SUBJECT AND CENTRAL QUESTION
The Skeptical Case: Give serious dissenting arguments a fair hearing after everyone understands the underlying science.
RECOMMENDED VIEWING
Steven Koonin, “Hot or Not: Steven Koonin Questions Conventional Climate Science and Methodology,” Hoover Institution, 2023. Follow, if desired, with Judith Curry's shorter presentation on climate uncertainty and risk. Steven Koonin — Hot or Not Judith Curry — Climate Uncertainty and Risk
CLASS DISCUSSION
Rather than asking “Is Koonin right or wrong?”, make the group identify each claim as: supported by mainstream assessments; an interpretation of accepted data; a genuine uncertainty; or a claim that conflicts with the weight of evidence. This should produce an excellent discussion.
