January 28, 2007: Flawed Mathematical Models - Orrin Pilkey

Art Bell welcomes Dr. Orrin Pilkey, a Duke University professor of geology and expert on shoreline processes, to examine the reliability of mathematical models used to shape major public policy decisions. Pilkey argues that while models can reveal broad trends and general directions, society places far too much confidence in their precise numerical predictions, particularly when applied to complex natural systems. The discussion ranges from climate change modeling to the controversial decision… Full show notes & guests: https://artbellarchive.org/episode/january-28-2007-flawed-mathematical-models-orrin-pilkey
