Heh. She needs a top hat, monocle, and waxed mustachio.

Now that’s a climate model I can get my arms around...

Awwwww! Sorry DOOMERS! CLIMAGEDDON is nigh! Beat the rush, leave now.

I take it back, it’s not “All in the makeup.” No matter how you made up that evil young evil harridan, she’s still be ugly to the core.

Okay, so we can just go about life as we always have...

This has become one of my all-time favorite memes...

Party like it's 1999 2031!

“New climate models show carbon dioxide is a more potent greenhouse gas than previously understood”

How is this possible if the science is settled?

They need to do the calculations on how many trees need to be planted to minimize the continued risk. Until we know what the mitigation strategy is and the back out plan if this all goes awry.

The latest post at Judith Curry's site reposted at WUWT: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2020/01/13/climate-sensitivity-in-light-of-the-latest-energy-imbalance-evidence/ As someone noted in the comments, the 1.72K ECS translates to 1.16K TCR. The Paris Accord talked about 1.5C or 2C TCR. The government's own prominent scientist says less than 1.8C: https://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/blog_held/27-estimating-tcr-from-recent-warming/

Bottom line: consensus science says warming is minor, "new climate models" notwithstanding.

All lies.

Developed in parallel by separate teams in half-a-dozen countries, the models...

Are you kidding me? You couldn't get a good model developed by all of them in a single room, much less scattered among half a dozen countries!
