So you know that mathematical systems (function which describe behavior) can have chaotic or random inputs into the independent variables that drive the system's response right? This is a major thing that is dealt with in seismic design of structures. All earthquake events are entirely random in their periods and magnitudes throughout the entirety of the event, and as a consequence all structures must react to those inputs.

That doesn't mean, that we engineers are unable to design (analyze and model) a structural system which exhibits an expected response, meets design criteria, and is safe. Incidentally, a seismic event typically looks something like this as recorded by accelerometers. That data gets manipulated into something usable for us and resembles something along these lines. After we get that, we then compare it to a design value, which is something like this, and then design our buildings.

Just because you don't understand something, doesn't mean that it is incorrect. Perhaps you should first strive to better yourself by becoming educated on a topic before ignorantly and arrogantly dismissing things out of hand that you have no idea about.

Just because you are an engineer does not make you an expert on climate. Believe whatever you want and leave me to believe what I want. You're sounding an alarm but doing nothing at all to remedy the disaster you say is imminent. This is typical behavior for all the anthropogenic climate change cultists I have run into. The sky is falling but you are still right here on the internet consuming energy and resources while you spew out CO2 and other greenhouse gases because your smug enlightenment and education make you part of the solution not the problem, at least in your delusional mind. You make as much sense as those overpopulation cultists who want to use eugenics to cull the population yet never once volunteer to off themselves to save the planet. Keep on being a hypocrite who thinks everyone else is an idiot because we haven't been brainwashed into your line of thought control. Ignorance is shown not in being skeptical of climate change causes but in the blind acceptance based on an appeal to authority and echo chamber reinforcement. You must be young to think that you know so much and know so much better. If you are not young, well then you need to look your old self in the mirror and realize you are the cause not the solution. Either way you really do need to learn a lot about trying to influence and persuade people to take you and your argument seriously. I know that's hard for you to believe with all that smug clouding your head.

And yet here you are asserting your notions as being valid in-spite of being even less of an expert than I am. Utter arrogance and ignorance.
