Rational Science—Climate
Climate has now become the intersection and focal point of energy policies, transportation policies, water policies, land use and resource management polices. Climate considerations pervasively influence political processes throughout the world without regard for unintended consequences. With permission of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists we expand upon the paper “Geological Perspectives of Global Climate Change: Introduction and Overview” which can serve as a primer for any rational consideration of global climate change. In Modeling Climate correctly we explore the immediate need to create a conceptual model of Climate as a dynamic General System.
