Fri 22 Mar 2024 - Human-induced climate change is changing the physical, financial, and societal risks faced by almost all aspects of society. Understanding what can and can’t be said about these changing risks is central to responding effectively.
In this webinar Prof David Stainforth presents some of the central ideas from his new book: ‘Predicting Our Climate Future: what we know, what we don’t know, and what we can’t know’.
He presents issues related to the origins and robustness of knowledge. And he explains why you should absolutely trust some of the conclusions from climate science while treating others with much more caution.
