Garbage in, garbage out. If you feed a computer false data, you will get false results.
What a crock. The time of your execution has been moved out. we still smell some money in your pocket.
The only part to the story that people might be welling to go along with and strongly consider....is the ‘heat-sink’ situation (where concrete and asphalt add up in a urbanized area....like Atlanta for example). In this case however, if they’d cite this and make it an actual real problem...you’d come to a dozen ways to help lessen the issue and not revolve around regulating income or taxing people.
Trump stops gorebull warming in his first year in office. No pansy liberal could ever achieve that.
Occasionally you read these “we were wrong” articles. But then they go on to say they weren’t wrong about the conclusions, just the niggling supporting details needed to draw it.
Wow... I wish they could control the temperature in my apartment complex. The landlord doesn’t turn on the heat until November and there are some pretty cold days to come between now and November.
This crock about ‘controlling’ the earth’s temperature is one of the most laughable aspects of these global warming disciples and their loony predictions.
This dude realized that when he said it was ‘too late’ to do anything that he had gone to far. Let’s face it, if it’s too late then why would any government keep paying him for any more of his phony baloney research? You need to keep those funds flowing if you’re going to maintain the lifestyle that many of these self proclaimed ‘climate scientist’ have been accustomed to living... Jetting around the globe to exotic locals to check the temperatures, and then there are those week long conferences two or three times a year in Paris, New York and Milan.
That stuff doesn’t come cheap. Those air miles alone are worth a fortune when you go travelling on your summer break from university.
Just keep moving the goalposts so they can keep getting more taxpayer funding. So now they have more time as long as you give them more money to fund more studies to ‘fix’ things. When they already admit they had it all wrong.
Sheesh!
That’s OK, just perform another revision downward of the historical temperature record, and viola! current warming is back on track.
I have a different take on this. To me it almost seems like a negotiating tactic, kind of like when you take your kid to the store and they scream for candy at the check out. When you refuse to give in, they say, "Can I just have a little? This small one?", as a way of getting what they want.
Socialism still sucks.
97% of Personal Libertarians agree that CAGW is a hoax.
Cant read the article... subscribe only.
This is impossible. It goes against the consensus, which is infallible and which must be believed.
Her site is a great resource. There is a new article today about NASA GISS climate models.
“The worst impacts of climate change can still be avoided”
NO THEY CAN’T!
We can’t AVOID anything having to do with the climate, other than build a fire, buy an air conditioner, or move to a nicer climate.
“Climate change” is REAL! It’s called “weather”.
“MAN”, as in HU MAN, has NOTHING to do with it and can do NOTHING about it.
Stupidity.
Weather, and climate, are the mechanism by with the Earth redistributes heat and rids itself of the immense amount of heat that the Sun is blasting on to the Earth. Every day the Sun roasts the surface of the Earth, and every night the Earth radiates most of the heat energy away into space.
If this didn’t happen, the Earth would become overheated and unable to support life.
If humans were to add a small amount of heat to that given by the Sun, the mechanism would handle it with no problem, and there would be no net effect on weather/climate.
The major driver of temperature change is the Sun. “Climate change” fanatics ignore that.

More lies and BS.
Butbutbut........even if the data is completely wrong, we still have to do something! Because it was never about climate, it is about redistribution of wealth! It’s only fair! /s
Well, you don't say! LOL, literally LOL. Anyone with a modicum of common sense and any scientific, engineering, or computer modeling training knew the models were and are wrong.
...makes clear that rapid reductions in emissions will still be required but suggests that the world has more time to make the changes...
Really? Could these people sound any more like a slimy used car salesman? I mean seriously, even the trashiest writers of B-grade screenplays don't create characters this obvious. So, your scare tactics didn't work, you deadlines passed, your predictions have been revealed as excrement... "But wait! There's still time to act!" SMH... Laughable.
“All the evidence from the past 15 years leads me to conclude that actually delivering 1.5C is simply incompatible with democracy.”
And there you have it, the real motives revealed. This isn't about climate, it is about politics and power.
The latest study found that a group of computer models used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had predicted a more rapid temperature increase than had taken place.
Because of two important factors:
One, the models were intentionally manipulated to produce the results desired. That is easily fixed - stop letting criminals with an agenda control the models.
Two, the models were, are, and forever will-be useless at predicting climate. There, I said it. The whole endeavor is pointless. Computer models will never accurately predict climate even 10 years out. Sure, someone could run a model 50 or 100 times with slightly variable inputs, save all the results, and in 10 years say "See, my model works, it predicted the climate today!" - after having selected the run that most closely matched reality. That's the gotcha though - today they don't know which one of those 50 or 100 runs is the right one. The could pick one, but there's only a chance, a few percentage points chance, they are going to be right in 5 or 10 years. You want to predict 100, 200 years out??? Ha! You're insane, you have no idea, none whatsoever, what will happen.
If computer models are worthless at predicting climate even a few years out, is there anything they are useful for? Yes. Computer models are useful at helping us understand how climate works. We build a model, run it against conditions past and present...see how well it works (or doesn't). Go back tweak the model to include new factors, new variables...lather, rinse, repeat. The models are useful at helping us learn how climate works and reacts. But due to the complexity of the system, and the presence of so many random variables they do not and can not ever predict with any decent level of certainty what will happen.
