S2 E1 | All Models are Wrong But Some Are Useful
Episode 1
Monday, 17 February, 2025
We want to welcome everyone to season two of the Future of Energy podcast, sponsored by the Ershaghi Center for Energy Transition at the Viterbi School of Engineering at the University of Southern California. We hope you followed us in season one if so welcome back. If you are new to the program we try to cover the vast size and complexity of the energy transition by interviewing experts in a wide array of fields in an informal, conversation format using our student co-host to do most of the interviews. This season we have two new student co-hosts so welcome Milia and Rochan. Our first topic is climate modeling. We frequently hear about the results of those models in terms of average global temperature forecasts but how do climate scientists develop those models? In this episode we talk to Dr. Stephen Koonin from the Hoover Institute at Stanford University and author of the book “UnSettled” and get a look behind the scenes in our episode titled: “All Models are Wrong, but some are Useful: A detailed look at climate models and modeling.”
