How ironic, because the proof is in the pudding...at least as far as "Mathew" and you are concerned.
And btw I did say that the programmers who wrote the software for these models do use the exponential function for T, because they do know their math !
But you claimed that when they run them, the temperatures fly through the roof and their solution is to replace these polynomials with linear averages. How do you know this?
Then again these guys are not "climatologists".... which in fact don`t know much about calculus.
I'm not certain who you're talking about. My degree is in ocean engineering. I took three semesters of calculus, two of differential equations, one of mathematical physics and one of advanced matrix methods. I aced them all, but that was in 1982-84.
I'm pretty sure that everyone you might call a climatologist, has passed calculus and differential equations. As a matter of fact, I would bet money that the average intelligence and education level of anyone doing active climate research is above you and me and everyone else on this board by a significant margin. Don't be thinking like FCT and SwimCoach, that they're all dummies and that you're smarter and the missing ingredient in all their calculations just HAPPENS to be whatever topic it is you know best.
