fr.de (German)

Models, while comprehensive, paradoxically reduce collective certainty about climate protection, leading to reliance on statistics as a substitute for direct experience. Politics requires clear certainties for policy justification, but scientific uncertainty clashes with this need, making statistics a source of dissent rather than resolution.
