SUMMARY:
Once again
the UN's IPCC
is about to tell us
( expected in 2021 )
to trust an average
of climate computer
games, that have
consistently
over-predicted
global warming
since the 1970's ?
The IPCC
uses an average
to obscure
the only model
with a good
track record:
-- INM-CM,
a Russian
climate model
climate model
that currently
guesses
guesses
about +1.9⁰ C.
of global warming
from a doubling
of the CO2 level,
which is
more warming
more warming
than we've had
since 1975
since 1975
( even if you assume,
a worst case,
with no proof,
that ONLY CO2
causes global
warming. )
but at least it is
a reasonable guess,
relative to actual
warming in the past.
What do you call it when
climate models consistently
over-predict global warming,
for 50 years in a row, and the
ONLY model that seems to
work well ( Russian INM-CM )
is deliberately obscured,
by averaging predictions
of dozens of almost all
"too hot" climate models
together ?
That is called science fraud !
And if a computer game
makes wrong predictions,
as almost all do, then they are
just expensive computer games,
not real models of any climate
change science on our planet !
As I have said here, about
1,267 times before, a computer
model predicts whatever its
owners want predicted.
A model produces a personal
opinion, not real data, such as
measurements and observations
of the real world.
DETAILS:
The coming climate change crisis
has been "coming" since the 1970s.
We've been hearing
predictions of
a climate crisis
for 45 to 50 years !
This is NOT about an actual
climate crisis, just an imaginary
crisis "coming" in the future.
The "crisis" is alleged to start
after 325 years of intermittent
global warming, since the 1690s,
which has made the climate
more moderate, and
more pleasant.
It is claimed that global warming
will continue, which I celebrate
here in Michigan USA !
And that is a reasonable guess !
But FUTURE global warming
is claimed to be 100% bad news,
completely the opposite of
PAST warming, which was
100% good news.
There is no logical reason
to make that wild guess
year after year !
We have already had
at least +1.5 degrees C.
of global warming,
possibly +2 degrees C.
since the 1690s,
and one of the
biggest climate changes
has been warmer winter
nights in Alaska,
( at least since 1975 ).
Back in 2016 some scientists
compared climate models with
reality since 1979.
They picked 1979 only because
a new, and potentially much more
accurate measurement,
began in 1979.
The use of weather satellites
to indirectly measure warming
in the troposphere !
Why the troposphere ?
The troposphere is the
most important location
because that's where
greenhouse gas warming
actually happens.
The troposphere is not
warmed by man made
land use changes
and economic growth
near the thermometers.
Only a small area near both
poles is missed by satellites,
and has to be guessed.
Surface "measurements"
include far more guessing
for areas with
no thermometers,
and/or missing data.
1979 happens to be
the satellite data
starting point,
but 1979 is also
just a few years
after the current
period of warming
began in 1975.
A 1979 staring point
makes climate models
look their best ...
yet they still average
predictions of
100% more warming (2x)
than actually happened.
In fact, CO2 levels began rising
after 1940, especially after 1950.
And there was no surface warming
measured from 1940 to 1975,
before the weather satellite era.
If you started measurements
in 1940, the climate model
predictions would average
close to triple (3x)
the actual warming,
especially if you excluded
the one Russian model
that seems to work well.
Every seven years
the United Nations
the United Nations
Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate
Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC)
forecasts the average
forecasts the average
global temperature
in 2100, or even
in 2100, or even
beyond.
Calculations based on
“general circulation models,”
or more comprehensive
“earth system models.”
Each report is based on
a batchof models
grouped together as the
a batchof models
grouped together as the
“Coupled Model
Intercomparison
Intercomparison
Project” (CMIP).
The fifth batch,
CMIP5, was used for
the 2013) IPCC report.
CMIP models

at a Netherlands website
known as KNMI
Climate Explorer.
Climate Explorer.
The Russian INM-CM4
(Institute for
Numerical Mathematics–
Climate Model Four),
predicted the least warming
of all the CMIP5 models.
The 2013 IPCC
report predicted
a climate “sensitivity”
( average global warming
resulting from the doubling
of atmospheric carbon dioxide )
of +1.5⁰C to +4.5⁰C,
a guess from the 1970s,
that never seemed to change.
The sensitivity of the "cold"
Russian model was +2.1⁰C.
at that time.
The CMIP6 batch of models
are gradually being released
to the public, and so far,
the range of global warming
predictions is even larger
than before.
This suggests an even larger
over-prediction of future
global warming is coming
next year !
The revised
Russian
INM-CM4.8
model actually
dropped
its sensitivity
to +1.8⁰C,
down from +2.1 C.
and their
next-generation
model, INM-CM5,
assumes about
+1.9⁰ C. of CO2
sensitivity.
Fourteen of the
40 CMIP6 models
( available at the time)
had sensitivities
higher than
the upper limit of the
UN’s 2013 range, with two
at a scary +5.6⁰C. by 2100 !
For over 40 years, the sensitivity
has been wild guessed with a
HUGE +1.5⁰C to +4.5⁰C. range.
CMIP6 seems to be heading
toward an even larger
+1.5⁰C to +6.0⁰C. range !
