Fourth, the null hypothesis (
that observed modern climate variation is due to natural causes) is NOT tested by those computer models.

Neanderthals were adapted to the cold, as shown by their large braincases, short but robust builds, and large noses â $» traits selected by nature in cold
climates, as
observed in
modern sub-arctic populations.
CAGW or Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming is the acronym used (mostly by those that don't support taking immediate action on
climate change) for the theory (or collection of hypotheses) that attribute most of the
observed modern warming to human activities and warn that continuing similar activities (mostly emitting CO2) could result in warming that is dangerous to both civilization and a number of ecosystems.
Note the decreased temperature difference between equator and poles, as also
observed and projected under the
modern climate change.
That's why my belief that one could
observe climate sensitivity and Hansen delay together in HadCRUT3, which was based on an assumed difference between exp (t) and ln (1 + exp (t)-RRB-, is unwarranted for
modern secular
climate.
«Researchers first became intrigued by abrupt
climate change when they discovered striking evidence of large, abrupt, and widespread changes preserved in paleoclimatic archives... The chapter concludes with examples of
modern climate change and techniques for
observing it.

Observed changes [in global
climate] have, indeed, occurred since the
modern HadCRUT temperature record started in 1850, but there is no real - world empirical evidence for anthropogenic contributions to these changes.
As emphasized by the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC),
modern models faithfully simulate continental to global scale temperature patterns and trends
observed during the 20th century.
It's an observation, and the
observed range of natural variation in response to (say) solar cycles are incorporated into
modern climate models.
