By picking one specific area of only one of the spheres (surface temperatures), while it might be one piece of interesting information and it certainly it is quite true that surface temperatures have been flat at or near record high levels, focusing on this fact alone and the fact that
climate models failed to have
forecast it, does very little overall good if the goal is to educate the public about the bigger picture, i.e. anthropogenic
climate change as an energy imbalance affecting the whole Earth energy system, including all the spheres discussed above.
The suite of
climate models that Western academia provide to us have been made de facto fortunetellers depicting what many of us believe to be a failed
forecast of disastrous
climate change calamity caused
by industrial man in general and America in particular and I think such global warming fearmongers, really require a willing suspension of disbelief.»
A new threat is
climate change, with Audubon's
climate model forecasting an 82 percent loss of current summer range
by 2080.
This
forecast also suggests global temperatures over the next five years are likely to be well within, or even in the upper half, of the range of warming expected
by the CMIP5
models, as used
by the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change.
If you have time you may want to look at «Validation and

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.
And like its bigger cousin, the Sandwich Tern — already threatened with coastal development and severe weather — is
forecast by Audubon's
climate model to fare poorly in the face of
climate change.
The only evidence in support of the CO2 as the primary cause of global warming are the outputs of the computer
models used
by the U.N's Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change which have been wrong in every
