Suggestions of "strong negative cloud feedbacks" in a warmer climate
I thought this post on clouds and climate modeling below from Steve McIntyre’s Climate Audit was interesting, because it highlights the dreaded “negative feedbacks” that many climate modelers say don’t…
MIT: Global Warming of 7°C 'Could Kill Billions This Century'
By Steven Goddard Some readers may remember the 1961 film “The Day the Earth Caught Fire”. It could be viewed as the original “climate alarmist” film as it contains all…
Uh, oh. 50 year old ocean thermohaline model sinking fast, climate models may be disrupted
Another “observations are not models” story is emerging. For more on the status quo of thermohaline circulation, see this Wiki article – Anthony Deep Ocean Conveyor Belt Reconsidered From Peter…
Spencer on an alternate view of CO2 increases
This interesting essay by Dr. Spencer is reposted from his blog, link here: Global Warming Causing Carbon Dioxide Increases: A Simple Model May 11th, 2009 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph.…
The Global Warming Hypothesis and Ocean Heat
Guest Post By William DiPuccio Albert Einstein once said, “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.” Einstein’s words express a foundational…
Climate Models -vs- Climate Reality: diverging or just a dip?
Here’s something really interesting: two comparisons between model ensembles and 3 well known global climate metrics plotted together. The interesting part is what happens in the near present. While the…
Lindzen on negative climate feedback
NEW 4/10/09: There is an update to this post, see below the “read the rest of this entry” – Anthony Guest Post by Richard Lindzen, PhD. Alfred P. Sloan Professor…
Dr. Roy Spencer on publishing and climate sensitivity
Set Phasers on Stun March 29th, 2009 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D. I’ve been receiving a steady stream of e-mails asking when our latest work on feedbacks in the…
If You Can't Explain It, You Can't Model It
Guest Post by Steven Goddard Global Climate Models (GCM’s) are very complex computer models containing millions of lines of code, which attempt to model cosmic, atmospheric and oceanic processes that…
Short term trends from GISS Model E: "The model would be off by about 0.15C in the first five years"
On occasion, comments posted on WUWT are backed up with data or graphs from the commenter, and are so germane that they merit their own post for discussion. This is…
When You Can’t Believe the Model
This article was sent to me by reader Peter Yodis. I found it interesting and germane to current events, so I’m sharing it here. Just a note for clarification, the…
