Give me some in-put.

BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 19 (UPI) -- Climate scientists say new computer simulation software released by U.S. researchers will be a primary tool as they prepare to study climate change models.
The Community Earth System Model from the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., will be one of the primary climate models used for the next assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a National Science Foundation release said Wednesday.
The CESM is the latest in a series of global models developed during the past 30 years, jointly supported by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation. It was developed by scientists and engineers at NCAR, Department of Energy laboratories, and several universities, the release said.
"The Community Earth System Model is yet another step toward representing improved physics and biogeochemistry in a coupled model," Anjuli Bamzai, program director in NSF's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, said. "As our understanding of climate-relevant processes improves, it is imperative to represent these processes in the model."
The new model's advanced capabilities will help scientists shed new light on some of the critical mysteries of global warming, researchers say.
The CESM, freely available to researchers worldwide, can be used to simulate the many components of Earth's climate system, including the oceans, atmosphere, sea ice and land cover.
Climate scientists rely on computer models to understand Earth's climate system because they cannot conduct large-scale experiments on the atmosphere itself.

All new fudge factors!
Yah. And the source data itself was bogus. No model will fix that.
To test play it backwards and tell us the results.
If it has not been validated it is garbage.
Al Bore is one of the programmers.
I'm going to guess that next summer, it's going to be hot and cool off in the fall. Then it's going to snow. Temperatures will average what they have been for the last 500 years. Oops...we only know 200 years...everything else is a big fat guess.
So this is how science works now? A new model comes down from the mountains and all the climate scientists bow before it? What ever happened to a healthy dose of skepticism?

Well this sounds impartial already! ;-)

Thank God!
There's nothing quite like telling us what the conclusion will be before running the data through the new model!
And yet they can’t predict the weather 3 days from now. Such arrogance.
Read once that the letter “s” was the real problem with the science of global warming
When you have one model all agree on that actually can prove something scientific then you are closer to having truth instead basically a guess
Remember how those models we built as a kid weren’t the real thing and we kinda knew that but it was fun to pretend they were real...................
