Team democraticunderground.com is now #640 on the top teams
list at climateprediction.net. The next trickle should kick us up to the 630s. At this pace, we should make it to the high 500s in another week or so.

Here’s a little more on climateprediction.net for the uninitiated:

What is climateprediction.net?
Climateprediction.net is the largest experiment to try and produce a forecast of the climate in the 21st century. To do this, we need people around the world to give us time on their computers - time when they have their computers switched on, but are not using them to their full capacity.

Why?
Climate change, and our response to it, are issues of global importance, affecting food production, water resources, ecosystems, energy demand, insurance costs and much else. There is a broad scientific consensus that the Earth will probably warm over the coming century; climateprediction.net should, for the first time, tell us what is most likely to happen.

What do we want you to do?
You can download a climate model from this website. It will run automatically as a background process on your computer whenever you switch your computer on. It should not affect any other tasks you use your computer for. As the model runs, you can watch the weather patterns on your, unique, version of the world evolve. The results are sent back to us via the internet, and you will be able to see a summary of your results on this web site.

Would love to have other DUers join us. . . .

I suppose I am more of a reader than a writer. I will try to do better in the future :-)
