Today, the University of Pennsylvania newspaper “The Daily Pennsylvanian” covered Armstrong’s challenge on the front page (pdf). Click here to view the online version of “An Inconvenient Bet?”
Of note in the article is the author’s interview of an MIT climate scientist:
Carl Wunsch, a professor of physical oceanography and climate-change expert at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said that though different forecasting models show different outcomes for the planet as a result of global warming, most which are taken seriously by climate-change experts do show the world overall becoming warming and wetter because of human activity.
“They should be regarded as possibilities … that need to be taken seriously,” he said.
Wunsch also questioned whether someone who is admittedly unversed in the scientific principles of meteorology and geology could provide a better forecasting model than experts in these fields.
