CSIRO Disclaimer

 
The mass media in Australia should have actually read the "Climate Change In Australia" report which is trying to outdo itself in drama, timed perfectly for the Federal Election.
The report is here..
http://www.climatechangeinaustralia.gov.au/documents/resources/TR_Web_FrontmatterExecSumm.pdf  

There on page 2 is the usual disclaimer...  



"Disclaimer:
No responsibility will be accepted by CSIRO or the Bureau of Meteorology for the accuracy of the projections in or inferred from this report, or for any person’s reliance on, or interpretations, deductions, conclusions or actions in reliance on, this report or any information contained in it."

Then there is this little gem to finish the report.
"Application of climate projections in impact and risk assessments.
Risk management is an iterative process, where scoping and risk identification usually takes place before more detailed assessments are carried out. Care must be exercised when using the projections in any risk assessment, particularly when selecting climate variables, determining temporal and/or spatial resolution, and dealing with uncertainty. Detailed risk assessments generally require purpose-built climate projections, including time series, or probabilistic representations of future climate. Various tools have been developed which represent different methods for enhancing the delivery of climate information to stakeholders both for education and for risk assessment and management.Nevertheless, significant challenges remain for communicating climate risk in ways that can be effectively used in risk management

Here is the old one - since the whole thing is computer modelling it obviously had to be toned down and obfusated!

"Disclaimer
The projections are based on results from computer models
that involve simplifications of real physical processes that
are not fully understood. Accordingly, no responsibility will
be accepted by CSIRO for the accuracy of the projections
inferred from this brochure or for any person’s
interpretations, deductions, conclusions or actions in
reliance on this information."
