Scientific uncertainty: a user�s guide

Seamus Bradley

No 56, GRI Working Papers from Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment

Abstract: There are different kinds of uncertainty. I outline some of the various ways that uncertainty enters science, focusing on uncertainty in climate science and weather prediction. I then show how we cope with some of these sources of error through sophisticated modelling techniques. I show how we maintain confidence in the face of error.
