Furthermore,
numerous model and observation - based estimates of radiative forcing have been reported in the scientific literature over the past decades, providing an important historical reference for future calculations.
Not exact matches
Other indications of evolution are too
numerous to actually list in full, but a few might be the clear genetic distinction between Neanderthals
and modern man; the overlapping features of hominid
and pre-hominid fossil forms; the progressive order of the fossil record (that is, first fish, then amphibians, then reptiles, then mammals, then birds; contradicting the Genesis order
and all flood
models); the phylogenetic relationships between extant
and extinct species (including distributions of parasitic genetic elements like Endogenous Retroviruses); the real time
observations of speciation in the lab
and in the wild; the real time
observations of novel functionality in the lab
and wild (both genetic, Lenski's E. coli,
and organsimal, the Pod Mrcaru lizards); the
observation of convergent evolution defeating arguments of common component creationism (new world v. old world vultures for instance);
and... well... I guess you get the picture.
Numerous recent studies based on both
observations and model simulations indicate that reduced Barents - Kara sea ice in late fall favors a strengthened
and northwestward expansion of the Siberian high, increased poleward heat flux, weakened polar vortex,
and ultimately a negative AO.
Obviously, there are even more
numerous and greater magnitude differences between
model predictions
and observations over even shorter periods than 10 years.
Another common sense reason for rejecting the President's alarmist (
and model - based) vision of Earth's climatic future is that they are unsupported by
numerous observations.
The
models (
and there are many) have
numerous common behaviours — they all cool following a big volcanic eruption, like that at Mount Pinatubo in 1991; they all warm as levels of greenhouse gases are increased; they show the same relationships connecting water vapour
and temperature that we see in
observations;
and they can quantify how the giant lakes left over from the Ice Age may have caused a rapid cooling across the North Atlantic as they drained
and changed ocean circulation patterns.
None of these could have been caused by an increase in atmospheric CO2,
Model projections of warming during recent decades have greatly exceeded what has been observed, The
modelling community has openly acknowledged that the ability of existing
models to simulate past climates is due to
numerous arbitrary tuning adjustments,
Observations show no statistically valid trends in flooding or drought,
and no meaningful acceleration whatsoever of pre-existing long term sea level rise (about 6 inches per century) worldwide, Current carbon dioxide levels, around 400 parts per million are still very small compared to the averages over geological history, when thousands of parts per million prevailed,
and when life flourished on land
and in the oceans.
