This model or hypothesis has failed to demonstrate past warming, failed to predict current warming, and because of the nature of the Earth system, can not predict the future beyond forecasting in a limited frame of reference in a semi-stable system (i.e. temperature swings of 10, 20, 30 or more degrees F in minutes, hours, and days).

Given the climate models built - in high sensitivity to CO2 emissions, it is virtually impossible to limit future (computer) warming to just 0.5 degrees.

About 1980ish, some old ideas like the greenhouse effect were brought out of mothballs and re-examined with new tools and techniques; simultaneously several researchers and theoreticians released their notes, published, or otherwise got together and there was a surprising consilience and not a small amount of mixing with old school hippy ecologism on some of the topics that became the roots of Climate Change science (before it was called Global Warming); innovations in mathematics were also applied to climate thought; supercomputers (though «disappointing» on weather forecasting) allowed demonstration of plausibility of runaway climate effects, comparison of scales of effects, and the possibility of climate models combined with a good understanding of the limits of predictive power of weather models.

Using the model Acclimate he contributes to studying the resilience of the global supply system leading to identification of possiblities and limits of global adaptation strategies along different warming scenarios.

Regarding text stating that limiting warming from anthropogenic CO2 emissions alone to likely less than 2 °C since 1861 - 1880 requires cumulative emissions to stay below 1000 gigatonnes of carbon (GtC), Saudi Arabia urged using 1850 for consistency, to which the CLAs responded that some model simulations only begin in 1860, which delegates agreed to reflect in a footnote.

Armed with our model ensemble projection, a temperature limit (2 °C), exceedance likelihood (33 %) and our «one model, one vote» ensemble interpretation, we find the cumulative carbon emission where approximately 33 % of our modeled realizations have warmed more than 2 °C.

Integrated assessment models (IAMs) take underlying socioeconomic factors, such as population and economic growth, as well as a climate target — such as limiting warming to 1.5 C — and estimate what changes could happen to energy production, use, and emissions in different regions of the world to reach the targets in the most cost - effective way.

In summary, then, the best available models indicate that 1) global warming is a problem that is expected to have only a limited impact on the world economy and 2) it is economically rational only to reduce slightly this marginal impact through global carbon taxes.

«It could mean our higher limit of warming is now even higher, depending on the model, which means serious consequences for us in terms of climate change.

The new research finds that limiting warming to 1.5 C rather than 2C could «substantially» reduce the risk of ice - free conditions in the coming decades, says Prof Michael Sigmond, a research scientist at the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis at Environment Canada and lead author of one of the new studies.

Changes in ocean chemistry, which can be described through the Revelle buffer factor [1], limit oceanic removal of CO2 [2], while the potential for terrestrial vegetation to take up CO2 is also predicted by some models to fall as the climate warms [3], although the size of this feedback is uncertain [4].

That is already a dozen years of «little Warming» from human forcing so the models have gone over the time limit.

I don't label myself as a sceptic because my model quite clearly shows there has been periods of anthrogenic global warming, but they stopped and were limited.

Some of the recent modelling would say that if you can limit warming to 1.5 C, or ultimately lower, you're going to be able to limit and reduce or even prevent massive ice sheet disintegration.

Indeed, if this is the situation it is really impossible to forecast climate change for at least a few decades and the practical usefulness of these kind of GCMs is quite limited and potentially very misleading because the model can project a 10 - year warming while then the «red - noise» dynamics of the climate system changes completely the projected pattern!

Hansen and Sato (2012), using paleoclimate data rather than models of recent and expected climate change, warn that «goals of limiting human made warming to 2 °C and CO2 to 450 ppm are prescriptions for disaster» because significant tipping points — where significant elements of the climate system move from one discrete state to another — will be crossed.

My favorite quote from that paper is: «Because ENSO is the dominant mode of climate variability at interannual time scales, the lack of consistency in the model predictions of the response of ENSO to global warming currently limits our confidence in using these predictions to address adaptive societal concerns, such as regional impacts or extremes (Joseph and Nigam 2006; Power et al. 2006).»
