How Do I Feel About Climate Change?

Just about like this : “The public generally underappreciates that climate models are not meant for reducing our uncertainty about future climate, which they really cannot, but rather they are for increasing our confidence that we understand the climate system in general,” says Michael Bauer, a climate modeler at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, in New York. In general, the simpler a system is, and the fewer the variables, the more confidence we can have in the applicability of the results of scientific studies. But climate (like humanity) is a notoriously complex and poorly-understood system, and models for either are inherently unreliable. Therefore predictions are exceedingly suspect in both areas. And yet policy must be made. So, how to decide? Are sites such as this or this reputable? Without specialized knowledge, how can we know? One can go by the majority opinion, and it certainly appears that the majority of scientists bel...
