Is The NSF Funding Untestable Climate Predictions – My Comments On A $6 Million Grant To Fund A Center For Robust Decision–Making On Climate And Energy Policy”

The University of Chicago Center, as presented in the news release and on the CIM-EARTH website, appear to be perpetuating the scientifically flawed approach of using untestable climate model predictions to communicate economic and other human impacts decades from now to policymakers as robust science. The National Science Foundation needs to be challenged on  their funding of studies which are based on untestable multi-decadal global climate model predictions.
