So the strengths of our study are that we use a computer model (instead of expert judgement and extrapolation), that we test it with observations, and that we use Bayes’ theorem to estimate probabilities of sea level rise. Limitations But there always limitations, and these are important to bear in mind too. Our model has simplifications to make...
