My dad’s an incredibly gifted mechanical engineer - and he’s always been obsessed with studying the reliability of different cars.
Wife and I thinking about getting an SUV, and I asked his opinion on Land Rovers:
What if we made a special road just for Ubers, and those Ubers seated 1,000 people so each person paid less for a ticket, and we ran those Ubers at predictable times of the day so one could depend on there always being a ride available
Scientists have been publishing climate models since ~1970.
A good way to evaluate their skill is to compare what they expected to happen in the years after the model was published to observed climate changes.
It turns out most models were pretty spot-on:
