Re: Peter Worthington's column, "Weather Watch", April 25, 2007
Freeman Dyson has indeed said that climate models can't be trusted to predict the effects of global warming. While Mr. Dyson is not a climate researcher, I'll concede that there's uncertainty in the models. But that uncertainty can work both ways. Consider the news today that Artic sea ice has been measured to be melting three times faster than average prediction of 18 computer models used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Instead of doubting global warming we should be cautious and conservative by putting the burden of proof on those who say that it's okay to continue "business as usual".
