Based on my appreciation of the scientific method and my research into the weaknesses of models and experts, I take the median IPCC estimate as correct, but assume the uncertainties are greater than they claim. This is somewhat scary, as uncertainties cut in both directions, and moderate climate change is something we can cope with, but extreme climate change is very much worse.

I basically hold the same position.
