Twenty-five Climate Models Can't All Be Wrong … Or Can They?

From the NIPCC report: As seemingly never-ending work on developing and improving climate models progresses, there is also a seemingly never-ending set of assessments of how that work is progressing;…

Termites, fungi, models, and climate change

From the University of Central Florida Climate change models could have a thing or two to learn from termites and fungi, according to a new study released this week. For…

Atmospheric Layers, The Biosphere, The Boundary Layer, Microclimate and Inadequate IPCC Models

Guest essay by Dr. Tim Ball During a university presentation I said the climate models do not include the Milankovitch Effect. A person challenged me saying he worked on climate…

Another dubious linkage to 'climate change': Modeled increase in Arctic Cyclones

I don’t put much merit in this study especially when we see statements like “statistically significant, though minor, increase in extreme Arctic cyclone frequency” because we really haven’t had good…
