SUMMARY:Separating useful signals from distracting noise in the climate di
 scussion - Dr Dan Jones (British Antarctic Survey)

DESCRIPTION:Arguments from basic physics\, data analysis\, and climate mod
 elling suggest that climate-­warming trends over the past century are ver
 y likely due to human activities. Ninety‐seven percent of climate scient
 ists\, and more than 18 international scientific organizations\, endorse t
 his position[1]. Despite this apparently clear diagnosis\, there is still 
 a considerable amount of “noise” regarding climate change in popular d
 iscussion. In this informal talk\, I attempt to distinguish high quality 
 “signal” from some of the unreliable “noise” in the broad conversa
 tion about climate and climate change.\n\n[1] W. R. L. Anderegg\, “Exper
