Example of a simple linear
regression model of climate change.

A suggestive way
of putting it, because for any software engineer worth his salt what Steve has shown beyond doubt is that
climate science, not least its authoritative expressions in IPCC reports, has been atrocious in
regression testing
of its central general circulation and other
models, taking that important term in its broadest and most important sense.
The
regression model does support the
climate models (CMIP3 and CMIP5 AOGCMs) pro- jections
of a much warmer and drier southwestern US only if the AMO changes its 1,000 years cyclic behavior and instead continues to rise close to its 1975 — 2000 rate.
The data were then analysed together using optimisation
regression modelling to identify whether
climate change between 1963 and 2014 impacted the risk
of conflict and displacement
of people in East Africa.
All CMIP5
models with such
climate sensitivities
of 2.7 K or below have an ECS value estimated from
regression over years 21 - 150
of their abrupt4xCO2 simulation data
of 3 K or below.
On the contrary, the authors stated that to show the robustness
of the main conclusion
of the paper — a relatively small equilibrium
climate sensitivity — they deliberately adopted the
regression model that gave the highest
climate sensitivity.
One
of the parameters is high stand or low stand conditions based on sea level transgression /
regression curves which is related to long term
climate, but I am not aware
of any oil companies that use anything remotely resembling what I understand to be a
climate model with forcings, and certainly not one driven by something like CO2, solar or anyhting else, simply because you can not know the necessary parameters over the millions
of years
of geological time that you are interested in
modelling.
While simple comparisons
of observations with simulations by
climate models have sometimes been used, the most commonly used approach is based on linear
regression models (OLS), sometimes assuming error in the predictor (TLS or EIV).
«A strong warming and severe drought predicted on the basis
of the ensemble mean
of the CMIP
climate models simulations is supported by our
regression analysis only in a very unlikely case
of the continually increasing AMO at a rate similar to its 1970 — 2010 increase» 7
For starters,
climate models are not simple multiple
regressions of several variables against the
climate record which capitalize on chance.
One could create N time - series
of AR1 do a multivariate
regression and get a fit as good as the best
climate models.
When zero - intercept
regressions are used for estimation, the transient efficacy
of Historical iRF is then 1.02, and the equilibrium efficacy is also 1.02 (1.09 with ΔQ divided by 0.86), based on an effective
climate sensitivity
of 2.0 °C for the
model.
