1-0 to the optimist.


Still open to argument here though, if you cant persuade, then maybe we will have to wait four years to see if the North Pole has melted away

Sorry DimPrawn, house prices will rise (for me at least). That apartment in Cambridge is soon going to be beach-front property!!

just think how much weight that would give to your argument, if only it were true

Even going back to the second world war, scientists were using modeling to successfully grow more efficient crops. They performed small scale experiments which via modelling enabled them to formulate the best practices on a large scale. It worked, no need to waste tons of resources only to find out it wasn't the best way.

Spot on, now do me a favour. nip over to Cern and tell them they are wasting their time and money because Foxy Loxy has modelled the Higgs Boson all to bits.

Modelling is all well and good, but it can be manipulated to get whatever results you want. If you produce modelling that suggests that climate change is not the "Extinction Level Event" some would paint it to be, your funding dries up overnight. If you produce models that suggest it will kill us all in short order, then governments see it as an ideal vehicle for raising punitive guilt taxes, and will keep sponsoring you to produce the results they want to hear to prolong these myths. The problem is that the more alarmist of the early models are not living up to their ghastly forecasts in any way shape or form, and the less slack-jawed amongst us are smelling a huge furry rodent.
