Missing the Forest for the Fish : How Much Does the ‘Hawkmoth Effect’ Threaten the Viability of Climate Projections? Goodwin, William M. | Winsberg, Eric 2016 Philosophy of Science , Vol. 83 , Issue 5 , S. 1122 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0031-8248 | 1539-767X Abstract
Roman Frigg and others have developed a general epistemological argument designed to cast doubt on the capacity of a broad range of mathematical models (including many climate models) to generate “decision relevant predictions.” In this article, we lay out the structure of their argument—an argument by analogy—with an eye to identifying points at which certain epistemically significant distinctions might limit the force of the analogy. Finally, some of these epistemically significant distinctions are introduced and defended as relevant to a great many of the predictive mathematical modeling projects employed in contemporary climate science.
