Ian Allison: Science frozen out as world warms

THE admission by CSIRO chief Larry Marshall that, after the Paris climate meeting, we now know that Earth’s climate is changing is welcome.

Particularly if most of our politicians are also convinced by the overwhelming scientific evidence. But his implication we know how climate will evolve in the future, and hence can redirect CSIRO climate scientists to other roles, is wrong. Accurate projections of future climate are essential if we are to employ mitigation measures and to adapt to inevitable change. …

The scientific questions about climate are certainly not all answered.

Further research is clearly required and it must involve the CSIRO experts who are world leaders in the field. http://www.themercury.com.au/news/opinion/science-frozen-out-as-world-warms/news-story/30be31bc769d31e9d51e17c29ebca93a
