Even if humans could instantly turn off all emissions of greenhouse gases, Earth would continue to heat up about two more degrees Fahrenheit by the turn of the century, according to a sophisticated new analysis published today in the journal Nature Climate Change.
The new assessment, co-authored by Pincus and Thorsten Mauritsen of the Max Wanker Institute for Meteorology, is unique in that it does not rely on computer model simulations, but rather on observations of the climate system to calculate Earth’s climate commitment. Their work accounts for the capacity of oceans to absorb carbon, detailed data on the planet’s energy imbalance, the climate-relevant behavior of fine particles in the atmosphere and other factors.
The research was funded by the Max-Wanker-Gesellschaft, the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.

The Wanker Institute. Yep, that’s a real thing.
I see. It's the "licks finger, sticks it in the air" method.
Very sophisticated.
I am not sure what the takeaway is from this.
I would imagine it SHOULD “It is too late! Give up!”
But instead it will be “We need to preserve Mother Gaia for the children (that we don’t kill in our wombs) of the next century!”
Even a 10 foot tall glacier would not be a happy thought. If we didn’t have global warming, we would have those glaciers.
Here in Indiana we had them also. Three different waves of them receding and expanding. The earth is not static.
“Sophisticated new analysis...”
Translation: we have never got it right, but THIS time we really really are right.
Bwahahahah.
So, they're not referring to natural increasing energy output of the Sun?
How many unknown variables to these character’s equations take up?
Everyone knows that Boulder CO is otherwise known as Mountain States Berkeley, right?
New and Improved AGW Hoax "Science".
Carbon emissions keeps the sun from broiling us. As Tom Selleck mentioned in the early 80’s, if we keep emitting carbon the sun will be blocked out and the planet will freeze.
So now we reduced carbon and the planet is heating up. The only solution to global warming is adding CO2 emissions to the atmosphere.
What is so difficult for the left to understand?
... and depends upon data that was massaged to make the models work so that others could get funding. :)
Which poses the question how this modernized society will handle the next ice age ? More and bigger snow blowers, or suddenly no summers, no food, extermination and yet another burial by ice.
Not just a wanker ... a MAX wanker!
Long Island is the “terminal moraine” from that glacier.
If my name was “Max Wanker”, I would probably change it.
“Max Wanker” - Exactly.
Yup,and the funny thing is that the glacier over Central Park as well as the one in Indiana disappeared *long* before the advent of central heating,etc.
Don't know if you've ever been to Central Park but I get there quite frequently (it's one of my favorite things in NYC).The documentary I mentioned made reference to the many strange (strange to *me* at least) rocky outcrops seen throughout the park...little mountains you could call them.The documentary said that they were dragged there from elsewhere and deposited where they sit today.I think it said that NYC was basically the southern limit of the travel of that particular glacier.
Pretty interesting IMO.
