I'd actually like to see the comparison. It seems to me that there is a case for us understanding the long-term evolution of climate. We have a decent record of atmospheric composition and temperature in ice cores, and, after all, we do know something about the effect of greenhouse gases -- the direct physics is not too complex. It's the feedback loops -- clouds, biology and so on, that are the challenge. Likewise with economics. But it seems that the details of the dismal science are even more turbulent...
