Whose Probabilities? Predicting Climate Change with Ensembles of Models.

Today's most sophisticated simulation studies of future climate employ not just one climate model but a number of models. 1 explain why this "ensemble" approach has been adopted--namely, as a means of taking account of uncertainty--and why a comprehensive investigation of uncertainty remains elusive...

      ab: Today's most sophisticated simulation studies of future climate employ not just one climate model but a number of models. 1 explain why this "ensemble" approach has been adopted--namely, as a means of taking account of uncertainty--and why a comprehensive investigation of uncertainty remains elusive. 1 then defend a middle ground between two camps in an ongoing debate over the transformation of ensemble results into probabilistic predictions of climate change, highlighting requirements that I refer to as ownership, justification, and robustness.
