In climate science there has been a tension between the drive towards consensus to support policy making versus exploratory speculation and research that pushes forward the knowledge frontier
Climate Change: What’s the Worst Case?
By Judith Curry
My new manuscript is now available.
A link to my new paper ‘Climate Change: What’s the Worst Case?’ is provided here [worst case paper final (1)]
A few words on the intended audience and motivation for writing this:
First and foremost, this is written for the clients of Climate Forecast Applications Network who are interested in scenarios of future climate change [link]
Second, this paper is written as a contribution to my series of academic papers on the topic of uncertainty in climate science:
- Climate Science and the Uncertainty Monster
- Reasoning About Climate Uncertainty
- Nullifying the Climate Null Hypothesis
- Climate Change: No Consensus on Consensus
- Climate Uncertainty and Risk
Third, the paper is written to inform the public debate on climate change and policy makers. I am ever hopeful that some sanity can be interjected into all this.
