Lessons Learned
q Uncertainties in science are
inevitable.
q We need to familiarize
ourselves with the processes that determine the climate of this planet and the sensitivity of these processes to
perturbations.
q Over tens of thousands of
years, we are unlikely to do great harm to our planet as a whole.
qWe can, however, cause inconvenience to ourselves in the next several decades by continually
perturbing the global climate.
