Bigger supercomputers for climate models increase the error bar by compounding modeling errors at a faster rate – and give the end user a false sense of security that they are doing something useful.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

It means you get a bigger pile of Garbage faster. GIGO, GIGO, Long live GIGO! The true ruler of the IPCC Glee Club!
Time for a new term. MegaGarbage or is it PetaGarbage
Peta Garbage!
APGCC brought to you by MET, GISS, UEA, NOAA, and lots of other scrambled letter groups!
Anthropogenic Peta Garbage Climate Change!
Mega was passed with IPCC SAR! TAR took it to Tera and to produce AR4 they needed Peta to cover all bases!
What is next? Gigamongous!
Its like using a weight forward line: It allows you to throw your mistakes farther.

Sorry for the ignorance but?????
It’s “the answer to life, the universe, and everything” (according to Douglas Adams’ “The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Universe”).
Google is my friend and I found the answer! 🙂
Oh, and the relevance is that the answer to the most fundamental question of all was arrived at after many centuries of deliberation by a supercomputer called “Deep Thought”. Only when it did, no one understood it.
Beautiful
Eventually they will want a computer so powerful that it can keep track of every particle of matter involved in the phenomena of weather and climate on earth. But, even when they get it, it will make no difference, because their assumptions about how those various particles interact will still be garbage.
