The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have plans to spend up to $18 million over the next five years to develop reliable climate change predictions for the next few decades.
The funding opportunity enables interagency cooperation on one of the most pressing problems of the millennium: climate change and how it is likely to affect our world, according to NSFs official request for bids.
Current methods of predicting future climate change have proved to be wildly inaccurate. For example, none of the 73 computer models used by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicted that there would be no statistically significant global warming for the past 17 years as determined by actual temperature records stored in five different databases worldwide.

Well....at least 18 million not going to the Food Stamp program...hahaha
Let them eat weather...
Learn some Consensus Science, would ya'.

“Its nice how rats always pack themselves into nice tight disease ridden urban nests.”
I’ve never understood this. They are 100% dependent on govt owned or controlled infrastructure for their very own existence. They have no idea how fragile their existence is.
There are too many variables associated with water vapor development and dissipation AND SOLAR ACTIVITY, for them to “improve climate models”.
The beatings plunder will continue until morale improves.
That is exactly what they are going to do: spend 18M plus the inevitable 300% overruns and scope creep. In the end all they will have done is figure out a way to manipulate, falsify, and cherry pick data to feed to some bogus computer models that are then used to scare civilians and lawmakers into throwing real money away and infringing even further on our freedoms and liberties. Look for them to identify anything and everything that liberal fascists don’t like as contributing to “the problem”...
“Project GIGO”.
It's not that predicting climate change is impossible.
It's just that, when you base your models on a wrong theory ("CO2 is the dominant factor affecting temperatures"), they will inevitably give wrong answers.
I suggest that we will get scant little return in predicting "climate change" for this most recent $18M "investment".
This will not even scratch the surface of knowledge about the multitude of factors and their permutations needed to predict climate change.
Somebody be scamming.
Climate is chaos and does not yield to linear thinking.
