Pielke is a polarizing figure in climate research, particularly for his views on how climate change should—and should not—be incorporated into catastrophe models used for annual insurance and reinsurance decisions.It was a timely conversation, especially as Pielke has recently used his Substack, The Honest Broker, to critique the current state of climate-risk analytics and modeling. Whatever your view of his conclusions, they offer a challenging and well-informed perspective on how risk models are being used today.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/3X78H4LzkYVdV3_JNhYpCkRuhSbbSSm8qcc9B0n2z2M/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zYzVh/YmVlMjFlNzE1OGUw/NjVhMTBjMDUwZWVk/YWI1NS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
