The model suggests summers will be warmer across the U.S., but the central part of the country will warm less than the rest of the country...

...or maybe not.

European Heat Waves Double In Length Since 1880

The model suggests...

Gosh, I wonder if that model accounts for all possible variables?

So the temperature in Biloxi, Mississippi ten days from today will be?

If the climate is changing, you can't stop it over the next 50 years.

If we can't stop it, then we can't cause it.

[BigBobber]

The three have worked together on climate studies for 15 years.

Gutowski said the research groups have moved on to testing their models by running them with climate data from 1979 to 2004 and comparing the results to what actually happened.

Fifteen years and they're just now getting ready to predict what happened three years ago.

Woo Hoo!

"As you know, no simulation or forecast is perfect," he said.

Yeah, and some are completely wrong.

[catpuppy]

The research groups are now preparing to use data from global climate models to run climate simulations for the years 2040 to 2070.

Whoopty blankin' doo. We're saved!

Researchers Work To Track North American Climate Change

LOL!! Hehehehahaha.. This is too rich!

Looky here everyone, we researchers are tracking Climate Change - the new buzz words since both Global cooling and Global Warming didn’t fool enough people.

Climate change is more commonly called WEATHER, and tracking it transforms you fancy high brain powered research types into that guy that we commoners call "the weatherman."

LOL!

“The model suggests summers will be warmer across the U.S., but the central part of the country will warm less than the rest of the country.”

Bone heads can’t even tell me what the weather will be like this weekend.

2040?

riiiiiiiggghhhhhhhhhhhhtttttttt.

"There is no question now that the climate is changing on a global scale"

This is similar to saying there is no question now that the season is changing on a global scale. Once the cycle returns to a colder climate, we will likely not be able to support 6 billion people with North America under 2 miles of glaciers.

[P.O.E.]

I’m just jealous I didn’t think of this great idea to receive long term funding.

This image shows how much daily summer high temperatures are expected to increase from the 1990s to the 2040s, according to a climate model prepared by the Iowa State University Regional Climate Modeling Laboratory.

I stopped reading right there.

Later I will post the article pointing out that mathematicians and statisticians have never been invited to work on computer models which are used to make these doom forecasts.

Garbage In, Garbage Out.

Anybody can (and does) abuse and misuse computer programs.

Prof. Takl is a bit selective in his models. Anyone living in the Midwest during the 1930’s will testify that it was far hotter then....many heat records from that time are still standing. If the good professor would include climate data starting at 1900 instead of 1990 I am certain he would get very different results.

[Publius6961]

"There is no question now that the climate is changing on a global scale," says Takle, an Iowa State University professor of geological and atmospheric sciences and agronomy. "The evidence is so overwhelming."

D'OH!
This guy is clearly a genius.
Nobody, but nobody I have heard of, who knows what he is talking about denies this. This is not what the acrimonious debate is all about.

The planet's historical cycles of cooling and warming clearly indicates that there have been hundreds of prior periods of warming. The current one would be no different.

This overeducated doofus, however, fails to make a similar dogmatic statement about the anthropogenicity of the current trend.

When he does so, we can discuss.
