BBD - yes, I am highly skeptical of the conclusions reached based upon analysis of the output of a GCM that has been demonstrated to poorly forecast
future rainfall patterns.

Climate change is likely to influence
rainfall patterns in the Sierra Nevada as well as the amount of dust that makes its way into the atmosphere, so the hope is that a better understanding of how aerosols affect precipitation will help water managers in the
future.
The pair used data on winter
rainfall collected during the 1980s and climate - predicting computer models to extrapolate
future rain - on - snow
patterns across the Northern Hemisphere.
But experts say the
pattern of Eocene
rainfall and rivers, while perhaps important for ancient climate changes, may not help understand
future climate changes.
The findings from researchers at the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science provide new evidence that climate change in the tropical Pacific will result in changes in
rainfall patterns in the region and amplify warming near the equator in the
future.
A group of researchers from Germany has taken to investigating the potential changes in extreme
rainfall patterns across the UK as a result of
future global warming and has found that in some regions, the time of year when we see the heaviest
rainfall is set to shift.
Euresia Review: How will
rainfall patterns across the tropical Indian and Pacific regions change in a
future warming world?
«Uncertainty about feedback mechanisms is one reason why the ultimate goal of climate modeling — forecasting reliably the
future of key variables such as temperature and
rainfall patterns — is not realizable.»
Greenhouse gas emissions affect
rainfall and
future climate
patterns in Africa, according to a new report.
Uncertainty about important feedback mechanisms is one reason why the ultimate goal of climate modeling — the forecasting reliably the
futures key variables such as temperature and
rainfall patterns — is not realizable.
In so doing, it should help climate scientists pinpoint causes of drought and extreme
rainfall in the past and identify
patterns that could lead to better climate model projections for the
future.
Moreover, unless something is done, the current suffering offers a grim foretaste of the
future — temperatures in East Africa are going to rise and
rainfall patterns will change, making a bad situation worse.
Researchers at Vanderbilt University and Stanford University say their comprehensive map of the region's climate 21,000 years ago is helping them test and improve climate models that can predict how
rainfall patterns might change in the
future.
