The new CoPo computer system was way late and around $20,000,000 over budget, but that didn't stop Portland City Council members from unanimously approving a resolution congratulating city employees and contractors for switching to a new computer system. According to the liars currently residing in CoPo City Council, the $28,000,000 system only ended up costing $48,000,000. Of course, that doesn't include "consulting fees" and other inconsequential items that likely put the true cost north of $50,000,000.
Wonder how "green" that system is? After all, CoPo loves to tout their "green-ness". No numbers are available as yet. However, there is ample evidence that switching to higher-powered computer systems ain't neccessarily all that "green".
An alert reader sent along a link to the (formerly) Great Britain's computer upgrade, which now ranks as the most significant source of "pollution" currently operating in the once-great country. Ironically, its function is focused upon churning out predictions of the dire consequences of "climate change" (which used to be referred to as "global warming" until the adherents of the religion realized that the planetary climate is not behaving in accordance with their dire prophesies).
Even more ironically, the CO2-spewing supercomputer tends to predict exactly what it was programmed to predict. It is the second time the Met Office has been criticised this year -
after the machine famously helped predict a "BBQ summer" which turned out to be another wash-out.
Even with supercomputer modeling, they can't get the weather right for a month, or a year - let alone for the next century. The Farmers' Almanac has a better track record, but your government want to take away more of your money and more of your freedoms because computer models say it's a good idea.
They don't understand a fundamental precept when it comes to working with computers: GIGO.
