Exeter responds to the acute need for more climate change experts

Here.

Excerpt:
CLIMATE change is one of the biggest challenges facing mankind in the 21st century. There is an acute need for more expertise – especially mathematical expertise – to better understand the phenomenon.
Isn't that dangerously close to an admission that the science isn't settled?

Excerpt:
The university and the Met Office Hadley Centre, in Exeter, which is researching climate change, have sufficient computer power to do a lot of climate simulations, he adds, but insufficient brain power to analyse them all. “We need to understand what the models are telling us,” he says.
So we've somehow created computer models that know more about climate than we do?
