That doesn’t really help either Bob... 😁
I look at it this way. My modeling colleagues use various models to predict beach erosion in a storm. Now as the guy that measures the changes in morphology and processes during the storm, I tend to not agree with the predictions, of exactly how much, how fast and where the sand will move around.
However, when three or more of their models, using different assumptions and past data to train the model, all show erosion of a value pretty close to the measured, but off by a bit, it isn’t fair to just dismiss the models outright.
It is a real issue. I think it is incredible hubris to look at the planet right now, and think we haven’t had an impact. burning fossil fuels has altered the chemistry of the atmosphere in a way that traps more outgoing solar radiation and warms the planet. We need to be proactive and start thinking more about it. I wish they were wrong, particularly on sea level rise, but it just doesn’t seem to be the case.....
