Then there's Schmidt's
presentation on climate modeling at this year's TED conference, which took place in Vancouver in February:
My RS
presentation on climate models provides my thoughts on what this would look like, with a greater emphasis on the historical and paleo data record and climate models used to develop and assess likelihood of a much broader range of future climate scenarios.

on deepening inequality, the evidence for dangerous
climate change, population trends, urban problems, new economic
models and more.

John,
On the «
Presentation: Precautionary Principle...» thread you told me that you think it's «unhelpful to conflate discussion of
climate - science issues like the
modelling of SO2, about which none of us here know very much, with discussion of economic projections, where we can have a useful discussion.»
The author's points
on non-linearity and time delays are actually more relevant to the discussion in other
presentations when I talked about whether the
climate models that show high future sensitivities to CO2 are consistent with past history, particularly if warming in the surface temperature record is exaggerated by urban biases.
by Judith Curry This post discusses Workshop
presentations on the utility of
climate models for regional adaptation decisions.
I won't repeat what I said
on an earlier forum, but a quick look at Paul Williams»
presentation on numerical errors in
climate modeling shows a host of issues that would lead me to assign a rather high uncertainty to the
model results, and then we have the uncertainties in the physical
models themselves.
The take - home message — that
climate models were
on the verge of failure (basically the opposite of the Post headline)-- is self - evident in Figure 1, adapted from our
presentation.
The failure to imagine future extreme events and
climate scenarios, other than those that are driven by CO2 emissions and simulated by deficient
climate models, has the potential to increase our vulnerability to future
climate surprises (see my recent
presentation on this Generating possibility distributions of scenarios for regional
climate change).
For this skeptic, the heart of your
presentation is the slide
on «rising discomfort with
climate models».
