I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do, and there's tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact.
Nobody believes a weather prediction twelve hours ahead. Now we're being asked to believe a prediction that goes out 100 years into the future? And make financial investments based on that prediction? Has everybody lost their minds?
Computer models of the climate....[are] a very dubious business if you don't have good inputs.
I am saying that all predictions concerning climate are highly uncertain.
There is no way that we can predict the weather six months ahead beyond giving the seasonal average.
I think we do have cyclic changes in weather, and I think that's been throughout the course of history.
A long summer always meant a long winter to come.
Computer modelling for weather forecasting, and indeed for climate forecasting, has reached its limits.
The weather records of the U.S.A. are the best kept and most accessible in the world, thanks to consistent government/military taxpayer support. There are longer European data sets, but the U.S.A. data is enough to forecast major extreme events.
The Climate Risk Managers can be trained in the science and art of managing uncertain rainfall patterns leading to drought or flood.
