The possibility of observation - model mismatch due to internal variability must also be accounted for... so in fact, attribution studies sample the range of possible forcings / responses even more completely than a climate model does.

You can also account for possible errors in the amplitudes of the external forcing and the model response by scaling the signal patterns to best match the observations without influencing the attribution from fingerprinting methods, and this provides a more robust framework for attributing signals than simply looking at the time history of global temperature in models and obs and seeing if they match up or not.

Several years ago, certified green Peter Taylor realised the IPCC climate models were flawed, and after years of studying what the IPCC was considering, has concluded that natural forces probably account for 80 % of climate fluctuations, and CO2 forcing about 20 %.

If this heat has been lost to space, and the models have not accounted for it, it would seem to me that it must have an effect on the model «projections» because the non-equalibrium forcing has changed (the system has been reset at a lower temperature).

I'm not sure whether statistical trend models would be sufficient, and in order to examine the «residuals» (the data after the trends have been removed), one really needs to use a fully - flegded climate model with all important forcings and feedback processes accounted for.

RE # 24, I've also brought up the need to consider social science «forcings,» but the CC models do sort of account for them by including a range of emission scenarios:

If all these forcing factors are taken into account in a recent model simulation, the temperature evolution looks like this:

In fact, the logarithmic nature of the climate forcing due to CO2 is built into the radiative transfer used in all IPCC climate models, and has been taken into account in climate models at least since the late 1950's.

This conclusion takes into account observational and forcing uncertainty, and the possibility that the response to solar forcing could be underestimated by climate models.

that climate models can not account for the observations we already have let alone make adequate predictions about what will happen in the future.that century - scale variations in tropical Pacific climate modes can significantly modulate radiatively forced shifts in global temperature.»

In the end, one need not know with a high degree of accuracy the intricacies of the climate's variability to show an increased warming trend: 3 Furthermore, there are no models that exist that are able to match recent observed warming without taking rising CO2 levels into account, i.e. if radiative forcings from CO2 aren't taken into account, then models don't match hindcasting.

Attribution analyses normally directly account for errors in the magnitude of the model's pattern of response to different forcings by the inclusion of factors that scale the model responses up or down to best match observed climate changes.

In this approach based on detection and attribution methods, which is compared with other approaches for producing probabilistic projections in Section 10.5.4.5, different scaling factors are applied to the greenhouse gases and to the response to other anthropogenic forcings (notably aerosols); these separate scaling factors are used to account for possible errors in the models and aerosol forcing.

By comparing modelled and observed changes in such indices, which include the global mean surface temperature, the land - ocean temperature contrast, the temperature contrast between the NH and SH, the mean magnitude of the annual cycle in temperature over land and the mean meridional temperature gradient in the NH mid-latitudes, Braganza et al. (2004) estimate that anthropogenic forcing accounts for almost all of the warming observed between 1946 and 1995 whereas warming between 1896 and 1945 is explained by a combination of anthropogenic and natural forcing and internal variability.

We take all forcings into account when we do climate modeling.

Then when climategate triggered me to closely examine everything, notably the IPCC's attribution argument, I realized that the fingerprints were «muddy», the climate models are running too hot, the forcing data is uncertain, no account is made for multidecadal and longer internal variability, and they have no explanation for the warming 1910 - 1940, the cooling 1940 - 1976, and the hiatus since 1998.

Also, if one uses a simple grey earth model one finds that not taking into account the distribution of radiative forcing of changes in solar irradiance overestimates its strength by a factor of 2 - 3 compared to greenhouse gas forcing.

Studies that do this, such as Foster & Rahmstorf 2011 and many others are of course quickly discounted by some as some kind of «trick», but the justification for accounting for these negative forcings is quite solid scientifically, and show the models are actually quite good at telling us what the underlying forcing from greenhouse gas increases amounts to, though they are still not good at many other things.

The high confidence level ascribed by the IPCC provides bootstrapped plausibility to the uncertain temperature observations, uncertain forcing, and uncertain model sensitivity, each of which has been demonstrated in the previous sections to have large uncertainties that were not accounted for in the conclusion.

Here we show that accounting for recent cooling in the eastern equatorial Pacific reconciles climate simulations and observations.We present a novel method of uncovering mechanisms for global temperature change by prescribing, in addition to radiative forcing, the observed history of sea surface temperature over the central to eastern tropical Pacific in a climate model.

This model took into account the different atmospheric lifetimes of different greenhouse gases and the different radiative forcings of each gas, and also considered delays in the climate system caused primarily by the thermal inertia of the ocean.

Then you need the climate model to respond accurately to all these radiative forcings, and by taking full account of the heat capacity of the atmosphere, land, and ocean, to produce a time trend of the global temperature.
