(LIVIN ON STORED SUNSHINE)
Gotta love the courage to be silly. Especially in a teacher. Makes me think of Clifford Stoll. Silliness as a highlighter, an invitation to focus.
Here’s Richard Alley again, without his guitar or videocamera, talking about climate and money:
If you take our scientific understanding and you couple it to an economic model, and you say what should we do, the economic model says, to make money, we start investing now. And if you tell the economic model our uncertainties - this is science; its not revealed truth, okay; you’re not sure about that - if you tell the economic model how uncertain we are, the economic model says invest more now.
Big thanks, as usual, to Andy Revkin.
