Earth project aims to 'simulate everything'

From BBC.News.uk (Dec. 27, 2010):

An international group of scientists are aiming to create a simulator that can replicate everything happening on Earth - from global weather patterns and the spread of diseases to international financial transactions or congestion on Milton Keynes' roads.

Nicknamed the Living Earth Simulator (LES), the project aims to advance the scientific understanding of what is taking place on the planet, encapsulating the human actions that shape societies and the environmental forces that define the physical world. [read more]

Interesting. But I get nervous when George Soros likes this project. Soros comments:

"The team of scientists that Dr. Helbing has gathered together can, I believe, make a significant contribution to the understanding of the evolution and change in societies as they meet the formidable issues of governance, climate change, sustainable economic balance that we are all faced with in the coming decades."

The UN (or any socialistic leaders) could use this modeling to make economic or political policy. They could justify almost any policy using this project as a defense. Is this LES a precursor to the New World Order?

If this simulator says socialism is a good idea then you know the data going into it is bogus.
