[emphasis added] Bast: «We believe that climate has warmed in the second half of the 20th Century, we believe that there is probably a measurable human impact on climate but it's probably very small, we think that natural forces probably overwhelm any impact that human activity can have, that computer models are too unreliable to forecast what the future might hold for climate and finally that a modest amount of warming is probably going to be, on net, beneficial both to human beings and the ecosystem.

It is to be noted here that there is no necessary contradiction between forecast expectations of (a) some renewed (or continuation of) slight cooling of world climate for a few decades to come, e.g., from volcanic or solar activity variations; (b) an abrupt warming due to the effect of increasing carbon dioxide, lasting some centuries until fossil fuels are exhausted and a while thereafter; and this followed in turn by (c) a glaciation lasting (like the previous ones) for many thousands of years.»

In March 2009, Michaels, under the auspices of the Cato Institute, circulated a draft advertisement that stated: «Surface temperature changes over the past century have been episodic and modest and there has been no net global warming for over a decade now... The computer models forecasting rapid temperature change abjectly fail to explain recent climate behavior.»

The Dismally Scientific fools among you predict, project, forecast, and extrapolate disaster from warming, yet the warming of the last two centuries was a great boon for all life, including, almost irrelevantly, humans.

The 2485 year record is long enough to permit Fourier analysis on the first half replicate the temperature record of the second half and forecast a temperature decline from 2006 to 2068 that wipes out the warming of the last century.

The world has indeed warmed over the last century, but not enough to be consistent with catastrophic forecasts, and not all due to CO2

In her September 25 article on the latest UN climate scare report, Eilperin wrote: «Climate researchers now predict the planet will warm by 6.3 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century even if the world's leaders fulfill their most ambitious climate pledges, a much faster and broader scale of change than forecast just two years ago, according to a report released Thursday by the United Nations Environment Program.»

But there is ONE forecast from the CMIP5 supercomputed ensemble (see John Christy's EPS testimony updated from EPW) that has managed to mimic the 21st century so far — no warming.

Just because great climate flips can happen in response to global warming doesn't mean that they are the most probable outcome of our current situation, what one might «forecast» (that's one of the reasons why I've been careful not to «predict» a cooling in the next century).

In AR4 WG1 Ch.10 (Figure 10.4 and Table 10.5), IPCC shows us how the warming forecasts for the first decades of the century tie into the longer - range forecasts up to the end of the century.

But there is a whole lot of «common sense», which (unfortunately) is missing in the projections of future climate change being sold by IPCC, starting with the failed projection of 0.2 degC warming for the first decade of the century (topic of this thread) and going on to the forecasts of 1.8 degC to 4.0 degC warming by the end of this 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»..

This course presents the science behind the forecast of global warming to enable the student to evaluate the likelihood and potential severity of anthropogenic climate change in the coming centuries.

On the other hand, we've seen the first 12 years of this century go by without any warming at all, despite all - time record GHG concentrations and short - term forecasts by IPCC of 0.2 C per decade.

Yet there are forecasts warning that if the global warming seen at the end of the 20th century continues for several decades, a lot of ice in the Artic Ocean will melt.

When the IPCC gets to a forecast of 3 - 5C warming over the next century (in which CO2 concentrations are expected to roughly double), it is in two parts.

Easterbrook 2015 (32) based his 2100 forecasts on the warming / cooling, mainly PDO, cycles of the last century.

Although real concerns exist about coral mining and the big «Asian Brown Cloud» due to particulates from biomass burning and inefficient industrial processes, Hansen would like to stoke alarm due to global warming, irrespective of the evidence: «An INQUA research in 2003 found that actual sea levels in the Maldives had dropped in the 1970s and forecasts little change in the next century.»

Claiming that the warming we've already seen — and that is forecasted to continue this century — can be reversed with better fossil fuel technology is simply a lie.

By comparing the global warming projection for the next century to natural climate changes of the distant past, and then looking into the future far beyond the usual scientific and political horizon of the year 2100, Archer reveals the hard truths of the long - term climate forecast.

The models heavily relied upon by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had not projected this multidecadal stasis in «global warming»; nor (until trained ex post facto) the fall in TS from 1940 - 1975; nor 50 years» cooling in Antarctica (Doran et al., 2002) and the Arctic (Soon, 2005); nor the absence of ocean warming since 2003 (Lyman et al., 2006; Gouretski & Koltermann, 2007); nor the onset, duration, or intensity of the Madden - Julian intraseasonal oscillation, the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation in the tropical stratosphere, El Nino / La Nina oscillations, the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, or the Pacific Decadal Oscillation that has recently transited from its warming to its cooling phase (oceanic oscillations which, on their own, may account for all of the observed warmings and coolings over the past half - century: Tsoniset al., 2007); nor the magnitude nor duration of multi-century events such as the Mediaeval Warm Period or the Little Ice Age; nor the cessation since 2000 of the previously - observed growth in atmospheric methane concentration (IPCC, 2007); nor the active 2004 hurricane season; nor the inactive subsequent seasons; nor the UK flooding of 2007 (the Met Office had forecast a summer of prolonged droughts only six weeks previously); nor the solar Grand Maximum of the past 70 years, during which the Sun was more active, for longer, than at almost any similar period in the past 11,400 years (Hathaway, 2004; Solankiet al., 2005); nor the consequent surface «global warming» on Mars, Jupiter, Neptune's largest moon, and even distant Pluto; nor the eerily - continuing 2006 solar minimum; nor the consequent, precipitate decline of ~ 0.8 °C in TS from January 2007 to May 2008 that has canceled out almost all of the observed warming of the 20th century.
