However, the company suggested that its equipment offered more detail, providing a useful tool for climate model scientists.
Of course climate model projections are fatally compromised from the get-go when based upon poor global temperature records.

No climate model has predicted a complete shutdown during this century, though many suggest that a slowdown is possible.
Apparently Mr. Taylor thinks he can cherry pick climate model results in the same way he cherry picks climate data.

They tried to reproduce the observed changes in a computer-based climate model.
The IPCC relied on a combination of studies, some making determinations based on historical data, others basing their results on climate model output.
James Inhofe's Committee on Environment and Public Works, and more than 30, 000 who signed a petition challenging the relevance of climate model predictions cited by the U.N.
And the benefits, when estimated using a standard climate model, will reduce temperature only by an immeasurable one-tenth of a degree Fahrenheit by the end of the century.
In research that Wolfram Schlenker and I have conducted using the Hadley III climate model, we project yield declines of about 20% over the next 20 years, holding all else the same.
CNN: Extreme heat and droughts -- a recipe for world food woes
When the effects are calculated in a standard climate model, the result is a reduction in average temperature of 0.00005oC (one twenty-thousandth of a degree Celsius, or one ten-thousandth of a degree Fahrenheit).
Vertex labs are packed with workstations that tap 112 Pentium chips in parallel, capable of crunching 110 gigaflops per second, roughly the same computing power used to produce the National Weather Service's two-week global climate model.
Considering that, a few years ago, it was rare to get the computer time needed to do even a single geoengineering simulation with a state-of-the-art climate model, this investment of time and effort marks a big step forward.
These findings have now been complemented by Dr Knight's project, which made use of climateprediction.net, a network of personal computers on which processing time is volunteered by members of the public, to compile 57, 000 different runs of a global-climate model developed at the Hadley Centre.
For example, significant cooling and strong dynamical effects after the Laki event and other high-latitude eruptions are believed to have caused decreased flow of the Nile River in Egypt and weakened African and Asian monsoons based on climate model simulations, with potentially very significant impacts on food and water supplies.
The third article cited by Nasibu contains nothing more than self-serving UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change model predictions (as opposed to empirical evidence) that global warming will dry up much of Africa.
FORBES: Despite What You Hear, Global Warming Is Still Benefiting Africa
They developed a climate computer model for the archipelago that was based on a mid-range temperature projection being used for a big upcoming UN global-climate report - the 5th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The system will also be used to model climate change and potential strategies to mitigate its consequences.
FORBES: Cray Claims The Fastest Supercomputing Crown With The NVIDIA-Powered Titan
One more thing on this point: the Stern Review, the most detailed model, the most detailed modelling exercise anyone has undertaken, of the effects of climate change is based upon that A2 model.
Unlike the current IPCC models, the astronomical harmonics model can have real climate forecasting value.
FORBES: Global Warming? No, Natural, Predictable Climate Change
For example, in estimating how much warming is expected, the most recent report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change uses three methods, two based entirely on model simulations.
WSJ: Matt Ridley on Confirmation Bias and Global Warming | Mind & Matter
When I rode in the Model S last fall the seamless integration of the climate control, radio, navigation and phone made for an intuitive, hassle-free driving experience.
FORBES: Tesla Model S Owner: It's Better Than An Aston Martin
Views on things like climate change, war and peace, the present capitalist economic model and poverty would all be welcome contributions to the public discourse, rather than lectures on gay marriage.
CNN: Why next pope must open up church and usher in Vatican III
At one end, Thomas Stocker, current co-chair of the IPCC working group on climate science, contended that little was wrong with the existing basic model.
Pick a model with sizable knobs and buttons for the audio and climate control systems along with power-operated mirrors to help reduce the amount of grip strength needed and reduce pain associated with turning or twisting motions.
Whether policy experts believe that Mauricio Funes and the FMLN will do their best to follow the Chavez model or they accept Funes as a moderate, the political climate in El Salvador does not lend itself to a strong leftward shift.
CENTERFORSECURITYPOLICY: What to expect from the new FMLN government in El Salvador
By feeding into his model both some recent science on the increased risks of dramatic climate change, and the possibility of such catastrophes as a rise in sea level big enough to flood London and New York, he calculates that the range of possible outcomes lies somewhere between 5% and 20% of global output over the next century or two.
She and her colleagues found that 80% of the variation in the climate sensitivity predicted was due to changes in how clouds were described in the model.
Throughout the IYB steady progress was made towards the establishment of an Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) on the model of the IPCC, pivotal in assessing the science and raising global awareness of climate change.
Its pledge to the UN climate convention (UNFCCC) under the Copenhagen Accords in 2009 even cites the US as a model: by 2020, to cut emissions from 2005 levels by "17%, to be aligned with the final economy-wide emissions target of the United States in enacted legislation".
Early attempts to model this process on computers could not get enough of the heat through to explain the changes in climate.
