Eli meant to behave but there were way too many options.

Eli Rabett
Eli Rabett, a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny who finally handed in the keys and retired from his wanna be research university. The students continue to be naive but great people and the administrators continue to vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional without Eli's help. Eli notices from recent political developments that this behavior is not limited to administrators. His colleagues retain their curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they, or at least some of them occasionally heeded his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

That's a "First" course in climate physics?
Yikes.
Well, usually you have first had the calculus, general chemistry and a few physics courses:). That or you stayed overnight at Climate Audit Express.
And please don't tell me that string theory is a prerequisite for understanding Pierrehumbert's book on climate!
If "Climate science" were like "String science", we would not need to worry about a warming earth because we would never be able to determine that it is indeed warming.
This does make me wonder, however: When is Motl coming out with his "First course in String Theory"?
God knows, we have all been waiting with baited breath.
Whatever else is true. I am quite certain it will be a "weighty" tome:
How many pages do you suppose are required at a minimum to describe 10^500 different possible universes?
"please don't tell me that string theory is a prerequisite for understanding Pierrehumbert's book on climate!"
String theory is not a prerequisite for understanding anything -- at least not about the real world.
