Isn’t
climate science filled with uncertainties?
§No, not really.
§The foundations are very solid and based on reliable
math, physics, and
chemistry.
§Virtually unanimous agreement among thousands of climate
scientists that warming is
happening.
§Most of the “uncertainty” comes from our inability to
predict what people and
governments will do in the future.
§So we create scenarios.
§If governments let CO2 double, then we
expect this…
§If CO2 triples, then we expect this…
§This creates a range of results.
§Remaining uncertainties are matters of precision.
§Will it rain more in your backyard or mine?
§Exactly how much will it warm here versus there.
