of time — Hansen et al 1992)-- but this is not in
general going to be true.
However, the

In the same paper in which he made his often - quoted «
prediction» that doubling the atmospheric concentration

modeling even harder, for not only are the
general parameters
of the physical system necessary to get right, but, if
prediction is a goal, actually TRACKING the actual realization Earth is taking is part
of the job.
I think ordinary folks easily mush together
models with parameters with parameter values or «settings» with exact

of controversy), etc..

The problem,
of course, is that while these different versions
of the
model might all match the historical data, they would in
general generate different
predictions going forward — and sure enough, his calibrated
model produced terrible
predictions compared to the «reality» originally generated by the perfect
model.
Despite enthusiasm for the

When the paper's four authors first tested the finished
model's global - warming
predictions against those
of the complex computer
models and against observed real - world temperature change, their simple
model was closer to the measured rate
of global warming than all the
predictions of the complex «
general - circulation»
models (see the picture which heads this post).
Ferdinand, given that I like your points regarding the shortness
of various time series in the Arctic (notwithstanding Steve Bloom's good suggestion that we look at the big picture), how many more years
of warming trends that continue in
general accordance with
model predictions would it take to convince you?

prediction should be, then we do in fact revert to the problem
of cherry picking.
It was not for practical weather
prediction that meteorologists wanted to push on to
model the entire
