DeConto and Pollard – An Antarctic Science (Fiction?) Disaster
Readers may recall the announcement of the PR for the recent paper claiming Sea-Level rise from Antarctic ice sheet could double in WUWT. In a tongue and cheek way, I prefaced it…
NOAA tweaks their poorly performing Climate Forecast System model to remove 'cold bias'
‘Cold bias’ removed from Atlantic From NOAA/NWS technical information notices (TIN) (h/t) to Dr. Ryan Maue and Larry Kummer. It seems the climate models can’t quite zoom in on the…
