There are many who will not like this recent paper published in Nature Communications on principle as it talks of the hiatus in

Kevin Hamilton, who co-authored the report, warns: «If our

Just as a hypothetical example: If
climate scientist will tell me that recent pause in
global warming is due to the effect of an inactive sun (which is the reality as reported by following) http://www.spaceweather.com and that they will go back and improve their
models to account for this, then I would be more inclined to believe their other claims... Instead the IPCC doubles down on their
predictions and claim the future effects will be worst than they originally thought?

Type 2 dynamic downscaling refers to regional weather (or
climate) simulations in which the regional
model's initial atmospheric conditions are forgotten (i.e., the
predictions do not depend on the specific initial conditions), but results still depend on the lateral boundary conditions from a

prediction where initial observed atmospheric conditions are not yet forgotten, or are from a
global reanalysis.
This skill must be assessed by predicting
global, regional and local average

Despite this, supporters of the anthropogenic
