#DoEDeepDive: Uncertainties in attribution methods Chapter 8 in last summer’s U.S. Department of Energy contrarian climate report looks at the strange alchemy of attribution, the ways by which climate scientists gaze at the entrails of climate data and inevitably conclude that whatever happened, it’s your fault. The IPCC would have you know that they are very sure of their results. In fact the opening sentence of the 2021 AR6 Summary for Policymakers says “It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land.” Unequivocal no less. Funny then that, as the DoE team point out, the selfsame IPCC in 2007 said “unequivocal attribution would require controlled experimentation with the climate system. Since that is not possible...” the best they can do, they explained then, was to run statistical models. And since these models can never account for all the uncertainties, “ultimately expert judgement is required”. So according to the IPCC attribution of climate change to human cause is unequivocal. Also according to the IPCC unequivocal attribution is not possible, so expert judgment is required. And expert judgement is to say that things that cannot be said should be said. If that fails, we’ll read the entrails. The contrarian report’s Chapter 8 explains...

Meta’s measurement and attribution updates are welcomed, but not ground-breaking, ad execs say Meta's updates bring it more in line with third-party tools. While advertisers welcome them, they won’t necessarily lead to budget increases.

Last week, Meta announced changes to its measurement and attribution. Specifically, how it reports on them.

I spoke to a number of ad execs - who all welcomed these changes. But for a number of them, their response was: it’s about time.
