We generally expect models to have predictive value, at least through a set of historic data, before we lens them much credence. We have made an exception for climate models. I believe following basic scientific procedures is a better plan than listening to what amounts to a widely-hekd belief structure. It is particularly galling when we could be using time and effort to combat the proven environmental catastrophes such as air and water qualities, deforestation, and issues such as the one that started this thread.
- eloff 5y agoYou know all those climate models are back tested with the historical data too right? Climate modeling is a tricky thing because the system is so complex and we are continually surprised by interactions and effects we didn't expect. However, climate science is about far more than just models. The models are actually the least compelling part.
