The fact that the actual measured planetary warming is less than the lowest IPCC model prediction warming and is found only at high latitudes (which is not predicted by the IPCC models) logically supports the assertion that the planet's response to a change in forcing is to resist the change (negative feedback, planetary clouds in the tropics increase reflecting more sunlight in to space) rather than to amplify the change (positive feedback) due increased water vapour in the atmosphere.

But for journalists and others who are not climate scientists, some narrative would help, as inline text and more clarification as footnotes if needed including, cover for example: — being very clear for a graph what was being forecast (people play silly games with Hansen, confusing which was BAU)-- Perhaps showing original graph first «This is what was predicted...» in [clearly a] sidebar THEN annotated / overlayed graph with «And this is how they did...» sidebar — placing the prediction in context of the evolving data and science (e.g. we'd reached 3xx ppm and trajectory was; or «used improved ocean model»; or whatever)-- perhaps a nod to the successive IPCC reports and links to their narrative, so the historical evolution is clear, and also perhaps, how the confidence level has evolved.

One reason the IPCC models do not make predictions I understand, is because it is not possible to start them in a state known to hold at some definite initial time — say last Wednesday.

Nevertheless, the IPCC appears to be set to conclude that warming in the near future will resume in accord with climate model predictions.

As it happens, AGW is a very highly politicised issue, deals with uncertain predictions based on computer models (rather than observations) and there is a substantial minority of experts, including some IPCC contributors who don't agree with this position.

If there was actual empirical measurements and irrefutable studies (sans climate model simulations) supporting the IPCC's CAGW claims and predictions, then skeptics, and any of those in - the - bedroom - closet boogieman deniers, would likely not exist except in the conspiracy - addled brains of climate doomsday believers.

Just as a hypothetical example: If climate scientist will tell me that recent pause in global warming is due to the effect of an inactive sun (which is the reality as reported by following) http://www.spaceweather.com and that they will go back and improve their models to account for this, then I would be more inclined to believe their other claims... Instead the IPCC doubles down on their predictions and claim the future effects will be worst than they originally thought?

I can not speak for «the bulk of climate skeptics» (I presume you do not really mean «climate skeptics», but rather «CAGW skeptics»), but I have always concluded that the IPCC model - derived predictions for ECS were exaggerated by a factor of 2 - 3, and this position now seems validated.

In 1990 the IPCC's central business - as - usual prediction for the medium term was equivalent to 0.28 K per decade, so, on any view, Karl's paper is an admission that the models have been exaggerating by well over double.

WG3 is by far the least credible part of the IPCC, making speculative predictions of consequences based on warming calculated by models with no demonstrated predictive skill.

Canlorbe: In the view of many, IPCC's predictions based on computer models are little better than Tarot cards and astrological predictions.

Yet some kind of climate model is indispensable to make future predictions of the climate system and IPCC has identified several reasons for respect in the climate models including the fact that models are getting better in predicting what monitoring evidence is actually observing around the world in regard to temperature, ice and snow cover, droughts and floods, and sea level rise among other things.

The IPCC / AR4 failed to discuss this requirement, and thus, misled the impacts and policy communities on what is the current state of multi-decadal climate prediction modeling.

The conviction that climate model outputs are credible predictions for the future propagates beyond IPCC texts, often without mentioning their origin (for which we can not imagine anything else but climate models).

The attempt to distinguish between the terms «projection» and «prediction», whether by the IPCC or others, has introduced an unnecessary confusion to the impacts and policy communities regarding the skill of regional and local multi-decadal climate model runs.

The author describes the output of models indifferently as «forecasts», «predictions», or «projections», while Vicky Pope of the Met (echoing Trenberth's famous remark that the IPCC doesn't do predictions) says:

Because the alleged IPCC «consensus» is so widely trusted, many climate scientists who haven't studied man - made global warming theory or the predictions of the computer models assume that they must be reliable merely «because the IPCC says so», rather than checking for themselves.

The IPCC and the world's major climate agencies» CO2 - centric climate models have failed abysmally at global temperature predictions, per the actual scientific evidence... (Ramez Naam denies this)

The simple, indisputable, scientific summary after 35 years of empirical evidence: The tropical, runaway hotspot did not happen in spite of massive amounts of CO2 emissions released into the atmosphere; ergo, the IPCC was wrong, again; the billion - dollar climate model predictions were wrong, again; alarmist, agenda - driven scientists» claims of climate doomsday were wrong, again; and, the fanatical anti-CO2 green lobby was wrong, as always.
