Different individuals will have different ways of valuing uncertainty in models etc, and this will reflect the results of these kinds of studies.

There are two classes of uncertainty in models — one is the systematic bias in any particular metric due to a misrepresentation of the physics etc, the other is uncertainty related to weather (the noise).

It would also easily give a good intuitive feel for the uncertainties in the model.

The models don't by any means capture the uncertainty in their forecasts, and their are a large number of other sources of uncertainty in the models used to forecast emissions from concentrations).

In fact it is the opposite — Hansen is actually claiming that the uncertainty in models (for instance, in the climate sensitivity) is now less than the uncertainty in the emissions scenarios (i.e. it is the uncertainty in the forcings, that drives the uncertainty in the projections).

I was wondering for some time now, how much the findings of the work of scientists, be it the IPCC, be it the PIK in Potsdam or what have you, can be taken for granted in order for policy makers to make valuable decisions (e.g. cutting carbon emissions by half by 2050) and if the uncertainties in the models might outweigh certain decisions to reduce carbon emissions so that in the end it might happen that these uncertainties make these decisions obsolete, because they do not suffice to avoid «dangerous climate change»?

The fact that there are uncertainties in the models does not discredit their predictions — it just means we have to weight their predictions with those uncertainties.

The people giving presentations, who know ice as well as anyone, made a clear case not only that we have little understanding of ice dynamics, but that (as one of them put it) the main sources of uncertainty in the models are all in the direction of underestimation of the sensitivity of ice sheets to a temperature rise.

We can derive the underlying trend related to external forcings from the GCMs — for each model, the underlying trend can be derived from the ensemble mean (averaging over the different phases of ENSO in each simulation), and looking at the spread in the ensemble mean trend across models gives information about the uncertainties in the model response (the «structural» uncertainty) and also about the forcing uncertainty — since models will (in practice) have slightly different realisations of the (uncertain) net forcing (principally related to aerosols).

Here, I think the basic disagreement between Pat Frank and the reviewers is that the reviewers want to treat the value of 4W / m ^ 2 as though it is really accurately known from considerations outside the modeling effort itself, and Pat Frank wants to show how much uncertainty in the modeling results is added when it is treated as any other poorly known parameter..

You claim that what you're doing shows the effect of cloud forcing uncertainty in the models, but if those results are plainly not really representative of what would happen in the models, then there's a disconnect.

If the uncertainties in the models are large enough to make the A and B scenarios still unfalsified then the C scenario is also unfalsified.

The uncertainties in the models, theory, and observations of climate change and associated risks and the sheer complexity of the problem provide many rounds of ammunition for the agenda - driven, be they apocalyptic or denialist.

Huybers (2010) showed that the treatment of clouds was the «principal source of uncertainty in models».

Improving the scientific understanding of all climate feedbacks is critical to reducing the uncertainty in modeling the consequences of doubling the CO2 - equivalent concentration.

As IPCC, in a search for objectivity in uncertainty assessment, has turned more to describing uncertainty in terms of the characteristics of ensembles of model outcomes, the deficiency in such an approach (its exclusion or limited treatment of systemic, structural uncertainty in models) has become increasingly apparent to the community (Winsberg 2010; Knutti et al. 2008; Goldstein and Rougier 2009).

At the moment, the uncertainties in modeling and complexities of the ocean system even prevent any quantification of how much of the present changes in the oceans is being caused by anthropogenic climate change or natural climate variability, and how much by other human activities such as fishing, pollution, etc..
