Response to A. Henderson-Sellers and K. McGuffie

Article Abstract:

Previous studies regarding climatic change modelling have elicited different responses as to the true nature of the pyramid modelling scheme. Conversations with climate modellers suggest that the climate model pyramid is viewed by some climate experts as more than just a tutorial cartoon and can also be used to rank models in absolute sense. The pyramid model might have been biased towards the climate model developers rather than to the more pragmatic climate change seers.
