Any climate scientist
who openly contradicts
or questions the leftist
"climate consensus”
can ruin his career,
and get excluded
from project funding
opportunities.
It's common for scientists
who are skeptical to
protect their wallets
by keeping quiet until
after they retire, and
start their pensions.
So it's surprising that
Austrian scientists in the
Austrian Zentralanstalt
für Meteorologie und
Geodynamik (ZAMG)
have criticized the
always wrong
climate models !
On the ZAMG’s website,
the Vienna-Austria-based
scientists discuss important
criticisms:
( sentences below have been translated ):
"Future natural climate drivers
are not accounted for.
If the share of individual
climate drivers in the
development of global
temperature are misjudged
by climate models,
and even if they delivered
a realistic result thus far,
future simulations
will be wrong.
In addition, beside the
anthropogenic (man made) one,
other climate drivers
in future scenarios
are not even accounted for.
They just cannot be predicted.
One problem with the
global climate models
is the model focus
on the reproduction
of the measured global
mean temperature.
Although this is relatively
well simulated, there are
concerns as to whether
the models’ sensitivity
to the different
climate drivers
(solar activity,
volcanic aerosols,
greenhouse gases, etc.)
corresponds to reality.
In addition, the drivers are
not understood properly,
even with their warming
or cooling effect.
So it is possible that
a climate model
correctly simulates
the mean global temperature
– even with incorrect
sensitivities with respect
to its drivers.
Is the anthropogenic (man made)
climate driver overrated ?
The 4th Assessment Report
of the (UN's) IPCC
(Solomon et al. 2007)
notes that warming
in the second half
of the 20th century
was “very likely”
caused by the increase in
anthropogenic (man made)
greenhouse gas
concentrations.
This statement is based
on the simulations from
a variety of global
climate models.
Critics, however, say the models
have too high a sensitivity for CO2
as a driver and, for example,
underestimate the influence
of the sun."
