Whose mathematical models are better, the global economists, or the global climate scientists?
Regents Professor Steven W. Running
Director, Numerical Terradynamic Simulation Group
It is now abundantly clear that economists were quite unsuccessful in modeling global economics and predicting critical thresholds. I submit that global climate models are much more robust, and that we have a much better understanding of future climate than we do future economics. I recommend that our leaders start listening to the climate scientists.
