Do Climate Models Account For Technology?
Following my article on the dubious ethics of Climate modeling I had an interesting Twitter conversation with a climate alarmist which made me realize that there are even more problems with this whole doomsday scenario.
First, notice the language: “if trends continue” — I was under the impression that the problem is that the Climate was rapidly changing (for the worse) and we should do something about it.
Secondly, and more importantly, I asked him if, and how, those catastrophic predictions accounted for technological improvements, his answer was vague and didn’t address my question but I propose we dive further into it.
Most climate models that I’ve seen use a 20-30 years timeframe and all of them have a negative outlook: higher temperatures, higher sea levels, decreasing of ice caps, increasing of CO2, etc etc
For simplicity let’s take a 25 years span and let’s go back to 1993.
