This blog consists of comments from my real blog, http://scienceblogs.com/stoat/, which I don't want to publish there.
Plus some other stuff convenient to place here.
And its becoming a convenient place for me to dump my comments on other blogs so I can find them again.

Roberts on IAMs
mt is keen on Roberts on IAMs. Why I'm not sure; I've never been terribly keen on Roberts: http://scienceblogs.com/stoat/2015/01/17/how-much-is-climate-change-going-to-cost-us/ perhaps?
"Do IAMs adequately account for uncertainty? Do they clearly communicate uncertainty to policymakers?" seems like a silly thing to say. Compare: "Do AOGCMs adequately account for uncertainty? Do they clearly communicate uncertainty to policymakers?"
The answer to both questions is: it depends entirely on how the model results are presented.
