you are the SITE ADMIN.
A good SITE ADMIN has two tasks:
-Neutrality
-Suppression of insults and rowdiness
You don't do both of them. Instead you comment thermodynamic models without understanding a tiny bit of them.
Tanada might not, but I certainly do. Have been asked to comment on them professionally, when one makes it to the level of needing an expert to explain to the less initiated how the net energy game is played. Tanada treats the ridiculous nonsense put out by Short with far more grace then it deserves.

But some of us do. Some of us even have pointed out why years before Shorty called oil prices wrong, and mangled his "science" (it has been published since last I stopped in, or after it was laughed out of peer review did it continue to just be some nonsense Short still wants to sell to the gullible).
Baduila wrote:If you don't know: Scientific models are invalidated by reality, not by likings.
Those of us with extensive publications to their credit know this. You and Short do not, and last I heard Short couldn't even get his through review. Sounds like science doing its job...politely declining things that really aren't.

And that is why Short didn't pay off his bet on the accuracy of his spurious relationship? Do tell!
