It is intellectually dishonest to devote several pages to cherry - picking studies that disagree with the IPCC consensus on net health effects because you don't like its scientific conclusion, while then devoting several pages to hiding behind [a misstatement of] the U.N. consensus on sea level rise because you know a lot reasonable people think the U.N. wildly underestimated the upper end of the range and you want to attack Al Gore for worrying about 20 - foot sea level rise.On this blog, I have tried to be clear what I believe with my earlier three - part series: Since sea level, arctic ice, and most other climate change indicators have been changing faster than most IPCC models projected and since the IPCC neglects key amplifying carbon cycle feedbacks, the IPCC reports almost certainly underestimate future climate impacts.

In the rekognition of the uncertainties, the IPCC Good - Practice - Guidance - Paper on using climate model results offers some wise advice (first bullet point under section 3.5 on p. 10): the local climate change scenarios should be based on (i) historical change, (ii) process change (e.g. changes in the driving circulation), (iii) global climate change projected by GCMs, and (iv) downscaled projected change.

The analysis also follows the advice in the IPCC Good - Practice - Guidance - Paper on using climate model results: the local climate change scenarios should be based on (i) historical change, (ii) process change (e.g. changes in the driving circulation), (iii) global climate change projected by GCMs, and (iv) downscaled projected change.

The problem I think is the assumption that is implicit in the climate science activist community and that is somewhat reflected in the IPCC that models are adequate for «projecting» or «predicting» (depending on what rather irrelevant semantic nuances you want to use) what will happen in 100 years.

Although the IPCC climate models have performed remarkably well in projecting average global surface temperature warming thus far, Rahmstorf et al. (2012) found that the IPCC underestimated global average sea level rise since 1993 by 60 %.

As far as I am concerned, GCMs are «good enough» at projecting scenarios, and all this «but regional models» amounts to a smokescreen to obfuscate rpielke's failure to explicitely commit his agreement disagreement regarding the IPCC's main attribution statement.

Well, now, IF IPCC concedes - that ECS is very likely 1.6 - 1.7 C - that expected warming by 2100 is projected to be around 1C rather than 2 - 6C, as previously estimated)- that the model - predicted changes in «severe weather» from AR4 are no longer likely to occur, as a result.

Importantly, the changes in cereal yield projected for the 2020s and 2080s are driven by GHG - induced climate change and likely do not fully capture interannual precipitation variability which can result in large yield reductions during dry periods, as the IPCC (Christensen et al., 2007) states: ``... there is less confidence in the ability of the AOGCMs (atmosphere - ocean general circulation models) to generate interannual variability in the SSTs (sea surface temperatures) of the type known to affect African rainfall, as evidenced by the fact that very few AOGCMs produce droughts comparable in magnitude to the Sahel droughts of the 1970s and 1980s.»

If IPCC models can not even predict the temperature of the next decade, why are we to put any confidence whatsoever in their ability to project temperatures for the next several decades — or even century?

-- IPCC has been clear in its wording — no «coffee pauses» were postulated, but a clear warming of 0.2 C per decade was projected by the models for «he next two decades» in AR4 (and a warming of 0.15 C to 0.3 C per decade in the previous TAR)-- In AR4 Ch.10, Figure 10.4 and Table 10.5, IPCC show us how the projected warming of the early decades ties into the longer - term forecast for the entire century, IOW the warming of the early decades is an integral part of the «entire postulated journey»..
