I was just wondering how many of us on usw are running the 'Climate

hopefully the latest one I built should be able to cope easily. The
temperature of my processor on this machine went from 33°c to 45°c, on
my old one it ran at 60°c + at times.

One of the things that slightly concerns me is that by running this
climate prediction software (if I can, I don't know if there's a Linux
version) I am also contributing by increasing my energy demands. My
processor draws about 6 times more power when it is busy than when it is
idle.

Even if you were to model weather by banging 3 times on a rock, you'd
still be

1. expending energy as heat
2. exhaling greenhouse gases

and btw there is a linux version
