Royal Society on uncertainty

Mar 18, 2010
Bishop Hill in Climate: Curry, Climate: Statistics, Royal Society

The Royal Society is holding a series of discussions on uncertainty in science in a couple of weeks' time. The programme looks pretty interesting. Among the highlights are:

• Lord May on Science as organised scepticism
• Julia Slingo on Uncertainty in Weather and Climate Prediction
• Peter Webster on Uncertainty in predicting extremes of weather and climate
• Leonard Smith on Uncertainty, ambiguity and risk in forming climate policy

Judith Curry is then running the closing panel discussion and overview.

Unfortunately registration is now closed, but if anyone is going it would be great to get a report on the proceedings.

In the meantime the BBC is discussing the issue of uncertainty today. This will presumably be available on the iPlayer later on.
