However, this in itself is not enough to define what level of warming is «dangerous,» especially since the projections of actual impacts for any level of warming are highly uncertain, and depend on further factors such as how quickly these levels are reached (so how long ecosystems and society have had to respond), and what other changes are associated with them (eg: carbon dioxide concentration, since this affects plant photosynthesis and water use efficiency, and ocean acidification).

Even if the study were right... (which it is not) mainstream scientists use * three * methods to predict a global warming trend... not just climate computer models (which stand up extremely well for general projections by the way) under world - wide scrutiny... and have for all intents and purposes already correctly predicted the future -(Hansen 1988 in front of Congress and Pinatubo).

These results provide quantitative evidence of the reliability of water vapor feedback in current climate models, which is crucial to their use for global warming projections.

The way the future projection is done is they use randomly shuffled past years of weather (NCEP / NCAR) and add those to a «spine» of warming from GCM projection.

Dr. Judith Curry notes «The most recent climate model simulations used in the AR5 indicate that the warming stagnation since 1998 is no longer consistent with model projections even at the 2 % confidence level» This means the hypothesis upon which these models have been built is wrong and should be abandoned.

me warming of the earth's temperature, but that the observed rate of warming (both at the earth's surface and throughout the lower atmosphere) is considerably less than has been anticipated by the collection of climate models upon whose projections climate alarm (i.e., justification for strict restrictions on the use of fossil fuels) is built.

What's lost in a lot of the discussion about human - caused climate change is not that the sum of human activities is leading to some warming of the earth's temperature, but that the observed rate of warming (both at the earth's surface and throughout the lower atmosphere) is considerably less than has been anticipated by the collection of climate models upon whose projections climate alarm (i.e., justification for strict restrictions on the use of fossil fuels) is built.

The analysis propagates climate model error through global air temperature projections, using a formalized version of the «passive warming model» (PWM) GCM emulator reported in my 2008 Skeptic article.

But if the world has stopped warming what use these projections then?

A paper published in Nature Climate Change, Frame and Stone (2012), sought to evaluate the FAR temperature projection accuracy by using a simple climate model to simulate the warming from 1990 through 2010 based on observed GHG and other global heat imbalance changes.

Differences between high and low projections in climate models used by the IPCC stem mainly from uncertainties over feedback mechanisms - for example, how the carbon cycle and clouds will react to future warming.

«[1] Projections of 21st century warming may be derived by using regression - based methods to scale a model's projected warming up or down according to whether it under - or over-predicts the response to anthropogenic forcings over the historical period.

The refusal in AR5 to accept the implications of the best observational evidence and of the over-estimation of warming by the climate models and accordingly to either: reject the ensemble of GCM projections; use projections from a subset of GCMs with ECS and TCR values fairly close to the best observational estimates; or scale all GCM projections to reflect those estimates is unscientific.

People who've been following the debate about global warming closely will be aware that the economic modelling used in projections of future climate change by the IPCC has been severely criticised by former Australian Statistician Ian Castles and former OECD chief economist David Henderson.

Much of the fear of global warming, now called climate change, stems from long - term projections that use complex climate models.

The A1FI scenario [for up to 6.4 degrees of warming by century's end] was used in the UKCIP02 and UKCP09 climate projections, and a number of high profile UK conferences focussed on the higher - end risks of climate change, eg.

«If you are using data to evaluate the IPCC's projection of 0.2 C / decade warming in the first two decades of the 21st century, with plateaus or pauses at most of 15 - 17 yrs duration,»

If you are using data to evaluate the IPCC's projection of 0.2 C / decade warming in the first two decades of the 21st century, with plateaus or pauses at most of 15 - 17 yrs duration, well then you can pick whatever start date you want.

If anything, our projections for warming are higher than they used to be, and we're seeing discernible changes in ecosystems that we can link back to climate.»

The current version of the figure gives the impression that the IPCC expected temperature to warm continuously year on year, which of course was not the expectation — the projections shown here are just the long - term trend either from averaging the GCMs or using simple climate models.

This inconsistency of the rainfall projections may be related to AOGCM biases, or an unclear relationship between Gulf of Guinea and Indian Ocean warming, land use change and the West African monsoon.

In that report by Christopher Booker, headlined «Top scientists start to examine fiddled global warming figures,» he points out that a new team of five scientists has begun investigating the increasing evidence that the data being used for climate - change projections by computer models has been intentionally distorted by analysts wedded to the global warming hypothesis.

And contrary to Curry's second point, the observed global warming has been consistent with the projections of the range of models used in the IPCC report.

So Gavin is actually using a projection to show it has only been warming since the 19th century.

The exact warming resulting from this delay depends on the trajectory of future CO2 emissions but using one business - as usual - projection we estimate an increase of 3/4 °C for every 15 - year delay in CO2 mitigation.

Their projections show an increase to growing season length, vegetation productivity (outside of the southeastern US) and biomass, as well as increased plant water - use efficiency.They also find that vegetation feedbacks may increase warming in summer at higher latitudes and reduce summer warming at lower latitudes.

An alternative approach uses simple climate model projections of global warming under stabilisation to scale AOGCM patterns of climate change assuming unmitigated emissions, and then uses the resulting scenarios to assess regional impacts (e.g., Bakkenes et al., 2006).

The report's co-author, Prof Corinne Le Quere, director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and professor at the University of East Anglia, says, «Global CO2 emissions since 2000 are tracking the high end of the projections used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which far exceed two degrees warming by 2100.
