It's maybe one reason why people are so easily misled into climate change denial when there don't seem to be any definitive and reliable sources of data that are open to the public where information is presented in various different ways that most ordinary people are interested in.

I've always thought that the way to make progress on climate change, especially in «reluctant» countries like China and even the U.S., is to start by focusing on places where climate goals overlap with other national priorities — like clearing the air or making energy supplies more reliable.

that identified the ways that that extreme weather and climate change threaten reliable electricity in every region of the U.S.

These models are in some ways like climate models, except that we understand electronic components better so our parametrization is more precise and reliable.

Wind energy is well positioned to meet Canada's future electricity needs in a clean, reliable and cost - competitive way while also helping Canada to address the global climate change challenge.

But the projections they obtain may not be as reliable or useful as they appear: Today's gold standard for climate impact assessments — model intercomparison projects (MIPs)-- fall short in many ways.

From there, we can use 17 year smoothing and bounds to produce a 95 % reliable predictor of climate, again on the prior belief that we are able to compare the present to the past in this way.

The world's climate is way too complex... with way too many significant global and regional variables (e.g., solar, volcanic and geologic activity, variations in the strength and path of the jet stream and major ocean currents, the seasons created by the tilt of the earth, and the concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere, which by the way is many times more effective at holding heat near the surface of the earth than is carbon dioxide, a non-toxic, trace gas that all plant life must have to survive, and that produce the oxygen that WE need to survive) to consider for any so - called climate model to generate a reliable and reproducible predictive model.

I do wonder though about the thought processes of some of the more alarmist Climate Scientists — if they were teaching a class and one of their undergraduate students pulled some of the tricks they do in journal articles («a post hoc rationalisation that the «missing heat» is in the one part of the system where there are no reliable measurements, truncation of data part way through a time series to only show the bits that agree with your hypothesis and not the later data that call it into doubt), the student would be failed
