Yes. Thank you for the report.

We need to figure out how to get a handle on the climate, whether
anthropogenic forcing, or natural excursions (they contributed
to collapse of many ancient and not-so-ancient high cultures).
The longer we wait, the more muscle it will take, in case there's
a runaway there might be not enough muscle. I wondering whether
the Earth simulator was built for that specific reason.

The nice part about the digital stuff is that you can do logs,
and run a statistics analysis on it. It would be really nice to 
build a solar-powered waterproof weather station with WiFi, which
links up to the Internet. That way you can get very fine mesh
resolution for weather models, albeit admittedly mostly in urban
areas.
