Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters
v1.0.0Steven E. Koonin's "Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters" — an executable toolkit for understanding the actual state of climate science, separating settled knowledge from uncertainties, and evaluating climate policy through the lens of data, not alarm. Covers 7 use cases: ① Climate Literacy — understanding what's settled and what isn't ("What does climate science actually know for sure?") ② Model Skepticism — evaluating the reliability of climate projections ("How reliable are computer climate models?") ③ Media Literacy — spotting distortions in climate reporting ("What are they not telling me about climate change?") ④ Honest Uncertainty — why scientists disagree and why that matters ("Why don't scientists agree about the impacts?") ⑤ The Energy Challenge — why decarbonization is harder than promised ("Why can't we just switch to renewables?") ⑥ Adaptation and Geoengineering — Plan B strategies ("What do we do if emissions reduction isn't enough?") ⑦ Risk Management — making decisions under uncertainty ("How do I think about climate without panicking?") Trigger when users say: "Is climate change an existential threat?" "What does climate science really say?" "Are climate models reliable?" "How much is the sea level rising?" "Is climate change causing more hurricanes?" "Can we switch to 100% renewable energy?" "What is the Paris Agreement doing?" "Is the climate science settled?" "Climate change skepticism" "What is the IPCC?" or mention: Steven Koonin / Unsettled / climate science / IPCC / climate models / uncertainty / Feynman / double ethical bind / Cargo Cult Science / CO2 / greenhouse gas / energy transition / net zero / Paris Agreement / renewable energy / adaptation / geoengineering / carbon capture / solar radiation management / sea level rise / heat waves / hurricanes / wildfires / Green New Deal / Schumann resonance / Jason-3 / Red Team Also triggers when the user says they just installed this skill or doesn't know how to start — the AI MUST proactively present the Quick Start guide below.
