I agree the comparison of human and processor computational power is slightly flawed. That said from my breif contact with genetic programming I know that computational power is a very important factor in the quality of it's results. Super computers have already generated circuit designs that outstrip the best created by humans, (if I have time I'll find a link to the papers), inaccurate as the predictions made in the presentation may be I would be interested to see what sort of designs are produced as technology improves.

The global warming bandwagon is beginning to resemble a religion.

Rubbish. Denial of global warming, however, is exactly like a religion. It is the willful ignorance of evidence to avoid a truth that you would rather wasnt quite so true. As with religion, an intollerance to this mental cowardice is the only way forward. Watch the film, I dare you.
