Guus Berkhout, president of Clintel, recorded a speech for the 2025 GSH spring symposium, that was held in Houston on March 5 and 6 2025. His talk was shown on March 6. As the title of his speech - let the data speak - suggests, Berkhout is favouring an approach for climate science in which measurements take a leading role and climate modelling a much smaller role.
The full - even somewhat extended - speech of Berkhout is available in written format here. clintel.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Guus-Berkhout-Let-the-data-speak-March-2025.pdf
One important message of Berkhout is that in the climate debate we focus too much on a simplified indicator for global warming, the iconic global average surface temperature. By showing this one-dimensional picture of the evolving climate, we forget to look at all the data and what we can learn from that.
Guus Berkhout had a long career in geophysics, a field in which imaging techniques play a crucial role. He strongly believes that progress in climate science also should come from climate imaging and he encourages his colleages from the geophysics community to join his efforts.
