WUWT
Has the scientific problem of climate been solved in terms of basic
physics and mathematics? No, but you will be forgiven if you thought
otherwise. For decades, the most rigorous treatments of climate have
been done through climate models. The clever model pioneers understood
many of their inherent limitations, but tried to persevere nonetheless.
Today, few academics are even aware of what the pioneers understood, let
alone what has been learned since about the full depth of modelling
difficulties.
Meanwhile popular expressions of the scientific technicalities are
largely superficial, defective, comically nonsensical, and virtually
uncorrectable. All of the best physics and all of the best computer
models cannot put this Humpty Dumpty together, because we face some of
the most fundamental problems of modern science in climate, but hardly
know it. If you think you want to have a go at those problems, there are
at least a couple million dollars in prizes in it, not to mention a
Fields Medal or two."
