining.

We predict weather on large scales extraordinarily effectively given its complexity. Small scale changes need not even be considered.
