My children are pirates right now. There's a fallen tree in the woods that makes a superb pirate ship, and my children have boarded and captured it. And they are singing pirate songs. Loudly. It is a very good thing that we live so far from other human habitation - if we lived in the 'burbs the…

If only there were some mathematical techniques we could use to investigate questions such as this... I'm sure there would be all sorts of applications. Somebody should look into it.
Dogs are always like that. The thing to do is carabiner them to a washing line. In climate terms, this means ...
I have no idea.
Yeah, but what if the man is drunk?
What if the _dog_ is drunk?
What if there's a lamppost in the way?
You can't simplify these problems beyond credibility.
Cute.
OK, so we posit a sober dog walker.
In general the video/metaphor is great; but it does have a flaw in that its "overlook short term fluctuations" message would discourage attention to (and recognition of) the "wild weather" consequences of climate change - and these will probably turn out to be the most illuminating (for the citizenry) canaries in the coal mine.
