uncertainty in this figure, and until
much more research is done no serious scientist should express any confidence in such estimates,» of iron fertilization's geoengineering potential, cautions oceanographer Richard Lampitt of the National Oceanography Center in England, who also argues that more research into such potential geoengineering techniques is needed
due to the failure of global efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
Much of this
uncertainty is
due to the complexity of aerosols and their interactions with and impacts on cloud processes and properties, as well as the wide range of scales on which these interactions occur.

uncertainty of models that project future trends of Arctic Ocean acidification is
due to inadequate data coverage, particularly in higher latitudes.
But the bias
uncertainty is smaller than the errors which are not persistent in time (e.g.
due to incomplete spatial coverage), so I don't think accounting for this would make
much difference, as Victor suggests.
We ultimately face a question of what we trust more: our estimate of our cumulative emissions to date combined with our full knowledge of how
much warming that might imply, or an estimate of how warm the system was in 2014 which is subject to error
due to observational
uncertainty and natural variability.

due to scientific
uncertainty, when in fact

He also presented evidence that
much of the discrepancy was
due to observational
uncertainty, resulting from stratospheric cooling contaminating satellite measurements of tropospheric temperature (a point that's been noted by the NOAA satellite analysis team since at least 2004; see: «Contribution of stratospheric cooling to satellite - inferred tropospheric temperature trends»).
The aim of this project is to examine
much more exhaustively than has previously been possible the climate
uncertainties due to
uncertainties in how to model land surface effects.
I have it straight from the Horses mouth that the historic temperature record is not given

In that case the mean (or median) Anthro contribution may be as little as 100 %, but may be as
much as 116 %, with the additional
uncertainty due to rounding error.
Another issue is whether we have estimated the totality of
uncertainty in the long - term data set used — maybe the envelope is really
much larger,
due to inherent characteristics of the proxy data themselves....
These feedbacks are the primary source of
uncertainty in how
much the earth will warm (side note: the question that most climate scientists who study the forcing
due to CO2 try to answer is, how
much will the long - term globally averaged surface temperature of the earth rise
due to an rapid rise of CO2 to twice its industrial level, that is, 270 ppm to 540 ppm; it is currently about 380 last time I checked, and rising at ~ 3ppm / year, although this rate of change appears to be accelerating).
One can also observe that sulfate production has not fallen that
much,
due to new contributions from China and India and other developing nations (interestingly, early drafts of the fourth IPCC report hypothesized that sulfate production may not have decreased at all from its peak,
due to
uncertainties in Asian production).
