The fact that I can point to the
majority of models not predicting this fast
of a decline, and you can point out a few that say that it might have started by now and it hasn't, totally ignores the fact that either way, sea ice is diminishing and that is consistent with accumulating heat in the Earth's
climate system.
These observations, together with computer
model simulations and historical
climate reconstructions from ice cores, ocean sediments and tree rings all provide strong evidence that the
majority of the warming over the past century is a result
of human activities.
Scientists proposing catastrophic
majority anthropogenic global warming
models (a.k.a. «
Climate change») bear the burden
of proof
of providing clear robust evidence supporting validated
model predictions
of anthropogenic warming with strong significant differences from this climatic null hypothesis.
The society has officially taken a position many
of us AMS members do not agree with... Instead
of organizing meetings with free and open debates on the basic physics and the likelihood
of AGW induced
climate changes, the leaders
of the society... have chosen to fully trust the
climate models and deliberately avoid open debate and discussion... My interaction (over the years) with a broad segment
of AMS members... have indicated that a
majority of them do not agree that humans are the primary cause
of global warming.»

climate sensitivity is clearly rather small and much smaller that the
majority of models.»

of much ongoing research as the
majority (but not all)
of the
climate models looking at the decline in Arctic sea ice from anthropogenic greenhouse gas forcing did not forsee the extremely rapid decline we've seen.
Mass - balance
modelling of all glaciers individually is not practical because no detailed description exists for the great
majority of them, and because local
climate data are not available; even regional
climate models do not have sufficient resolution, while downscaling methods can not generally be used because local
climate measurements have not been made (see Section 10.7).
How exactly are you proving your point when you admit (emphasis mine)... «yes, the temperature moved FIRST» and you make hidden conciliatory statements like... «for the
MAJORITY of that time» and then you freely admit... «CO2 did not trigger the warmings» and then you rely on the lamest
of hollow arguments... «according to
climate THEORY and
model EXPERIMENTS» and then you stumble back to close with complete opinion and conjecture... «we may well» and «The likely candidates» Anyone with a brain will read your post and laugh - it's pathetic and you've actually done nothing but strengthen the skeptics argument.

majority of skeptics is concerned, we are in agreement with Meres: The
models are wrong on many levels and can not predict future
climate.

models and what robust measuremrents we do have, the overwhelming
majority of government - funded
climate scientists endorse the alarmist worldview tells because that is what benefits their paymaster and ideological agenda.

majority of hard - science research scientists are now coming to the belief that the
climate models used by the UN's IPCC and major
climate agencies are seriously in error, based on this latest research and empirical evidence.
While Zhang et al. (2007) concluded globally that they had detected an anthropogenic influence on the overall latitudinal patterns
of precipitation trends (that is, the
climate model trends were
of the same sign as the observed trends), in the latitude band that includes the
majority of the United States population a mismatch between
model projections and precipitation trends was found (Figure 1).
These results imply that high ECS and TCR values derived from a
majority of CMIP5
climate models are inconsistent with observed warming during the historical period.
Past
climate models, as judged by the performance
of the
majority of Coupled

The most likely scenario is that suggested by the
climate model in Meehl (2011) & Meehl (2013)- the
majority of this slowing
of surface temperatures is due to natural variabilty (deep ocean warming) superimposed atop a long - term warming trend (greenhouse gas - induced warming
of the surface ocean).
