  • How Does An Extreme Weather Predictor Do Over 500Million Years?

    The test: can the same model handle not just 30 days or 30 years, but 500 million years? I ran it. Deep-time pie: faint young Sun, LIP COโ‚‚ pulses, continental drift approximations. No tuning .Just the physics. Result: it tracks the big swings. Hothouse โ†’ icehouse โ†’ hothouse. Permian, Cretaceous, Eocene โ€” the extremes match…

  • How To Turn Blind Hindcasts Into Predictive Power.

    I stopped focussing on Scotland and ran the core model blind on extreme events worldwide (withheld 1900โ€“2025 data): Every time the model missed or deviated, I asked:โ€œWhatโ€™s the real-world thing itโ€™s ignoring?โ€ And the answers were always physical, local, and obvious once you looked: Like the giant Volcano in the Pacific North West. Each miss…

  • How Answering 1 Problem Snowballed

    But then came the moment that changed everything. I flipped the signs. I took the exact same seven drivers, inverted the polarity (negative NAO became positive, weak vortex became strong, descending solar became ascending, etc.), and ran it on extreme hot, dry UK summers (CET โ‰ฅ18.5 ยฐC + England & Wales rain โ‰ค120 mm Junโ€“Aug).17…

  • How A Broken 4×4 Led To Building A Climate Model

    So, my wife was nagging me about getting her 4×4 back on the road for the upcoming winter. Of course, I really did not fancy doing a full top end rebuild, so I decided to try and work out whether I actually needed to. In recent years Scotland has had many mild winters in the…
