Grist: When we talk about climate models, its all all uncertainty this and insufficiency that as though theres some perfect, comprehenisve model of planet earth to compare them to. But no one criticizes NASA for building spacecrafts that arent the Starship Enterprise, because they know that the Starship Enterprise is fictional. The same is true for climate models that perfect simulation doesnt exist. This video from Motherboard helps explain why that is (while also informing us that NASAs...

Can Climate Scientists Make Difference by Not Flying?

Climate Central: Globally, air travel accounts for 2.5 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. If air travel were a country, it would be roughly on par with Germany in emissions. And if air travel by climate scientists were a city, it would be a one-stoplight outpost. In other words, climate scientists curtailing their air travel would make a microscopic dent in reducing emissions, but a new paper argues they should do it anyway, because their influence goes far beyond numbers. "It's a credibility issue,' Corinne...
