Addressing these three broad
areas of climate change research in reverse order: -(3) The anthropogenic origin
of the rise in atmospheric CO2 levels is questioned because the levels
of uncertainty of the size
of natural fluxes within the carbon cycle are seen as too
large for such a conclusion to be made.
The
uncertainty in the absolute temperature is also determined to a
large part by a stable deviation between the mean temperature at the station and the mean temperature
of area it is supposed to be representative for.
The selected air - sample measurements themselves have negligible
uncertainty and are representative
of large areas.

The politicization
of climate science (due in part to having Gore as the public face for so long) is one
of the primary reasons why there is so great public doubt even over the basics (leaving out
areas like sensitivity where there are
large and real scientific
uncertainties).
Although most
large glaciated
areas of the state are regularly measured observationally, extrapolation to unmeasured
areas carries
uncertainties due to
large spatial variability.
Another important

The limited ability
of sparse networks to capture spatial variability and the resultant
larger uncertainty in
large -

David Appell, The
areas of largest uncertainty in the models is in cloud influences / feedbacks.
My gut feeling, speaking as a chemical engineer (and heat transfer is a core chemical engineering
area), is that the
uncertainty for thermal inertia is not that
large, it ought to depend mainly on the speed
of temperature rise and be estimatable based on the temperature rise history to date (if you do doubt that, I am sure Coby, you or me can do some digging to clear that up).
