Stephen Green, environmental coordinator at Ringmer Community College, and one of the mentors for the Ashden LESS CO2 programme says that «most of the staff at our college are degree educated professionals — they are more than capable of turning their computers off at the end of the day.

When the reseachers at the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research — Oslo (CICERO) applied their computer «model and statistics to analyse temperature readings from the air and ocean for the period ending in 2000, they found that climate sensitivity to a doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentration will most likely be 3.7 °C, which is somewhat higher than the IPCC prognosis.»

«It is undeniably true that global temperature increases have been far, far less than doomsday computer models predicted — about three times smaller, and there are good reasons to suspect the increases from further human CO2 emissions would be smaller still, without imposing draconian regulations.

Results from an irreducibly simple climate model,» concluded that, once discrepancies in IPCC computer models are taken into account, the impact of CO2 - driven manmade global warming over the next century (and beyond) is likely to be «no more than one - third to one - half of the IPCC's current projections» — that is, just 1 - 2 degrees C (2 - 4 deg F) by 2100!

The scientific paper, entitled «Why Models Run Hot,» concludes that the computer models overstated the impact of CO2 on the climate: «The impact of anthropogenic global warming over the next century... may be no more than one - third to one - half of IPCC's current projections.»

The lack of warming for more than a decade — indeed, the smaller - than - predicted warming over the 22 years since the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) began issuing projections — suggests that computer models have greatly exaggerated how much warming additional CO2 can cause.

Yet I've often heard that the H2O only appears in the computer models as being forced by CO2, and therefore it doesn't matter that H2O is a far more effective greenhouse gas than CO2.

For example, the computers themselves don't somehow decide if CO2 is a more important forcing on the climate than solar activity — the modelers, by the assumptions the feed into the model, decide these things.
