Chaos theory eliminates quantum uncertainty
I don&#x27;t think Palmer has ever published anything on quantum mechanical systems, so this claim seems questionable and might be some kind of ideological viewpoint.  Seems to wander well beyond the author&#x27;s sphere of expertise.<p>Palmer has nevertheless done a lot of interesting work in atmospheric and oceanic systems.  Here&#x27;s one, which also explains why current warming trends would persist for decades even if we halted all fossil fuel use tomorrow, something many seem to not have grasped:<p>&quot;Uncertainty in Weather and Climate Prediction&quot;, Slingo &amp; Palmer (2011)<p>&gt; &quot;In terms of seasonal to decadal prediction, the predictability of the system resides primarily in the oceans, where the greater thermal capacity and the much longer dynamical time scales for adjustment impart a memory to the coupled ocean–atmosphere system, which exceeds that for the atmosphere alone by several orders of magnitude. Nevertheless, the ocean, like the atmosphere, is a chaotic, nonlinear system, and so an ensemble approach to seasonal to decadal prediction is fundamental to forecasting on these time scales also.&quot;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;royalsocietypublishing.org&#x2F;doi&#x2F;full&#x2F;10.1098&#x2F;rsta.2011.0161" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;royalsocietypublishing.org&#x2F;doi&#x2F;full&#x2F;10.1098&#x2F;rsta.201...</a><p>Anyone wanting a solid introduction to the notion of chaos in fluid dynamics should look at work of the original researcher who discovered the phenomenon, Ed Lorenz (1995) The Essence of Chaos.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goodreads.com&#x2F;book&#x2F;show&#x2F;154291.The_Essence_of_Chaos" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goodreads.com&#x2F;book&#x2F;show&#x2F;154291.The_Essence_of_Ch...</a>
