I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Jo Paisley on her Climate Risk Podcast. It’s available now on the @GARP_Risk website and all the usual platforms. https://t.co/CL5lwqyNkY Maybe give it a go? @OUPAcademic @GRI_LSE @WarwickPhysics @newscientist @OUPPhilosophy

🚀 Just published! Our new paper enhances scenario discovery by combining multidimensional time series clustering with advanced analysis tools like pairs plots, parallel coordinate plots, and upset plots to evaluate multidimensional future scenarios. 🔍📊

Just finished the lovely book written by @H4wkm0th: a must read for all (#climate) modellers. The article on which it is based already triggered very lively and fruitful discussions with @CharlesHSimpson and has been central to our reflections on our modelling work. I recommend.

Good excuse to recommend Escape From Model Land by the terrific @H4wkm0th. @greerreNFL, suspect you'd love it. Should prolly recommend it annually, around the draft, as ballast for all the GM/scout criticism we send around.

@greerreNFL @RufusPeabody @mixedknuts @canzhiye This and the the comment above it are all terrific points. Robby is pushing at the limits and assumptions in our models, which are many. Strong agree that we have to be cautious in our confidence in models in the same way we have to be cautious in our confidence in experts.
