Climate is essentially a coupled, non-linear, chaotic system. Even the IPCC admitted that. So no mathematician or statistician would attempt to model this system because it is intrinsically impossible. Nor would any scientist trained in the physical sciences, physics, chemistry and geology.
However, the immigrants from the social sciences, finding little to do in their area of ineptitude, wandered into the world of physical science. Their incomplete understanding of the basics led to the extrapolation of social science imprecision to the physical sciences, finding a niche that resulted in the ...
