Description: 

The presentation outlines the usefulness of climate projection models. The presentation also describes the limited reliability of climate projection science, and recommends a combined use of available knowledge of land systems with climate modeling systems to account for variability and uncertainty. The models we have now are useful, but always strive towards developing better climate science systems.
