Here’s what a reviewer of a book Duke’s Dr. Orrin H. Pilkey wrote with his daughter had to say:
Now Dr. Pilkey and his daughter Linda Pilkey-Jarvis, a geologist in the
Washington State Department of Geology, have expanded this view into an
overall attack on the use of computer programs to model nature. Nature
is too complex, they say, and depends on too many processes that are
poorly understood or little monitored ? whether the process is the
feedback effects of cloud cover on global warming or the movement of grains of sand on a beach.
What will the IPCC have to say about this? This climate-model scorecard shows the Pilkeys are on the right track.
