SUBJECT AND CENTRAL QUESTION
Climate Models and the Genuine Scientific Arguments. Now tackle equilibrium climate sensitivity, clouds, aerosols, ocean circulation, model resolution, parameterization and uncertainty.
RECOMMENDED VIEWING
Gavin Schmidt and Zeke Hausfather, NCAR, “Hot Models and Assessed Warming: Challenges for the Community to Effectively Use CMIP6.” It directly examines an important real modeling problem: some CMIP6 models ran too hot, and the IPCC did not simply average them blindly. NCAR climate-model seminar
CLASS DISCUSSION
This is where “the science isn't settled” is partly correct. Ask: Which questions are settled enough for practical purposes, and which remain quantitatively uncertain?
