Join host Dr. Alberto Troccoli as he delves into the complexities of climate change with Prof. Tim Palmer, a research professor from the University of Oxford. In this episode of the Let's Climunicate podcast, they discuss the reality of global warming, the role of human emissions, and the uncertainties surrounding climate models. Prof. Palmer shares insights from his book 'The Primacy of Doubt', emphasising the significance of understanding uncertainty in climate science. The conversation explores the potential of high-resolution climate models, the impacts of clouds on climate predictions, and the need for international collaboration akin to CERN for advancing climate research.
