    Excess CO2 Problem Solved by making starch out of CO2?

    It probably can cure the depression problem in Nordic countries too.

    Excess CO2 Problem Solved by making starch out of CO2?

    Scientists reported successful making of starch out of CO2. https://newatlas.com/science/artificial-synthesis-starch-from-co2/ Climate crisis averted?

    Simulation Code for Earth's Historical Temperature Record

    Google it. This is not the subject of what I originally asked for. Maybe you can start a different thread on that.

    Simulation Code for Earth's Historical Temperature Record

    Science is a process, not a set of rules, not a bunch of degrees. Scientists are those who follow this process, and not just some degreed people. We can't rule out the possibility of a layman who follows an impeccable scientific process and arrives at the right solution despite being unaware of...

    And there is also day and night, now is that CO2 again?

    Simulation Code for Earth's Historical Temperature Record

    I think the simple model here is too simple even for me :) https://scied.ucar.edu/activity/very-simple-climate-model-activity Earth's temperature is determined by the sun. We don't get summer and winter because of some CO2, lol. Summer temperatures are significantly higher than the winter...

    Simulation Code for Earth's Historical Temperature Record

    The coupling between weather and climate is in the influence of the former on the absorption and reflection of sunlight, and on the outbound radiation from the earth. All are time and location dependent, but generally in a steady state and a crude spatial grid might be suffice.

    Simulation Code for Earth's Historical Temperature Record

    This is the type of discussion I like to see. Thank you very much. In research, one ignores all physics other than those necessary for solving the problem on hand. For example, a pendulum's period doesn't depend on the electron movement in its various parts. Even air drag can usually be...

    Simulation Code for Earth's Historical Temperature Record

    This field is critical for the survival of mankind, quite unlike stuffs like the string theory. It is only natural, therefore, for anyone to take an interest in this. There are many people like me, I believe. Almost everyone these days "gets a degree, and work for some institutions". But real...

    Simulation Code for Earth's Historical Temperature Record

    Thank you for your suggestions. But my understanding is that anyone can be a player in science, any science. A player, in my definition, is someone who brings new insight into the field by acquiring and analyzing data and playing with models, first hand. I have worked with many first rate...

    Simulation Code for Earth's Historical Temperature Record

    Interesting. I definitely don't want to get into the weather stuff. One will never get out of that rabbit hole.

    Simulation Code for Earth's Historical Temperature Record

    Thanks. Good to know. It would be good to find something between "a day or two" to "lifetime".

    Simulation Code for Earth's Historical Temperature Record

    I am looking for a simulator, not a Saint :)

    Simulation Code for Earth's Historical Temperature Record

    It is what we call a "lumped parameter".
