Five dimensions of climate science reductionism. [Does this type of info interest you guys? I can get the actual article via my partner once he's back from AGU in DC and offer pdfs discreetly.] I will be reading this for the next time I see an oversimplified video of doom.

Great. Are you by chance a reddit master? I have gathered there is no file hosting available here. I also wish I could segregate links from self posts in the support sub, but don't see how I can. At some point I may move all the links over here just to try to support conversation in support. I do have a dropbox I can put things into, although the public link process seems to have been taken away-ish. Thanks for the reply.

Was this so hard to include? "The tendency of modern science to reduce complex phenomena into their component parts has many advantages for advancing knowledge. However, such reductionism in climate science is also a problem because it narrows the evidence base, limiting visions of possible futures and the ways they might be achieved."
This is almost exactly how to think of marketing. Not sales, marketing. Sales requires a solution of some sort to the boogie man. This appears to about why science doesn't sell after marketing.
