Instead of involving a choice of whether to keep or discard an observation based upon a prior
expectation, we hypothesize that this selection bias involves the «survival» of
climate models from generation to generation, based upon their warming rate.
The disagreement with
climate modelers arises because, first they do not understand error propagation and so reject its diagnosis, and second they don't understand the difference between a physical error statistic and an energetic perturbation, and so treat the statistic as though it impacts the
model expectation values — in this case air temperature.

You also ignored the multiple errors you made in claiming that certain effects were not included in
climate models, including one that I referred you to peer - reviewed literature for proof, If I was one of your design reviewers and you'd completely ignored multiple specific and documented criticisms about your design, I'd go out of my way to make sure that your annual performance review indicated that you were not meeting my
expectations for an engineering intern, never mind an engineer with 46 years of experience.
That is conjecture, because it is illegitimate, once a
model is tuned to a starting
climate, to retune it later in order to make the results conform to
expectations.
Given the failure of the publisher to show any «error» other than the
expectation that
models be consistent with observations, I think that readers are entirely justified in concluding that the article was rejected not because it «contained errors», but for the reason stated in the reviewers» summary: because it was perceived to be «harmfulâ $ ¦ and worse from the

However, one technique used to cast doubt on
climate models is the tactic of impossible
expectations.
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.

Climate models and theoretical
expectations have predicted that the upper troposphere should be warming faster than the surface.
Unfortunately, contrary to
expectations the knowledge of the chaotic nature of
climate is given lip service in the IPCC used
models.
By August that year, and during one of the wettest UK summers ever, the Hadley Centre had dampened their
expectations for the immediate future following the revision of their

In other words, over the past third of a century — the period with the greatest amount of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions — the behavior of the real world (i.e., reality) falls far below the average
expectation of
climate models and, in fact, is clearly
Even the «adjusted» temperatures are not keeping up with the theory's
expectations or the
climate model's actual predictions.
We can see a similar issue in the failure of most
models to adequately capture the interrelations between ENSO and global
climate), but as you increase the period that you are observing over, my
expectation is, reality should conform better with the
models.
Arctic sea - ice has melted far beyond the
expectations of
climate models - about 40 percent greater than the average projection from the 2007 IPCC Report.

[55] According to the World

expectation that
climate models will support decision making on both mitigation and adaptation responses to
climate change.
As Chris Castro and Dave Gutzler write, there is still a lot of uncertainty about how the monsoon might change, if at all, because «the current generation of global
climate models doesn't come close to any consensus as to what the
expectation is for a changed monsoon.»
-- First we increase the greenhouse gases — then that causes warming in the atmosphere and oceans — as the oceans warm up, they evaporate more H2O — more moisture in the air means more precipitation (rain, snow)-- the southern hemisphere is essentially lots of water and a really big ice cube in the middle called Antarctica — land ice is different than sea ice —
climate models indicated that more snowfall would cause increases in the frozen H2O —
climate models indicated that there would be initial increases in sea ice extent — observations confirm the indications and
expectations that precipitation is increasing, calving rates are accelerating and sea ice extent is increasing.
