For a start, observational records are now roughly five years longer, and the global temperature increase over this period has been largely consistent with IPCC projections of greenhouse gas — driven warming made in previous reports dating back to 1990.

But this debate does not challenge the core projections of the IPCC about the impact of greenhouse gas accumulations on temperature, rainfall, and sea - level rise.

The IPCC AR5 Working Group 1 Report contains projections of future global surface temperature change according to several scenarios of future socio - economic development, most of which are presented using a baseline of 1986 to 2005.

IPCC estimates, using the best and longest record available, show that the difference between the 1986 - 2005 global average temperature value used in most of the Panel's projections, and pre-industrial global average temperature, is 0.61 °C (0.55 - 0.67).

A similar adjustment can be applied to some of the temperature change projections in the most recent IPCC report.

Having established that equation, predicting the beetle's expansion into any particular region was just a matter of plugging in the IPCC's temperature projections and crunching the numbers.

Since 1880, 531 gigatons have been emitted and emissions should not exceed 800 gigatons of C for a better than 50 - 50 chance at keeping global temperature rise below 2 degree C.) «We can not emit more than 1000 billion tons of carbon,» Stocker says, noting that the IPCC numbers on which such regional and global climate projections are made will be available to anyone.

«In this post we will evaluate this contrarian claim by comparing the global surface temperature projections from each of the first four IPCC reports to the subsequent observed temperature changes.

p.s. To compare to Vahrenholt's forecast, here's a comparison of earlier model projections of global temperature for the IPCC (prediction with the CMIP3 model ensemble used in the 4th IPCC assessment report, published in 2007) with the actual changes in temperature (the four colored curves).

None of the large scale models used for the IPCC projections have been calibrated on the last millennium — because of uncertainty in the temperatures and uncertainties in the forcings.

If you're talking about global mean temperature I would advise you to compare the projections of the IPCC to the actual measurements of GISS as well as HadCRUT, RSS MSU, and UAH MSU measured data.

Stern's temperature projections were presented as having been «taken straight from a combination of the IPCC and the Hadley Centre.»

The IPCC Third Assessment Report's (TAR's) projections for methane atmospheric concentrations, carbon dioxide emissions and atmospheric concentrations, and resultant temperature increases constitute the greatest fraud in the history of environmental science.

«In this post we will evaluate this contrarian claim by comparing the global surface temperature projections from each of the first four IPCC reports to the subsequent observed temperature changes.

I will bet Gavin Schmidt or any other author on this website $ 200 on LongBets.org that Michael Crichton's projections for temperature increases are more accurate than the IPCC, assuming that the temperature being projected is average lower tropospheric temperature as measured by satellites.

I think without naming a single authority for the +2 C projection (like the IPCC) which translates this temperature to emission scenarios, a temperature target is at least worthless — probably worse.

But in some way it is... it's economics... a old debate is resurfacing, as far as I can tell, the debate abut that the projections (of the temperature) being false or just bad sins (IPCC) they build on unrealistic developments for the poor part of the world (especially for the lower temperature boarder).

The 2007 IPCC report highlights surface temperature projections for the period 2090 - 2099 under a business - as - ususal scenario that reveals +5 °C to +7 °C warming warming of annually average temperatures over much of Eurasia under an aggressive A2 scenario.

The main cause of the spread in the widely quoted 1.5 to 5.8 C range of temperature projections for 2100 in IPCC is actually the different scenarios used.

Just as I am sure that somewhere in the range of the IPCC projections (or «forecasts» if you prefer), lies the true course of temperature during the next 20 - 50 years or so (and maybe longer).

Monckton: 185: Would it not have been fairer if you had admitted that you simply have no idea how the IPCC actually calculates its temperature projections, and that — as will be evident from the above questions — I know enough about it to produce accurate and reliable graphs?

Making the misleading fantasies plain can't be a bad thing — the IPCC isn't speculating that the emission scenarios will come to pass and their underestimated projections of temperatures, ice melt and sea level rise are being pointed out.

Figure 3 Comparison of global temperature (average over 5 data sets, including 2 satellite series) with the projections from the 3rd and 4 IPCC reports.

186: Why did it not occur to you, as it did to me, that, since the IPCC's projections of future exponential CO2 growth and logarithmic temperature response necessarily produce a straight line, the IPCC's detuning of its own projections to reduce the projected temperature change to just 0.2 C ° / decade over the first couple of decades of this century has no basis in scientific reality or method?

It was stupid of the IPCC to combine projections of sea level with temperature when they knew that the two were not directly linked.

According to the latest projections from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the projected temperature rise by the end of the century ranges from about 1.1 to 6.4 °C, with a business - as - usual rise of around 3 °C (put me down for 1.6 ° until then, unless nature is being a blatant liar).

In summary the temperature projections of the IPCC — Met office models and all the impact studies which derive from them have no solid foundation in empirical science being derived from inherently useless and specifically structurally flawed models.

The IPCC TAR produced global temperature projections based on a number of possible greenhouse gas emissions scenarios from their Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES).

The IPCC TAR projection and the 1998 - 2002 average temperature anomaly are baselined to match Easterbrook's projections in 2000.

On the other hand, Easterbrook's two temperature projections showed a 0.2 °C and 0.5 °C cooling over this period, while the IPCC TAR Scenario A2 projection showed a 0.2 °C warming (Figure 6).

Figure 6: Easterbrook's two global temperature projections A (green) and B (blue) vs. the IPCC TAR simple model projection tuned to seven global climate models for emissions scenario A2 (the closest scenario to reality thus far)(red) and observed global surface temperature change (the average of NASA GISS, NOAA, and HadCRUT4)(black) over the period 2000 through 2011.

Thus Figure 1 depicts the IPCC TAR Scenario A2 temperature projection based on a simple climate model which was tuned to the seven Atmosphere - Ocean General Circulation Models (AOCGMs).

Figure 7 compares the IPCC TAR projections under Scenario A2 with the observed global surface temperature change from 1990 through 2012.

Figure 9: IPCC AR4 multi-model projection for emissions Scenario A2 (blue) vs. observed surface temperature changes (average of NASA GISS, NOAA NCDC, and HadCRUT4; red) for 2000 through 2012.

Figure 1 at the top of this post compares the four IPCC projections and the four contrarian predictions to the observed global surface temperature changes.

Indeed, over the last 15 years the observed temperatures are even less than the IPCC projections for the case where emissions were held constant at the 2000 level.

Figure 11 compares their results with and without the short - term noise from natural temperature influences (pink and red, respectively) to the IPCC TAR (blue) and AR4 (green) projections.

The mean high temperature projections for 2050 and 2100 were derived from a suite of 28 climate models (CMIP5 / Oak Ridge National Laboratory) under IPCC emissions scenario RCP8.5, averaged over November 22 - 28 for 2030 - 2049 and 2080 - 2099, respectively.»
