The only reasons I can see for getting into climate science at the start of one's career would be 1) one sees the field as a way to promote a particular unrelated agenda and receive money and accolades for doing totally shoddy work (a-la Dr. Mann), and 2) one is only capable of doing shoddy work but wants to be a 'scientist' anyway.
Here's a good laugh.
Following is a quote from a REAL SCIENTIST about REAL climate models.
We're about a year and a half away from the start of New Horizons' scientific mission at Pluto. Scientists are preparing for the encounter by developing models that make predictions for what New Horizons might see. Once we have the data from New Horizons in hand, scientists will be able to use that to figure out which models made the right predictions, and which didn't. At least that's how we hope it will work! The real world is always messier than our simulations.Now, back to your regular scheduled program,
