And that's before accounting for some of the factors that the model doesn't consider: the disagreement in the polls, the unusual nature of Trump's candidacy and the demographic changes it is producing, Clinton's superior turnout operation, the possibility of «shy Trump» voters, the fact that the news cycle is still somewhat fluid headed into the final weekend, the declining response rates to polls, and the substantial number of high - profile polling misses around the world over the past few years.

Your statement that «Thus it is natural to look at the real world and see whether there is evidence that it behaves in the same way (and it appears to, since model hindcasts of past changes match observations very well)» seems to indicate that you think there will be no changes in ocean circulation or land use trends, nor any subsequent changes in cloud responses thereto or other atmospheric circulation.

Studies of the link between orbital parameters and past climate changes include spectral analysis of palaeoclimatic records and the identification of orbital periodicities; precise dating of specific climatic transitions; and modelling of the climate response to orbital forcing, which highlights the role of climatic and biogeochemical feedbacks.

Response: < / b > von Storch et al purport to test statistical methods used to reconstruct past climate patterns from «noisy» proxy data by constructing false proxy records («pseudoproxy» records) based on adding noise to model gridbox temperature series taken from a climate simulation forced with estimated past radiative forcing changes.

Observational and model studies of temperature change, climate feedbacks and changes in the Earth's energy budget together provide confidence in the magnitude of global warming in response to past and future forcing.

[Response: There are numerous detailed discussions already available on this site comparing modeled and reconstructed hemispheric temperature variations over the past 1000 years.

Most past modeling experiments that investigated the atmospheric response to Arctic change only considered the loss of sea ice, which of course misses much of the effect of Arctic amplification.

As we write in the paper: «These two models were designed to describe only the short - term response, but are in good agreement with reconstructed sea level for the past 700 y.» The former means we never used them to compute long - range hindcasts — they are merely shown here for comparison purposes, so that readers can see what difference the additional term in Eq.

[Response: The problem with hypotheising ozone changes in the past is that ozone leaves no unique geochemical trace, and thus you have to rely on models completely to fill in the gaps.

If we calibrate a driver / response relationship based on a criterion of some minimal correlation (or probability) from a linear model, but the calibration period from which that derives only actually samples some part of a more complex, non-linear response surface / curve, then the estimates of the parameter of interest in times past could be seriously wrong and / or the certainty in the parameter over-estimated.

More interestingly, in response to the second referee's objection that older SRES scenarios were used instead of the new RCP scenarios, Hansen replied: «Our paper compares observations (thus the past) and models, thus only deals with the past.

See e.g. this review paper (Schmidt et al, 2004), where the response of a climate model to estimated past changes in natural forcing due to solar irradiance variations and explosive volcanic eruptions, is shown to match the spatial pattern of reconstructed temperature changes during the «Little Ice Age» (which includes enhanced cooling in certain regions such as Europe).

Your statement that «Thus it is natural to look at the real world and see whether there is evidence that it behaves in the same way (and it appears to, since model hindcasts of past changes match observations very well)» seems to indicate that you think there will be no changes in ocean circulation or land use trends, nor any subsequent changes in cloud responses thereto or other atmospheric circulation.

As we have discussed several times elsewhere on this site, studies employing model simulations of the past millennium have been extremely successful in reproducing many of the details evident in paleoclimate reconstructions of this interval as a forced response of the climate to natural (primarly volcanic and solar) and in more recent centuries, anthropogenic, radiative changes.

In this study, tree ring series were selected for model development that extended into the 1990s (more recent than in past studies) and only sites showing a strong temperature response at the local scale were chosen.

We can not rule out the possibility that some of the low - frequency Pacific variability was a forced response to variable solar intensity and changing teleconnections to higher latitudes that are not simulated by the models, or that non-climatic processes have influenced the proxies... the paleodata - model mismatch supports the possibility that unforced, low - frequency internal climate variability (that is difficult for models to simulate) was responsible for at least some of the global temperature change of the past millennium.»

Climate system properties that determine the response to external forcing have been estimated both from climate models and from analysis of past and recent climate change.

Since the mean radiative forcing progression in RCP 8.5 is likely steeper than the radiative forcing progression of the recent past, this finding can not be used to suggest that models are overestimating the response to forcings and it can not be used to infer anything about future rates of warming.

Therefore, in a subsequent MAGICC run we replaced our ice core — based reconstruction with Sato's [Sato et al., 1993](and updated to present) values after 1970 and compared the model response to NH temperature reconstructions [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2007, Figure 6.10] for the past millennium (Figure 4).

As you mention, the response to CO2 is logarithmic, and this is the basis for almost all modeling of CO2 / temperature relationships as well as estimates of past CO2 contributions to climate change.

Simulations where the magnitude of solar irradiance changes is increased yield a mismatch between model results and CO2 data, providing evidence for modest changes in solar irradiance and global mean temperatures over the past millennium and arguing against a significant amplification of the response of global or hemispheric annual mean temperature to solar forcing.

Seawater data collected by a Hydrolab DataSonde (Hach Company, Loveland, CO) since 2000 show that the ocean at this site has undergone a sustained decline in pH over the past decade [2] at a rate that is an order of magnitude greater than expected based on model predictions [13] and the equilibrium response to rising atmospheric CO2 concentration.

It is true that the model replications of past conditions are not perfect, which is to be expected given the chaotic variations of the climate about its now - changing baseline; however, the ensemble of model simulations has been tested against previously observed perturbations to climate (such as the response to volcanic eruptions) and overall they correspond well with what is observed to occur.

Modeled regional and global climate responses to simulated (107, 110, 111) and reconstructed historical land cover changes over the past century (112) and millennium (113) generally agree that anthropogenic deforestation drives biogeophysical cooling at higher latitudes and warming in low latitudes and suggest that biogeochemical impacts tend to exceed biogeophysical effects (113).

The temperature trends during the past decades as observed and in the (ensemble mean) model response (Fig. 4) are roughly consistent with each other, which indicates that much of the land warming is a response to the warming of the oceans.

About # 4 and # 10 of the main response to George Will, I think it would be interesting to start a discussion about the real performance of current climate models to «predict the past» (and thus the ability to «project the future»).

When done so, proxy records and climate models indicate that the response to past global warming was profound, with evidence for global reorganisation of the hydrological cycle and profound local increases and decreases in rainfall; combined with elevated temperatures and terrestrial vegetation change, this appears to often result in warming - enhanced soil organic matter oxidation, chemical weathering and nutrient cycling.
