Harvard-Smithsonian Physicist: Computer Models Used by U.N. Overstate Global Warming

A scholarly paper explaining why predictions made by climate computer models used by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) tend to exaggerate global warming has ignited a political firestorm.

Dr. Wei-Hock “Willie” Soon, a solar physicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, came under attack by environmentalists after co-authoring a peer-reviewed paper explaining “the widening discrepancy between prediction and observation” in climate change models, and members of Congress soon took sides.

The scientific paper, entitled “Why Models Run Hot,” concludes that the computer models overstated the impact of CO₂ on the climate: “The impact of anthropogenic global warming over the next century… may be no more than one-third to one-half of IPCC’s current projections.” …

Oh no a DENIER. His career is over.

As a matter of fact Greenpeace is frantically trying to do just that to him, by accusing him of taking money from the fossil fuels industry to fund this research. It is the Greenpeace accusations that are getting the mention in the mainstream media.

” As a matter of fact Greenpeace is frantically trying to do just that to him, “

And the founder of Greenpeace left the org years ago, due to subversive leftism .

Do any of these model factor biomass?... i.e. plants and animals... plants consume breath Co2 and exhale O2.. animals the reverse.. consume breath O2 and exhale Co2...i could see a feed back loop here..increase Co2 and a hotter greenhouse env would increase plant live ..that would then consuming and removing Co2... and removing any greenhouse effect... make me wonder if the earth biomase is a factor in the long term cycling's of earth between hot periods and ice ages

100% of Global Warming Models were WRONG:

[Talisker]

“The billion-dollar climate models that have so profitably predicted Thermageddon are hopelessly wrong,” Monckton said.

“We said the models were wrong because they were using a rogue equation borrowed from electronic circuitry and bolted on to the climate, where it does not fit. That equation, and that alone, leads the modelers erroneously to triple the small and harmless 1 Cº global warming we should expect from a doubling of CO2 in the air,” he wrote.

“Our irreducibly simple climate model does not replace more complex models, but it does expose major errors and exaggeration in those models, such as the over-emphasis on positive or amplifying temperature feedbacks,” Monckton explained.

“Take away the erroneous assumption that strongly net-positive feedback triples the rate of manmade global warming and the imagined climate crisis vanishes.”

Computer Models Used by U.N. Overstate Global Warming

Models were made by people trying to make a Buck off of us ,don’t forget Obama and Clinton promised the UN $100 Billion a year to fight Global Warming

That is a terrible drawing, it makes Algore look way too good!

Another scientist in need of “punishing”!

Hey, where did you get that graph from? I’d like to visit that site!

Awesome, thanks!
