There continues to be an alarming neglect of computer software Verification, Validation and Quality Assurance in the entirety of the Climate Change Community for all of its software. Sweating the small stuff in every piece of software requires immediate attention. I'm predicting significant problems ahead if this critical work continues to be avoided.
