摘要
The aim of this paper is to show the epistemological problems that researchers of climate change face. The topic of theory-laden observation appears within the field as an indispensability of theoretical models in detecting and attributing climate change. The empirical underdetermination of models is accompanied by an uncertainty of values (of instrumental series and proxy-data) and a structural uncertainty (relative to couplings and radiative forcings). Finally, the article examines the realism of global climate models in connection with their calibration, deterministic chaos and climate projections.
