thereby predicted. This is the application of analytical
reductionist thinking to a dynamic holistic problem. This is the
idea behind climate analysis. Its fundamental weaknesses lie in

the accuracy of data, the correctness of algorithms and the
presumptions about relationships. All these are subject to
inaccuracy, partial completeness, poor insights, and even

corrupt intentions if the intention is to subvert the model to
make a political or predetermined argument. At the end of the
day, it could be argued that the great advantage of computer
modeling is that it forces the analyst to think through the

parameters of the reality being modeled.
