Global Climate Models – What are they good for?

Australia is spending big money on climate change, but what are the models really telling us? In a peer reviewed paper published earlier this year Kesten Green and Willie Soon tested a number of models and came to some surprising conclusions.

This is an event that should be essential for policy makers as well as the generally interested. After 20 years of models and IPCC reports, it’s beyond time that someone checked to see how predictions compared with each other, and with reality.

Dr Kesten Green is an expert in prediction. He has developed new and better forecasting methods for business and public policy, and his research is widely cited. He has proposed and tested a unifying theory of forecasting, the Golden Rule of Forecasting, and is responsible for a review of evidence confirming the superiority of sophisticatedly simple forecasting methods over complex ones.

Kesten’s book The Scientific Method: A Guide to Finding Useful Knowledge (Cambridge 2022) provides checklists to help researchers and stakeholders improve the practice of science. It includes a Foreword by Nobel laureate Vernon L. Smith.

The function will be a lecture with drinks and refreshments beforehand and time for networking before and after.
