August 2013 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
I figured today would be a good day to post this, with David Rose’s article in the “Sunday Mail” Met Office proof that global warming is still ‘on pause’ as…
Models Fail: Land versus Sea Surface Warming Rates
In Climate Models Fail, using a number of different datasets, I illustrated how the climate models used by the IPCC for their 5th Assessment Report could not simulate climate variables…
Sorry IPCC – How You Portrayed the Global Temperature Plateau is Comical at Best
NOTE: Please see the 2 updates at the end of the post. # # # The IPCC released their “approved” Summary for Policymakers for their 5th Assessment Report early this…
New Book by Bob Tisdale: “Climate Models Fail”
THANK YOU Many thanks to everyone who has purchased a copy of Climate Models Fail — and to those who are considering it. And thank you, Anthony, for posting this…
IPCC to Once Again Illustrate Climate Model Failings in AR5 Summary for Policymakers
The IPCC appears to be ready to make the same presentation of climate model failures as they have in past reports. Figure SPM.5 from the leaked draft of the Summary…
A Quick Look at the HADGEM2-ES Simulations of Sea Surface Temperatures
There’s been an online disagreement between skeptics and the UKMO in recent days. See Bishop Hill’s post here, and Nic Lewis’s full discussion here. Nic’s discussion was also referenced in…
What People Will Read and See with the IPCC’s Lead-Off Illustration from the AR5 SPM
Anthony Watts published an illustration and an excerpt of the draft of the IPCC’s Summary for Policymakers due out later this month. See the WUWT post Excerpts from the Leaked…
A Video Preview of “Climate Models Fail”
Note: The video has been updated to reflect the fact that Climate Models Fail is now available for sale in Kindle and pdf formats. I also replaced the word “employed”…
July 2013 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
My apologies for the delay. I was waiting for the NCDC to update their data webpage here. As of this morning, the NCDC has not updated it, so I used…
'Mind blowing paper' blames ENSO for Global Warming Hiatus
Note: Dr. Judith Curry also has an essay on this important paper. She writes: My mind has been blown by a new paper just published in Nature. Just when I…
Extreme Weather – A Quick Note about Peterson et al (2013)
I haven’t seen Peterson et al (2013) presented alone yet at WattsUpWithThat. It was referred to in Jim Steele’s excellent WUWT post Fabricating Climate Doom – Part 3: Extreme Weather…
Mid-August Hurricane Development Region Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly Update
According to the NOAA National Hurricane Center, there are two low pressure systems in the tropical North Atlantic with good chances of becoming tropical storms. See Figure 1. In fact,…
About the Unusual Warming Event in Extratropical North Pacific Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies
As noted in the July 2013 Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Anomaly Update, the extratropical North Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies (24N-65N, 100E-100W) made an unexpected surge in July 2013. NOAA…
Part 2 – Comments on the UKMO Report “The Recent Pause in Global Warming”
This is part 2 of the 3-part series. In it, we’ll discuss the recently released UK Met Office paper The recent pause in global warming (2): What are the potential…
Sea Surface Temperature and Anomalies Along the Projected Track of Tropical Storm Dorian
The National Hurricane Center announced the formation of Tropical Storm Dorian. So we’ll take look at the sea surface temperatures and anomalies along its projected storm track. See Figure 1.…
Part 1 – Comments on the UKMO Report about “The Recent Pause in Global Warming”
INTRODUCTION I’ve received a number of emails and requests to comment on the recently released 3-part report from the UK Met Office titled “The Recent Pause in Global Warming”. See…
No Consensus among Three Global Precipitation Datasets
Global precipitation is a crucial part of our understanding of the global Water Cycle. The climate science community can’t hope predict how precipitation will change in the future without knowing…
Why the NOAA Global Temperature Product Doesn’t Comply With WMO Standards
The opening paragraph of NOAA’s press release NCDC Releases June 2013 Global Climate Report begins with alarmist statistics and an error (my boldface): According to NOAA scientists, the globally averaged…
