Beyond "Climategeddon" - from science education to solutions


"I don't see where I used the word 'likely' possibility.
In that comment, I was only giving a senario, by which it 'could' or 'might' possibly happen. So, I think that is the misinterpretation."

It took you quite a while to admit that yours is not the "leading hypothesis" and that, you must know, is defined as the most *likely* scenario, as judged by physical evidence and reasoned statistical analysis. So not using the word "likely" is REALLY nit-picking. Without using the word "likely" that is EXACTLY what you said, until I corrected you. Laboriously.

"Even IPCC admits it cannot be ruled out, even if it is low probability."

Again, what is this word "admits" doing in your comments?

"My point has always been how can probability be ascribed with high degree of confidence when so many factors are admittedly poorly understood."

Science does not work by adverbs and adjectives. "Poorly understood" is a claim you have repeated in various forms, none of which have been statistical. The language of scientific evidence is mathematics. So, numerically, where is the IPCC wrong EXACTLY?
